    I was so proud of myself for setting up my @karolinskainst email account yesterday - today I can’t sign in as I deleted @Microsoft app from my phone and am now going in circles with other @Outlook accounts. Am I the only millennial with such a poor grasp of tech? 🤯

    Hey @Outlook @Microsoft @Microsoft365 are there plans to fix Outlook so users can send calendar invites privately? My office have said we can't use Resources now as a workaround & we have a worse work around. Also, is 'Resources' use risky? Our Risk & IT said it's 'unsafe'. Thx

    @arter97 I think @gmail notification push is broken. When I use @Outlook app, I receive all my notifications, including Gmail account's.

  • ivanzlatev Ivan Zlatev (@ivanzlatev) reported

    . @Outlook @Office365 You should really fix the syncing of "subscribe from web" calendars. It's simply not acceptable in this day and age that it takes multiple hours for changes to come through and often it just stops syncing entirely...

  • pasqueflower19 Carol RN ❤️Rush 👩‍⚕️🌸🇺🇸 🇮🇱 (@pasqueflower19) reported

    @Outlook WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH HOTMAIL/OUTLOOK? ALL OF A SUDDEN TODAY IT STARTED SENDING EVERYTHING BACK TO ME AS NONDELIVERABLE. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE.

  • C_C_Ioannou Christos Ioannou (@C_C_Ioannou) reported

    I've said it before on Twitter but it's time to say it again. @Outlook's junk filter is terrible. Emails from folks at the same institution via Sharepoint (also Microsoft) and replies to my emails gone straight to junk. Obvious crap let through. #worsethanrandom

  • ecsamanci Emir SAMANCI 🔴🇹🇷🇨🇭⚪️ (@ecsamanci) reported

    @Outlook You are really waste of time yet the best integrated tool. How come I can’t add an outlook e-mail account as alias to my existing MS account?! I get the error that the account already exists 🤯 Seriously?!! #Microsoft #Outlook
