  • _lissssr Lisa🖤 (@_lissssr) reported

    Not being able to login to my @Outlook account to access my tickets to a show is giving me so much anxiety!!!!

  • ImSkyeTwit Skye (@ImSkyeTwit) reported

    @italic Are you aware that something in your emails causes problems with the desktop version of @Outlook . As soon as one of your emails is visible in the list, CPU usage spikes and Outlook freezes. I suspect is has something to do with the excessive amount of base64 you use.

  • MarkusWerle So-called Artist 㡹 (@MarkusWerle) reported

    @Outlook E-Mail: Ctrl+Return -> Send E-Mail @GitHub Issues: Ctrl+Return -> Save Comment @Office365 Word: Ctrl+Return on a comment -> nothing happens. But for sure $ 250'000 budget for the #UX department.

  • iDineshRoy Dinesh Kumar Roy (@iDineshRoy) reported

    @Outlook We're having an issue here in Nepal to send the messages from webmail to Outlook and to send the emails from Outlook to webmails. Even the government webmails are not able to receive the emails from Outlook accounts. Please fix these issues. Because this is becoming a disaster.

  • sprain Manuel Reinhard (@sprain) reported

    @Outlook «Outlook on the web for Exchange Server» is very broken lately on macOS in Safari and Chrome. It thinks it is offline when it's not, loses drafts, does not send mails and is generally a pain. Are you aware of this?

  • FanboyLBBH CRY BABY 🍼 (@FanboyLBBH) reported

    Holy ******* ****. Getting into your accounts nowadays is so ******* complicated but they let hackers in no problem. **** you, @Twitter, @Tumblr and @Outlook.

  • NiceEtoile Diane Messias (@NiceEtoile) reported

    .@Outlook My email account with you is not recognising a bona fide gmail address in a group email I want to send, meaning I have to send it to them individually. How can I fix this, please?

  • ElderHoratio Anna Bacon (@ElderHoratio) reported

    @Outlook I haven't been able to access my account for almost a week. The app keeps saying it can't access the account and the website says there's a typo in the link when I click on Login.

  • Mika_254M Mika Manaki (@Mika_254M) reported

    @outlook and just to be clear its effective in securing your account, including the owner of the account when certain conditions are met. do fix this as it has become a very big inconvenience and your assistance option are quit limited towards solving this problem.

  • JohnGalt2727 John Galt (@JohnGalt2727) reported

    Hey @Microsoft Your authenticator tool has a major issue: Apps re-request authentication in the background (@Outlook on iOS eg) and you can't tell what requested the authentication so you choose no, even though it's likely good. Then you don't get emails.

  • KaaSerpent Gary Henderson (he/him) (@KaaSerpent) reported

    Hey, @Outlook, why does the search feature completely and utterly not work? Could you maybe...you know...FIX that?

  • DebbieThacks Debbie Thackeray (@DebbieThacks) reported

    @Outlook Any idea when the search function issue will be resolved? Resorting to using the Gmail app to search for emails is tedious.

  • atleyhunter ɹəʇunɥ ʎəlʇɐ (@atleyhunter) reported

    @Microsoft, @Outlook Just spent an hour trying to help my mom recover her outlook account... she screwed up the Fix My Account prompt twice and now she's locked out of Skype, email, he calendar, and edge no longer logs her into things 1/2

  • SIDE_EYE_KING MAD AT THE WORLD (@SIDE_EYE_KING) reported

    @Outlook why is my email not allowing replies? Says the server has reached its limit

  • _danielleeeees Danielle (@_danielleeeees) reported

    When you accept a calendar invite on Microsoft outlook and then it moves to your deleted but stays unread <<<<< @Outlook please fix this feature. It’s so frustrating.

  • sactiest Maul (@sactiest) reported

  • kyleduffy_83 kyle duffy (@kyleduffy_83) reported

    @Microsoft @Outlook I don't enjoy having to hit space three times to cancel your suggestion and continue with what i wanted to type. I don't enjoy the editor randomly opening new tabs and starting new drafts in the middle of typing an email. fix your #broken predictive text

  • WBBanner Wendy Banner (@WBBanner) reported

    @Outlook Why is Outlook down right now? 1:20 pm EST

  • OanaPicincu Oana (@OanaPicincu) reported

    @Outlook Hi! Can you please make Outlook organise (by default) names in alphabetical order when sending emails to (many) people? It might help calm down some egos (with titles) that get super sensitive on the order in which their names is placed in the email distribution list…

  • MikailaCessa mikacrypt (@MikailaCessa) reported

    @Outlook my search is not working

  • inweblife Ivan Dimitrov (@inweblife) reported

  • MakreMeow Sahina (@MakreMeow) reported

    Friggin hell someone's been trying to access my Hotmail account. The number of unsuccessful login attempts over the last 3 days is unreal @Outlook #hotmail #Hacking

  • dnbrv Denis Baranov 🤍❤🤍 (@dnbrv) reported

    @martymadrid Why doesn't anyone see the problem, which has existed for years? It's a pain in the *** to schedule meetings when you don't know each other's availability. @Outlook has solved it on the corporate level but it's still there for external connections.

  • honeykesi k 🎀 (@honeykesi) reported

  • StephensonSven Sven Stephenson (@StephensonSven) reported

    @Outlook why am i having so much trouble connection to outlook online? my phone app works fine but not on my surface...getting tired of unable to connect messages!

  • shaeid120 Shah Sherrif (@shaeid120) reported

    @Outlook please fix the bug msg: 'you've requested too many codes today, please try again tomorrow. I can't login or reset my outlook password and am missing emails. #Microsoft #outlook #hotmail

  • blobdell Bryce (@blobdell) reported

    @Outlook Just realized I hadn't got any email in several days. Hit "sync" no new mail. Logged into OWA and I have dozens of new emails. Maybe you want to fix it so that if it is not getting email for some reason that it tells the user as much.
