@Outlook push notifications have completed stopped working on the iOS 15 mail app, been like this for weeks/maybe months. Managed to get push notifications directly from the Outlook app but it's a workaround rather than a fix. Any news?

.@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?

@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.

@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…

@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?

@Outlook you really gotta make verification slightly easier, I tried all night to login to my account and I can’t because the alt email I set up is no longer in use. Very frustrating.

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

@Outlook Appalled by the non existent help from you guys. I have an issue accessing my outlook email and after completing the online form and contacting you via Facebook I have been left with no help and told your service agents can’t help. Poor service.

@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.

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.

@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.

@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
