  • vmitchell85 Vince Mitchell (@vmitchell85) reported

    Hey @Outlook … I never want to reply to myself… why does your stupid app always do that?!?! If I’m in a thread and hit reply and I was the last one to email it should be smarter! Never have this issue with other email apps!

  • photoheathen Mark ◣ ◢ (@photoheathen) reported

    @Outlook fix your spam filter! fix it!!

  • amitbvij Amit Vij (@amitbvij) reported

    @Outlook After upgrading to iOS 14.5 beta, the Outlook consistently crashes, both the beta and release. Any known issue? Or, is it me only?

  • Hanan_Farhat_ حنان فرحات (@Hanan_Farhat_) reported

    @Microsoft365 @Outlook I'd love to, but my email won't sign in. Can't find the email 😕

  • bladenomics K (@bladenomics) reported

    @zapier is picking the wrong time when trying to integrate @Outlook with @TickTickTeam How can I fix this?

  • jamesport079 James Portelli ☕ (@jamesport079) reported

    @dotMorten @terrajobst @Outlook Very informative error btw.. (Opens Google Maps to find location of error)

  • sandehalynch Sandeha Lynch, #Europa, #Earth (@sandehalynch) reported

    @AdamHartScience @Outlook Similar problem- I hope someone chimes in!

  • jirihelmich Jirka Helmich (@jirihelmich) reported

    So, @UserVoice has moved to sign in using email links only, without using a password. I guess to make sure people do not share logins. Well, would be great if @Outlook would not drop all of the sign in emails to spam... :)

  • Joe55223459 Joe Morris (@Joe55223459) reported

    @JacobU1998 @Outlook Kindly contact @steven_specter he can fix that for you

  • JacobU1998 Jacob Underwood (@JacobU1998) reported

    @Outlook I’m having issues logging into my outlook email as well as my laptop! And it says I can regain access to my laptop if I can log into my outlook account but it won’t let me log into it even though I was certain I knew the password! Please help me it’s very important

  • LocatiM Michele Locati (@LocatiM) reported

    @Outlook Why on earth are you using #uceprotect??? They blacklisted a whole DigitalOcean netblock (2,367,232 IPs) because 0.1 % of them was reported as spammers. And to whitelist our MX server we have to pay a ransom

  • bergrbergr Sean Berger 💛❤️🏹 (@bergrbergr) reported

    I enjoy the new-ish @Outlook for Mac update, but whatever they did with this update to search results is a step backwards from the existing feature that was perfectly fine and reliable. Search results are absolutely broken in the new version.

  • EgworP egwor_public (@EgworP) reported

    @jaredcwhite @dhh Why is it calmer / less anxiety inducing ? @Outlook ‘a broken (did I mention late) reminders drives me nuts ! Does it do reminders for meetings properly ?

  • Emmie0615 Emily Bahrami ⚓️ (@Emmie0615) reported

    Ok @Microsoft I don’t have time for @Outlook to be down 😩😩

  • GregCGilbert Greg C. Gilbert (@GregCGilbert) reported

    @JenMsft @Outlook Hit reply, scroll down, copy, scroll up, paste.  Hit send.

  • pataijozsef Joe Patai  (@pataijozsef) reported from Eger, Heves megye

    The @Outlook desktop app after 2 days still says “This folder has not yet been updated” for the group folders. I did try to uncheck the cache and restart the program several times, but no change! The OWA working great! Maybe a feature update will solve this problem?!

  • mchellee__ M (@mchellee__) reported

    why is @outlook running so slow on safari!?

  • LuamCortez Luam Cortez (@LuamCortez) reported

    @Outlook How can the (free) OWA, behave better than the actual (paid) app? I'm sick that, in order to solve a simple problem, I'll need to execute Powershell commands.

  • THX1138_2014 WiffleWaffle (@THX1138_2014) reported

    @Outlook Where shall I start: 1. The "Focused Inbox" slider DOES NOT WORK! 2. IMAP accounts are totally and utterly BROKEN (sent mail sits in the Outbox for ever) 3. After a temp IMAP authentication issue WHY no simple RETRY option? Have to delete account and re-add. Utter crap.

  • j3e2020 sg (@j3e2020) reported

    @Outlook password reset and go to sign in and it still says password not recognised. Been trying for days to get this issue sorted with no luck!

  • eedwardpilcher Eric Pilcher (@eedwardpilcher) reported

    Y'all @Microsoft @Office @Outlook has the DEFAULT setting on emails is to "autocorrect" B) into 😎 No bullshit. I'm sure there's an easy fix that I won't bother to look up now (I'll revise my sentence, thanks) but I swear to god they are the #squirtgun in a #laserwar

  • XmasTeddy90 Teddy (@XmasTeddy90) reported

    Hey @Outlook, I think there's an issue with your Android app. I dismiss a calendar notification and a few minutes later is reappears on my phone.

  • snappzin Snappzin (@snappzin) reported

    Hey, @Outlook i would like to sign in on my account without taking this too long. I provided everything i know about the account. HELP PLEASE

  • noochtom Thomas Antonucci (@noochtom) reported

    @Outlook FIX OUTLOOK from your latest update. Everything possible on my computer is up-to-date and WAS working beautifully. Then i had to update Microsoft Office programs, which has made Outlook almost unusable its so slow. WHY did you change anything! FIX IT NOW

  • israldebruin Isral DeBruin (@israldebruin) reported

    Yo @Outlook -- your new Mac version is pretty great. however, when I open ICS files downloaded from the internet, Outlook opens them as an attachment to a new draft email (and not as a calendar item). Am I doing something wrong, or is this in need of a fix on your end?

  • biggestsonicfan SaltyFreeman (@biggestsonicfan) reported

    @Outlook Hi there! Are there any issues with account verification emails? Trying to get into an old hotmail account but I'm not receiving the emailed code. Text isn't an option since I don't have that number anymore. Thanks!

  • gloataclopolis Bruce Blackstone (@gloataclopolis) reported

    @Outlook Is there an outage in the Los Angeles area?

  • IanRElliot Ian Elliot (@IanRElliot) reported

    How do I shut an email address down completely @Outlook

  • stalinMMA En La Mira ... (@stalinMMA) reported from Quito, Provincia de Pichincha

    @Outlook No problem, but I would like to know if that is true or they want to hack my account. regards

  • mathoosala Mathoosala (@mathoosala) reported

    @Outlook are you having issues? I can receive but not send.
