  • totitolvukall Thor (Þór) (@totitolvukall) reported

    The IMAP settings and problem diagnostics of @Outlook on Android could be a WHOLE lot better than they are. I'd almost go as far as declare them borderline unusable as they are.

  • STEVEN5579 Steven Nguyen (@STEVEN5579) reported

    @Outlook I have newly bought Microsoft Office Home and Business 2019. However Outlook has error. I contacted Microsoft but not yet got reply. Too bad service from Microsoft.

  • kramiuqal Mark Anthony Laqui (@kramiuqal) reported

    @Microsoft365 @Outlook Is outlook down?

  • fairlyinactive Icky (@fairlyinactive) reported

    @Outlook Hello how do I move all the read emails in my inbox into a folder in one go (desktop)? It's surprising that I can't simply drag and drop multiple selected emails, nor is there a visibile drop-down option to move to a folder, especially when you consider that it is 2021

  • Pxtl Martin Zarate (@Pxtl) reported

    Hey @Outlook , traditionally the way to let a user know that they're no longer sending/receiving email is to put up an error box or something, not just "need password" in the status bar. Like, if I'm sending an email, I expect it to send. If it's gonna sit in outbox, tell me.

  • shaerrphoto Shae Redding - Rogers (@shaerrphoto) reported

    @Zoom isn’t connecting to @Outlook . Is something down?

  • Vatzlav Vatzlav (@Vatzlav) reported

  • absentlive Absent (@absentlive) reported

    @Outlook how retarded is this mail app. Is there really no way to halt block spam and phishing mails... Nothing works you mailing service is Terrible and must be the worst inbox there is right now. Sort your **** out. ******* hell.

  • PaulGC84 Paul C (@PaulGC84) reported

    @Outlook are you still having issues with retrieving emails from IMAP accounts? The issue seemed to be fixed albeit temporarily. Now every few hours I’m being asked by the app to login to my IMAP account? Are you able to assist with this?

  • FrazerJ93 FJ 🚹 (@FrazerJ93) reported

    @Outlook Telling me now if I need help, sign in.. are you lot on a ******* wind up!!! Why I need help because YOU lot won’t let me sign in!!

  • EmmaBurlow Emma Burlow (@EmmaBurlow) reported

    IT Tweeps... when typing fast into outlook email I regularly get a glitch where outlook stops to set up a calendar invite. I'm guessing it's a shortcut or synch issue, but Google can't help, any ideas? #Outlook @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook

  • TheJoeFin Joe Finney (@TheJoeFin) reported

    Well. @outlook junk filter is broken again… why does this happen so often?

  • prof_goldberg Daniel Goldberg (@prof_goldberg) reported

    Come on @Outlook -- new Outlook for Mac has been out for a WHILE now. It's way past time y'all re-integrated basic Tasks back in to the program. I don't want to install and use a new app ("To-Do"). Fix it.

  • Siddharth_Gdwl Siddharth Bahuguna (@Siddharth_Gdwl) reported

  • youhaveanyco Jish Smoth (@youhaveanyco) reported

    @Outlook want to explain how I need to send a text to my phone to login but last night my account was logged into in 9 different countries and you didn't think that was suspicious or worth needing a code??

  • DaniChirinosP Daniela Chirinos P. (@DaniChirinosP) reported

    @Microsoft365 @Outlook Hi there :) is there something wrong with your server? Cant seem to attach a file to my emails

  • RobertGenito Robert Genito (@RobertGenito) reported

    I'm experimenting with using Outlook for email. Am I just ignorant on Outlook's searching capabilities, or is Outlook *really* unable to search for emails by email address throughout all of your mailboxes? Is Outlook *really* that terrible...? @Microsoft @Outlook #Halp

  • lofiNPRbeats Huge Fan of Cancel Culture (@lofiNPRbeats) reported

    @Outlook - whatever ******** you just did with that update, fix it

  • realDotNetDave David McCarter - Available for work June 7th! (@realDotNetDave) reported

    I don't know about you, but the font in the new @Outlook search box is so small, I can barely read it! Also, the my autocomplete of email addresses is broken too. :-(

  • Jak0b_S Jakob Schaefer (@Jak0b_S) reported

    Hey @Outlook Team and @MicrosoftHelps , now my tickets are closed the third time without any communication. How could this be possible, and how should I resolve my issue now?

  • AngieKuaile1 Angie kuaile-Filkins ®️™️♻️♥️🚂🗽 (@AngieKuaile1) reported

    @Microsoft @Outlook I keep getting emails for people other than myself!? There’s a problem! What do I need to do to get it fixed? @GovRonDeSantis for checks and balances

  • reesey333 Laressa Nordgren (@reesey333) reported

    @Outlook can you tell me why all of my junk emails are gone? This is not good as often I have at least 20% of my real emails going to my junk folder. They are nowhere. Please fix this because often when I sign up for something new the verification code goes straight to junk!

  • sazzacubz13 Sarah Cubitt (@sazzacubz13) reported

    Is anyone else having an issue with the outlook @Outlook website loading?

  • zanders Tony Zanders (@zanders) reported

    Now that I'm down to one work email address, I'm debating whether to subscribe to a paid email app like @Superhuman. Is the time saving from shortcuts a wash when considering how much time the free @Outlook app saves me by integrating calendar availability?

  • racheltaylor16 rachel taylor (@racheltaylor16) reported

    @TESTSITENUMBER1 @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps We are also having this problem, making things very difficult in our office!

  • DanV1989 Daniel Vass (@DanV1989) reported

    Cannot send any Emails @Outlook and Emails are not coming through either. Tried on my Phone and my Laptop. Having real trouble. Have you got a Server Fault?
