    @reednic @Outlook Exact same issue here. Eagerly waiting a new push that will fix this so I can access my mail and calendar

  • JGosnellNews Jackson Gosnell (@JGosnellNews) reported

    Hi @Outlook, there is an issue when someone types "thank you" where the email highlights the text in blue and then freezes and the email/page becomes unresponsive. You should fix this.

  • JoelGeller Joel Geller (@JoelGeller) reported

    @Outlook @johncolucci Exact Same issue here

  • johncolucci John Colucci (@johncolucci) reported

    @Outlook Also when I’ve tried to toggle it on/off (Thread) to trick it, it just freezes to the point in which if I reopen the app, restart the device (both iPad/iPhone), it crashes and I have no choice but to delete/reinstall, which also does not solve the issue.

    @Outlook down....

  • SiddhantHira 🇺🇦 Siddhant Hira🌻 (@SiddhantHira) reported

    For my second @Outlook piece: "The dissonance between #India and the #US about the F-16 deal with #Pakistan could certainly become a point of discontent but both powers understand well that their relationship is far from being dependent on the outcome of such issues alone."

  • bradley_qc Bradley Martin KC (@bradley_qc) reported

    @reednic @Outlook Same here. Time estimate for fix please @Outlook?

  • jw_light Jesse Light 👌👌👌 (@jw_light) reported

    @Outlook @Outlook when is the fix coming? At the very least you should rollback the update!

  • oby_uno mark o'brien (@oby_uno) reported from Rockingham, State of Western Australia

    Hey @Outlook what’s the ETA on a fix for the crashing iOS app? If it’s not soon, I’m going to need to invest in a decent alternative. This is taking too long for a critical app.

  • metanoia_r Agripino (@metanoia_r) reported

    @Outlook Problems with massive spam e-mails of IA origin arriving in spam folder. I have reported it as phishing and also blocked senders but more and more spam e-mails keep arriving. Do you have a more severe tool to stop these e-mails from arriving?

  • JGVOICE John Goldsmith (@JGVOICE) reported

    @Outlook - Update 4.2238.1 for iOS (iPadOS 15.7) does not fix crash. Updated yesterday, turned off “show messages in threads”, all ok yesterday, but after restart today the app has reverted to showing msgs in threads although setting shows it as off. 1of2 …

  • PriteshHindocha Pritesh Hindocha (@PriteshHindocha) reported

    @Outlook app crashing after the latest iOS update. Cannot get into emails and I’m on the road travelling! Need this sorted now as I’ve seen many others complain of the same issue!

  • MariusSkovli Marius A. Skovli | #MVP (@MariusSkovli) reported

    What’s up @Outlook? I am having a strange problem with my MacBook Pro M1 Max. Sometimes, I get emails with what seems like greek as the display language. When hitting reply, it changes to the correct terminology—I tried reinstalling. Using M365 Apps from #MEM #Intune. Any idea?

  • ComplaintBox12 Complaint Box (@ComplaintBox12) reported

    @Outlook Any update on this? Issue still persist after last night app update. For me it only on iPhone SE devices.

  • leonlalieu Léon Lalieu (@leonlalieu) reported

    Unfortunately still no fix. @Outlook can you give an estimate?

  • leonlalieu Léon Lalieu (@leonlalieu) reported

    Version 4.2238.2 did solve the problem. Thank you @Outlook

    @Outlook @johncolucci Same issue here

  • jackmstrader Jack Strader (@jackmstrader) reported

    @Outlook I attempted to change my organize by thread settings on my iOS outlook app and now it is constantly crashing. I notice this is a widespread problem do we have a workaround or an ETA on a fix?

  • JoelGeller Joel Geller (@JoelGeller) reported

    @reednic @Outlook At least push out a hot fix that will reverse the organize by thread so we can access the app!!!!!

  • Emrikol07 Norman (@Emrikol07) reported

    @Outlook The new web ui is total crap, please change it back. When trying to send an email I am constantly getting an error message "this message can't be sent because at least one recipient isn't valid". This is because the intellisense on the To line is broken.

  • miztoumoumou 🤬 (@miztoumoumou) reported

    @gmail is the email version of a landline. It locks you out every time you try and log on using someone else's internet. ******* locked me out at a printing service where I needed important documents. Thank God I remembered my @Outlook login info. 1/2
