    Hmm… @Outlook tango down?! 🤨

  • tanstech Tanswell Technology (@tanstech) reported

    @Outlook seeing serious issues with Outlook this week across multiple tenants and clients. Seems to be the Cloud Signature update corrupting OSTs along with many other performance and reliability issues. This can't be coincidence. What's going on?

  • JFredBeck2 Denver is unverefiably too damn high (@JFredBeck2) reported

    @ryanyates1990 @Outlook If they could just turn the clock back 20 years and fix new email notification badges I would be thrilled. Same goes for teams chat.

  • sujaydutta Sujay Dutta (@sujaydutta) reported

    @Outlook What would it take to add the ability to set Automatic replies (OOO messages) right from the mobile app itself. Why do we have to login to the desktop app for that?

  • SammyJankisCPA Saka Soufflé? (@SammyJankisCPA) reported

    @Outlook your junk settings are not working anymore. All my junk emails are coming through my inbox and I have to keep manually reporting the junk emails. This is annoying.

  • guymoise4 Guy M. (@guymoise4) reported

    @Outlook @PippoZanetti86 Hello, I tried with different browsers(chrome firefox palemoon) and different OS(mac linux Win), the issue is on your side.

  • PurplePlayEnt Youri (@PurplePlayEnt) reported

  • jesuissamii s (@jesuissamii) reported

    @Outlook how can I *speak to someone* about an issue with my email? It’s deleted all my emails. I can see the 80,000 emails in the deleted items folder but there’s no restore button at the top. Please help ASAP. Your FAQ pages are not helping. Please contact me.

  • wolvykasu wolvykasu (@wolvykasu) reported

    @DrRapshody @Outlook last night I was having this problem too but thank god I'm not alone now that people are now awake and trying to do stuff.

  • pburland Paul Burland (@pburland) reported

    @Outlook Hi, any issues today. All three of my App based instances of Outlook not syncing (2x Android and 1x Win10 client app). Web access via browser is ok.

  • soxxylady Sharon 🦋 (@soxxylady) reported

    @Dappa_94 @Outlook It’s outlook itself, I’ve tried everything to get it sorted and you just distract the people complaining to useless solutions what do nothing. Worse server in the world, this has been happening for months

  • Citizener Julien C. (@Citizener) reported

    @Outlook @Waizerrr The same happens to me and it seems it’s the case for more and more people. No problem with the iOS application though.

  • ochostrike Rich ⏱️ (@ochostrike) reported

    Please for the love of God let us disable Viva Insights in @Outlook @satyanadella - it's AWFUL. Stop forcing this terrible artificial stupidity on us!!!! @Microsoft365 #UX

  • Linda_Albe4 Linda Albertson (@Linda_Albe4) reported

    @sab_ba1 @Outlook I also had an issue like that last week but i was able to recover my account because someone refered me to julia_codingdev on instagram who got my account for me within 30 minutes

  • Findrew2 Findrew (@Findrew2) reported

  • Bobby400268i1 finger_lickn_good (@Bobby400268i1) reported

    @Outlook has there been an issue over the past week with #Hotmail accounts? I’d sent several email with hotmail but when I checked today they wer nowhere to be found? 🤔

  • sphinx568 Reese (@sphinx568) reported

    It is fun that @Outlook sends emails from recipients in my contacts and emails from themselves about suspicious login activity to the spam folder, but allows actual spam in my focused inbox.

  • SaraUpstone Sara Upstone (@SaraUpstone) reported

    @Outlook Working today and suddenly the design of my laptop Outlook 365 app changed. I have sensory processing issues and have literal migraine caused by how visually different it now is. It's not the layout and view options don't help, its the design of the icons. What can I do?

  • wsbeck wendy beck (@wsbeck) reported

    @Outlook Is Outlook down? Can't get it to come up this morning in San Francisco. Everything else works.

  • DrRapshody Dr.Rapshody (@DrRapshody) reported

    @Outlook could you PLZ fix the error 500 ffs?

  • hearthisuk Hear This (@hearthisuk) reported

    Hi @Outlook - it really is a shame we couldn’t work out my email issue by the end of this year. I saw some really healthy growth patterns from July - Sept. Dare I say too healthy. Then my email rate slowed down and became more suspiciously ‘controlled’. (1/2)
