• Ph. D. Jérémie Melchior #SurfaceDuo (@jaymelbe) reported 7 minutes ago

  @windowsinsider some news... had the same issue in Android. Seems like it is because of @Outlook .. had to disable administrative rights from Outlook because it was preventing me from setting a high than 5 min timeout for the screen. Any idea how to disable that on Windows now?

• Jane Day (@janedaymusic) reported 10 minutes ago

  why i hate @Outlook email: it is EXCRUCIATINGLY slow and glitchy. it is not nice to look at nor does the layout even make sense. WHY DOES IT AUTOMATICALLY DELETE AN EMAIL THAT I RSVP TO? I STILL NEED THE ******* EMAIL TO GIVE ME INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE MEETING

• Amy Hambrook (@AmyHambrook) reported 16 minutes ago

  @Outlook I have created rules for emails from people that are moved to a folder. Problem is, I don't receive email notifications for these folders. I can't find anything in the rules to add a notification. Can you help?

  @NervousEquivlnt @Outlook I have the same problem...

• ngrahamdg (@NervousEquivlnt) reported 20 minutes ago

  @RyanBorn @Outlook They did respond and say it’s a known issue that they are working on. That was about 2.5 hrs ago. BTW deleting and adding your account back is evidently a temporary fix, the users who tried it said the issue returned after an hour or so

• Kim Johnson (@Alfonsiawarrior) reported 22 minutes ago

  @Outlook - can s.o. help! i am always apologising to suppliers + internal colleagues because Outlook never notifies/emails don't pop up when I'm in another folder. its mad i say it a couple times a day! "i am so sorry there's an error w Outlook & i only just noticed ur email!😠

  @Outlook I'm trying to create an email account but every time I do it says there is a temporary problem

• khalid.Q (@k_lemona) reported 24 minutes ago

  @Outlook I lost my account after I moved from USA to Saudi and lost my phone.When I tried to sign in I have to have the code which is sent to my old phone number. Now I can’t use it and when I tried to recover it it’s too hard for me to remember that much information. I need help

• Andrew Connell (@andrewconnell) reported 30 minutes ago

  @gavinbarron I did... a few years ago. The switch wasn't bad... I picked @outlook.com address & it mostly works. But way too often, #MicrosoftIdentity & @AzureAD get confused even when I signin with that MSA, it shows my old email, confusing me with my AAD account.

• Jo (@yusepbcn) reported 32 minutes ago

  @Outlook Hi there. It seems it was some short outage on your side. After few minutes it came back. Maybe i tried to access in the middle of some deployment.. :) thanks.

• Coach Cala (@SebastianCala) reported 36 minutes ago

  @Outlook Hi... I'm having problems with my accounts...I receive notifications to restart my session in Outlook and Gmail... I had to change my password but it's not working again... Is this a temporary problem or the security of my account might be in danger? Thank you

• Reece Redding (@ReeceRedding2) reported 36 minutes ago

  @Outlook Hi I cannot access my email as it keeps asking me to verify but only has my old number and another email which has the same issue too, I have tried to recover but the automated system won’t let me, can you please help as I have a lot of important emails I need to access

• ngrahamdg (@NervousEquivlnt) reported 37 minutes ago

  @RyanBorn @Outlook Good to know it's not just us. Deleting the mail account from Outlook and adding it back has fixed it for a couple of people, hopefully MS can fix it on the backend though. Opened a ticket with MS Support, waiting on a response.

• nitin bansal (@nitinbansal21) reported 37 minutes ago

  @Outlook Hello Outlook Support your new version is not working. Sent emails were not getting out. Got to know that two days later. Switched to the old design immediately. Please roll back the new version. I am using MacBook Pro Big Sur 11.2.2 Release it when it is properly tested
