  • PaulKiem Paul Kiem (@PaulKiem) reported

    @Outlook @Outlook it appears to be working. That’s the frustrating part - it’s all a bit random. But, assuming this was written by a person, thanks for taking the trouble to get in touch.

  • hahajoyjoy hahajoyjoy (@hahajoyjoy) reported

    @Outlook when I double click on email to open, its not working. Desktop version seems to working now. Web version is not. #M365 #Microsoft

  • Burns_Mister C. Montgomery Burns (@Burns_Mister) reported

    @Outlook Why is there no option to view all inboxes at once when you have multiple email accounts in the windows outlook app? The iOS and macOS outlook apps have this function built in and easily accessible. Huge oversight. Please fix ASAP!

  • shantesh Shantesh Patil (@shantesh) reported

    @haja_mohaideen @Microsoft @Outlook I thought I was the only one facing this issue. FOr some reason even Outlook on the web takes ages to show the inbox

  • jyotish_13 JYOTISH ROY (@jyotish_13) reported

  • C_Goscinski Christopher G (@C_Goscinski) reported

    Did @Outlook for iPad remove drag-and-drop recently? Seems to be broken for me, even after a force quit.

  • arnav13 Arnav Mehta (@arnav13) reported

    @Outlook This is with reference to outlook mobile application on iPhone. It seems that I am one of the many who have been facing this issue. It will be helpful if @MicrosoftHelps or @Outlook could give us remedy measures/ timeline when this issue would be solved.

  • dhall785 david (@dhall785) reported

  • alanuloga Alan (@alanuloga) reported

    Man i'm so f'n annoyed by bad #tech and #microsoft has the worst tech IMHO. @Outlook @MicrosoftTeams pure garbage! Their uix and login process is stuck in 90's like the rest of the company; reason I'll never trust @Azure

  • _KateReynolds kate🕷 (@_KateReynolds) reported

    every time I unlock my account, it's locked again when I try to send an email. This is only happening to my business account? I've contacted @Outlook multiple times and the issue still hasn't been resolved. Really frustrating if you can't respond to emails when running a business

  • christodd10 Chris Anderson (@christodd10) reported

    @dbrinkmann @ITguySoCal @Outlook Backup worked flawlessly for me - though I was very nervous it would fail. What kills me, and the reason why everything isn’t in it, (1) cross device support is terrible and (2) multiple accounts be website is horrendous

  • rhi_anon Rhianon (@rhi_anon) reported

    For WEEKS I've been unable to click on a given day/time on @Outlook calendar to add events. The only way I can do it is by clicking "new event" and then changing all the date/time settings there. I've tried everything I can think of to fix this. Has anyone else seen/solved this?

  • Tiggerrr33 Kimberly Rumberg (@Tiggerrr33) reported

    @Outlook do you check dm’s regarding issues?

  • Candice0o1 Candice Clifford (@Candice0o1) reported

  • iDahele ਜਰਨੈਲ ਸਿੰਘ - Jarnail Singh (@iDahele) reported

    @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps I've been using #MicrosoftOutlook #Outlook 365 and only today I'm facing problem of opening any email in a new tab or window. When I double click on any email, it doesn't open unlike before. Is there any problem going on with Outlook 365?

  • JonMinhinnick Jon Minhinnick (@JonMinhinnick) reported

    @Outlook Yes I need assistance. I asked you a question, and your reply was “do you still need help”?? I suspect you can’t fix this; it’s a silly new UI that has not been properly thought out. O365, W11, fully updated.

    @Outlook I think there is a bug in android mobile application of Ms Outlook where the Inbox messeges get deleted everytime i pull down the page to refresh emails and resync. After happening first time , I did it twice again and all my inbox emails moved to bin.
