    The new @Office @Outlook for Mac is *still* not feature complete, and it still forces me to switch over periodically and then switch back. Stop forcing a ****** user experience down my throat!

  • SJCrossing SJ (@SJCrossing) reported

  • SetaxTC Setax Consultancy (@SetaxTC) reported

    @Outlook trying to communicate with someone regarding my issue. Going round in circles trying to access someone online. Kindly assist. Thank you

  • jake_uden Jake Uden (@jake_uden) reported

    Why does @Microsoft @Outlook want to watch the world burn down in chaos? Because that’s what the feel like is happening by the default iOS reply command being reply all instead of just reply.

  • devendra_S91 Devendra (@devendra_S91) reported

    @Outlook I was able to login back with same password and dual authentication, and changed the password too, just wanted to know if this login notification was legitimate and someone actually accessed my drive as well as account.

  • OrangeJuice6391 Orange Juice (@OrangeJuice6391) reported

    @DataChaz @LinkedIn @Outlook That's a very terrible idea. They are very explicit with their term of services don't share any sensitive personal information. An email is of course in the domain of sensitive information

  • CallowayCourtny Courtny Calloway (@CallowayCourtny) reported

    @Outlook I'm getting the same error message. what do you guys want me to do. let me know. I did go to the website you suggested, but it's all the same it didn't really help

  • _ely_reyes Ely (@_ely_reyes) reported

    @Outlook Are the servers down because my emails haven’t loaded since Wednesday, that’s 5 days.

  • RalphNe32269576 Ralph Nelson (@RalphNe32269576) reported

    @Outlook Why am I being asked to login to my emails? I've never had to login once in all the years I've been using it

  • pipton_panda Happy sandwich day (@pipton_panda) reported

    @LilyPinkBaker @Outlook Can you receive emails? I don't work for outlook but used to troubleshoot email errors at work lol

  • dan_gamblin Dan Gamblin (@dan_gamblin) reported

    Thanks @Outlook! I’m trying to gain access MY email address that was wrongly accessed and had control taken over. I can’t reset the password as the backup email server no longer exists and you’re asking me questions of an account taken over roughly 8 years ago!

  • artingleston Art Ingleston (@artingleston) reported

    @Outlook why is your Mobile customer service so horrible? My outlook for iOS has been down for a week and can’t get help.

  • ashokpanvalkar Ashok Panvalkar (@ashokpanvalkar) reported

    @Outlook @onedrive Can’t access One drive. All files missing. Is there any problem ?

  • MKE_JD JD (@MKE_JD) reported from Dallas, Texas

    How is it possible for @Outlook to be such a terrible email server?

  • itmeans_ilove jai: text message ghost writer. 🥀🇭🇹 (@itmeans_ilove) reported

    @Microsoft @Outlook PLEASE!!!!! for the love of all things, please!!!! Fix the delay delivered email timestamps. This is beyond annoying. It's counterintuitive to scheduling an email for delivery at a certain time for it to still be timestamped with the time it was saved not sent

  • JimmyVaqueiro Jimmy (@JimmyVaqueiro) reported

    @zenorocha Hi, congrats on your launch! Sending email is one of the pains I have in my statup. We currently use Sendgrid and have trouble sending emails to @hotmail.com and @outlook.com addresses; not because they arrive to the spam folder, but because they don't arrive at all.

  • hlwilson4 HL Wilson (@hlwilson4) reported

    1) Hey @Microsoft @Office @Outlook -- Why is it SO DIFFICULT for my 82 year old mom to get her email reset? A power outage knocked it offline and we're stuck in a never ending loop of frustration and poor service. #fail #PoorCustomerService

  • DZatakia Dhruv (@DZatakia) reported

    I'll give everyone who likes this tweet ₹1000 each if @Microsoft fixes Outlook search! @Outlook . It's just horrible since ages! Please fix it. But I bet they won't
