    why is @Outlook no longer working on macs, is it a glitch or a more permanent thing?

  • tbatikdesign Todd (@tbatikdesign) reported from Clermont, Florida

    @Outlook when I send and email in the New Outlook for Mac, it deletes my attachments every time. Is there a fix for this? I had to switch back to old outlook to send my email. I’m a designer and this is not gonna work if I can’t send proofs to my clients.

  • serlevgre Sergio Leventhal (@serlevgre) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps can you tell me if @Outlook is down or is it just my company?

  • casadichiese Church (@casadichiese) reported

    @Outlook you are crashing on all of my devices. Phone, laptop, iPad. I just sent a long client email and it did not send and not in drafts. Now I can’t even open outlook. It just crashes every time. I did my best to error test, but it’s on all devices. Not a great way to start 21

  • mih72_mark Mark (@mih72_mark) reported

    @Outlook any chance of sorting it out of me being locked out of my account? Either that or issue me a refund on everything I've lost. Games, gig tickets, also you can get in touch with building regulations as there's a important email in there from them.

  • jagokdu JAG (@jagokdu) reported

    @Outlook why does hotmail require new login ?

  • alonbrown Alon Brown (@alonbrown) reported

    @tbatikdesign @Outlook Thanks for trying the new Outlook! What you describe does not sound like a known issue. Please reproduce the issue and then select "Contact Support" from the Help menu so that we can investigate further.

  • ElaineOnBass 🍁 𝐸𝓁𝒶𝒾𝓃𝑒 𝒪𝓃 𝐵𝒶𝓈𝓈 ✞Ⓥ♫ (@ElaineOnBass) reported

    .@MicrosoftHelps @Outlook Just made a new account yesterday, and even though I only have 1 alias email address, it won't let me add another. Error message: "We limit how frequently you can add aliases to your account. Please try again later."! Please HELP?!😐

  • humxcho Humaira (@humxcho) reported

    @ellerush1 @Outlook Hi darling sorry for the very slow reply and thanks for your help. I tried this but it didn’t work so I had no choice but to create a new one. Thank you for trying though!

  • AmazingMagic Andrew Michals (@AmazingMagic) reported

    @Outlook Hi, very shocked at the lack of support from your in app support team. They would only copy/ paste a general “we cannot help” reply and wouldn’t explain why they claim my question is not an app issue. Error happens within the app and has to do with it. @OfficeSupport

  • vigneshsridhar Vignesh Sridhar (@vigneshsridhar) reported from Fremont, California

    @SlackHQ might be down but @zoom_us @Outlook is not, move on guys! #ManagerMindset

  • aprilgracebon April Grace (@aprilgracebon) reported

  • MSpevakNJ Marshall Spevak (@MSpevakNJ) reported

    Both @SlackHQ & @Outlook down today. What a way to start work in 2021.

  • authorjessicadt authorjessicadarlene (@authorjessicadt) reported from Eton, Georgia

    @Outlook is there a tech support number? Crazy to think I have to jump through so many hoops just to be able to take to a person about a issue with your product.

  • irl allisonb (@irl) reported

  • serlevgre Sergio Leventhal (@serlevgre) reported

  • LiveInHothAK 0°BikeAK (@LiveInHothAK) reported

    IT people: my android @Outlook won't refresh when I am at home on wifi. I turn off my phones wifi and then it refreshes. No problems with Gmail or any other apps. Suggestions?

  • andymci Andy McIlwain 🇨🇦 (@andymci) reported

    @theSamParr Engh. I dig the intent behind this — domain != a business — but what’s that first impression when you’re running off a free subdomain and @gmail or @outlook email address? Grabbing a domain for $20 isn’t the issue. It’s the constant false starts. IMO.
