    @Outlook Hi, alot of people in my tenant are experiencing trouble with their signature(It has disappeared and cant be added again) when using the web-version of outlook. There is a post on your forums about this but no official answer yet, do you guys know anything?

  • drizo72 Dimitris Rizopoulos (@drizo72) reported

    @TrayhopeR @jerrynixon @Outlook Some of us are heavily using outlook powerful plug-ins and custom views which UWP will never have. Also, if you think a win32 app is slow to load, think 10 times slower loading times for the UWP counterpart app. Switched to onenote win32 just for the faster loading time...

  • LarsNolmans Lars Nolmans (@LarsNolmans) reported

    @googlecalendar I share my calendar with a @outlook.com person, but they received no invite mail. No mails in the spambox. Is this a know issue? Do you have a workaround?

  • tulaydin Tülay (@tulaydin) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps Hello, I can't send or receive any e-mails to my @outlook.com.tr mail address for two days now. I've tried to send myself an e-mail from other services, but I am getting the error "550 No such recipient here." Can you please help?

  • AdamNDiamond Adam Diamond (@AdamNDiamond) reported

    @Afutami @Outlook Same issue, have tried uninstall, reinstall, downgrade outlook to older version- but stuck using web based. Bummer, but its on me for downloading beta lol.

  • dave_davidson21 dave davidson (@dave_davidson21) reported

    @Outlook please fix your outlook app. After puttings items in the bin they reappear the next time i open the app. Every single time. Its very, very annoying.

  • AdrianHofman Adrian Hofman (@AdrianHofman) reported

    Dear @Outlook - your web add-ins truly are a nightmare to deploy to clients. Every day there are reports that clients can't use our add-in due to some weird undocumented Outlook / Exchange versioning issue that makes it look like its our fault. Please just make it work!

  • lolo_avalon Lolo Avalon (@lolo_avalon) reported from Edmonton, Alberta

    @theoryofdeb @Outlook Sorry for the experience, It’s amazingly frustrating when you can’t access a old account,had same issue Appeal never worked, I got no response from the support, not until someone referred me to @cybertech_sec on TWITTER who assisted me to recover my account back..

  • Psychatog4 Psychatog (@Psychatog4) reported

    @Outlook I love the constant problems. Latest one was me making an *** of myself using the mail merge wizard. Send an unsavory email to my entire volunteer nonprofit. Lucky it wasn’t worse. Still no clue how your wizard managed to get me in that pickle. Horrible.

  • ocultado Ocultado (@ocultado) reported

    @Outlook Still an issue for me, but not sure it has a solution. In the To Do list calendar pane, I'd like to be able to hide "all day" events, and only see meetings with a start and end time. I still want to see the all day events in the calendar window.

  • 1sdee sdnoproblemz (@1sdee) reported

    @mih72_mark @Outlook If you need to regain access into your wrongfully disabled account or deleted account reach out to @cybertech_sec for guidance. He managed to turn around the same issue my mom was battling with

  • mfsmoney Moore Financial Service Group (@mfsmoney) reported

    @Outlook @chriskelly83 From what I can tell, @outlook there's a lot of us having the same issue. My keeps trying to open but constantly redirecting to itself...there's a glitch somewhere.

  • MrsHockridge Mrs. Hockridge (@MrsHockridge) reported

    When using the O365 @Outlook calendar, “all days events” that I have created for myself are now showing as spanning 2 days even though the start and end times are correct. Any ideas for how I may fix this?

  • Afutami Andhyta (@Afutami) reported

    Anyone else tried OSX Monterey (beta) and have their @Outlook crashing again and again? Tried uninstall-reinstalling to no avail obviously. Deleted the mail folder which helped for a second then broke down at a new incoming email. Any (even temporary) solutions yet?

  • TaskinOguzhan Oğuzhan Taşkın (@TaskinOguzhan) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook outlook(.)com(.)tr (.com is well tr extension) has a problem for smtp incoming. outgoing is working. Problem is not related to apps, server service?

  • Afutami Andhyta (@Afutami) reported

    @friRasyidi @Outlook Just a tiny issue: I did not have a time machine backup setup (stupid me).

  • quinoa_biryani সিদ্ধার্থ (Siddhartha) (@quinoa_biryani) reported

    Minor but very irritating problem: apparently multi-selection of emails with ctrl+cursor key+spacebar does not work in the latest version of MS-Outlook anymore and we have to use the mouse for it. What's the point of removing it, @Outlook?

  • robertdarell85_ Robert T (@robertdarell85_) reported

    @Outlook your products are trash & overkill…. Email shouldn’t be a issue for any1

  • ElizzRose Lizzie Rose (@ElizzRose) reported

    @davidproudx @Outlook I wasn’t able to fix it, it just managed to fix itself the next day. A little frustrating. Hopefully it won’t last long

  • OwenWGreen Owen (he/him) (@OwenWGreen) reported

    My @Outlook repeatedly disabling the @MicrosoftTeams add-in due to slow performance but being ok with Zoom seems bad.
