    @outlook how can we tell if our lack of external emails all day is related to an outage or an account problem? thanks

  • spamresource Al Iverson's Spam Resource (@spamresource) reported

    @KentMcGovern @Outlook We got that a few times too. They must think we're saying we just took over an IP block, which wasn't the case. I think we argued them down from that. So annoying!

  • ecsamanci Emir SAMANCI 🔴🇹🇷🇨🇭⚪️ (@ecsamanci) reported

    @Outlook You are really waste of time yet the best integrated tool. How come I can’t add an outlook e-mail account as alias to my existing MS account?! I get the error that the account already exists 🤯 Seriously?!! #Microsoft #Outlook

  • RusimbiPatrick Rusimbi Patrick (@RusimbiPatrick) reported

  • 7_stevewilliams Steve Williams (@7_stevewilliams) reported

    @Outlook no emails today - what’s the problem?

  • namesdemi Demi (@namesdemi) reported

    @Outlook you seriously need to fix your verification system. Why's it near impossible to get OTPs when I need them; when YOU need them??

  • Padua184 Padua Casanova (@Padua184) reported

  • shridharfly Shridhar R Kulkarni (@shridharfly) reported

    @Outlook Does it count if I have received 1 auto reply mail? It reads "I'm not available, trouble my boss instead".

  • joe_nug92 Joe Nugent (@joe_nug92) reported

    @Kazu2606 @Outlook That's so sad, i had similar issues, i contacted the support team but didn't get any response but lucky enough i met @ recovery_key0 on Instagram, he help me recover mine

  • ivanzlatev Ivan Zlatev (@ivanzlatev) reported

    . @Outlook @Office365 You should really fix the syncing of "subscribe from web" calendars. It's simply not acceptable in this day and age that it takes multiple hours for changes to come through and often it just stops syncing entirely...

  • RusimbiPatrick Rusimbi Patrick (@RusimbiPatrick) reported

    @Outlook is down.

  • rickespada Rick Espada 🇵🇷🤓 (@rickespada) reported

    Looks like the spam filters on @Outlook are broken again...

  • melvin__david Melvin David (@melvin__david) reported

    @arter97 I think @gmail notification push is broken. When I use @Outlook app, I receive all my notifications, including Gmail account's.

    Ayer @Microsoft @Outlook why does your **** NEVER work. I have to jump a billion hoops just to get my Xbox accounts to maybe work! Fix your damn issues

  • mssavalina Savannah (@mssavalina) reported

    @Outlook can yall make the interface little more user friendly like Gmail or something, the current is terrible and useless

  • C_C_Ioannou Christos Ioannou (@C_C_Ioannou) reported

    I've said it before on Twitter but it's time to say it again. @Outlook's junk filter is terrible. Emails from folks at the same institution via Sharepoint (also Microsoft) and replies to my emails gone straight to junk. Obvious crap let through. #worsethanrandom

  • fuckkoral koral (@fuckkoral) reported

    @af_00_ @ziggypowe @Outlook Did the server ever come back on for you guys? My servers down too

  • bigblether ross gillespie (@bigblether) reported

    Is it just me or are others having to repeatedly sign in to @Outlook on iPads and iPhones? It’s driving me nuts!

  • Chafri85 Charlotte Frimpomaa (@Chafri85) reported

    Hey @Outlook @Microsoft @Microsoft365 are there plans to fix Outlook so users can send calendar invites privately? My office have said we can't use Resources now as a workaround & we have a worse work around. Also, is 'Resources' use risky? Our Risk & IT said it's 'unsafe'. Thx

  • burkby Ron Perlman's chin (@burkby) reported

    @Outlook since 15.1 iOS the app freezes a lot and restarts on new iPhone 13 (and my old 11). Is this a known issue and are fixed coming?

  • TriScalpel Cara S. (@TriScalpel) reported

    I was so proud of myself for setting up my @karolinskainst email account yesterday - today I can’t sign in as I deleted @Microsoft app from my phone and am now going in circles with other @Outlook accounts. Am I the only millennial with such a poor grasp of tech? 🤯
