  • gamergeeksnz Gamers Geek NZ (@gamergeeksnz) reported

    OMG I've been looking into this #uceprotect thing and it's so broken, they often nuke entire data centres (i'm guessing for the blackmail protection money). @Outlook and #hotmail is so broken by using uceprotect in it's current fashion, seriously all move to @gmail

  • irvinbalagosa Irvin Balagosa (@irvinbalagosa) reported

    @jfdwolff @Outlook Removee from my outlook as it asks me everytime I login. Decided it will stay in my browser from now in instead. 😔😔😔

  • Scott_Helme Scott Helme (@Scott_Helme) reported

    @SimonZerafa @TryGhost @Outlook The problem is I want to push the new subscribe feature but not if it isn't going to work for a bunch of people :(

  • ConfigDude Andrew Berges (@ConfigDude) reported

    Two things that cannot be achieved in this world: dividing by zero and completely shutting down the @Outlook.exe process without reboot.

  • paulcourt101 Paul (aka Gargoyle) (@paulcourt101) reported

    @Scott_Helme @TryGhost @Outlook Ran into a similar problem a few years ago with some single-use links that were emailed out to users. I think we ended up blacklisting a handful of user agents like sendgrid, hotmail link parser, mailchimp, etc.

  • jeffreykalvass Jeffrey Kalvass (@jeffreykalvass) reported

    @swersey @Outlook @OfficeInsider I cannot reproduce this issue — does it happen when pasting from a certain app? I’ll also track down your support request

  • Kermit_Moh Kermit (@Kermit_Moh) reported

    @Outlook I just created a new account. I am getting an error saying I can read my email. How do I fix this?

  • monicaamelia Monica W. Stafford (@monicaamelia) reported

    @Outlook seems to be down- wondering how how widespread and if any updates?

  • nessundorma214 Ashley Jones (@nessundorma214) reported

    Gonna flip some tables on @Outlook. User error perhaps, but who the heck *intends* to reply to just themselves in an email? Just send an email to the person that I am clearly trying to communicate with ffs. Gmail figured it out, just saying. #Outlook

  • VojtaHejl Vojta Hejl (@VojtaHejl) reported

    @Outlook hello, trying to contact the helpdesk with no response - my account on the iOS (IMAP) doesnt show notifications even everything is turn on. Exchange account works with no problem. Any updates of the app? Thanks!

  • BradPrick Brad Prick (@BradPrick) reported

    @Outlook Please. Fix your iOS app badges. Broken for 3 years. They dont update unless you open the app, making quick actions (3D touch/long press) USELESS.

  • sunraysandstuff 他妈的 (@sunraysandstuff) reported

    @Outlook @SuperEbza slow day at the office huh?

  • shaerrphoto Shae Redding - Rogers (@shaerrphoto) reported

    Is anyone else having trouble with @evernote 🔌 @Outlook?

  • AaronMLB Aaron Brown (@AaronMLB) reported

    @Outlook Why does Outlook Android endlessly want me to sign in to Outlook for Business, which I don't have and haven't set up, but just flashes open Authenticator (already signed in) then returns to Outlook and alerts again? 2FA/MFA is terrible.

  • Mr_CPettit Mr_CPettit (@Mr_CPettit) reported

    @Outlook - the new iOS update has led to outlook crashing the moment it opens. From Twitter it looks like this is happening to others....I have an iPhone XR. A quick fix would be great as it’s impacting work.

  • Kazzan Petr Vlk (@Kazzan) reported from Prague, Hlavní město Praha

    Hi @MicrosoftTeams, will you allow report issue with @Outlook when setup as default mail app or still relying on system account on iOS?

  • alonbrown Alon Brown (@alonbrown) reported

    @mha1der @THEKyleMoffatt @Outlook Hrmph. I'm out of ideas then. Please reproduce the issue and then choose Contact Support from the Help menu so that we can learn more about what's happening in your case.

  • Honeysblood honeysblood (@Honeysblood) reported

    @Hungry_Romantic @Outlook That's okay! I know what it's like to have a billion emails, best of luck with cutting them down. Sx

  • sunraysandstuff 他妈的 (@sunraysandstuff) reported

    @Outlook slow day at the office huh?

  • SimonZerafa Simon Zerafa (@SimonZerafa) reported from Haverfordwest, Wales

    @Scott_Helme @TryGhost @Outlook Sure. However if that 'fixes' the issue then perhaps there is some way that the Outlook backend could mitigate the problem?

  • m_in_m Martin Chapman (@m_in_m) reported

    @Scott_Helme @Outlook @Ghost It sounds like you might get a similar issue witj anyone using Mimecast if the links are valid once only.

  • wizlon67 Rob (@wizlon67) reported

    @Outlook Hi there, just wondering if any one can help me with an email issue. I need to send a email , in this mail I need to send 6 other emails . Rather than individually forwarding them, is it possible to send them in one covering email as attachments?

  • lynngr Lynn Greiner (@lynngr) reported

    @msonenote @Outlook Must try it. But can you explain why my MS 365 OneNote tells me to sign in to sync my notebook when I'm clearly already signed in? Is it losing its little electronic mind?

  • JodieStafford18 Jodie Stafford (@JodieStafford18) reported

    @Outlook HELP!!! Hi I need to recover a really old email address the recovery form is not working for me please help! HELP

  • space_hey SpaceHey (@space_hey) reported

    @MayorOfEarth @AnTheMaker @Outlook This should've been only a temporary glitch back then! If you want, you can change your email address in your Account settings now!

  • aaraaz Araz (@aaraaz) reported

    Dear @Outlook team - whatever fancy spam filter algorithm you have implemented is not working. Perfectly legit #emails with proper auth from reputable providers are randomly ending up in #spam. Your support team is not equipped to provide an answer. Not good! It is 2021, come on!
