    @FJeelani @Outlook Are y'all aware of the issue in New Outlook for Mac 16.64+ where attachments aren't sent in S/MIME signed emails? Just told a couple hundred users to revert to Legacy Outlook to work around it.

  • MHartleyGD Molly Hartley (@MHartleyGD) reported

    @_shoesoff @Outlook Mine is exactly the same! Lots of emails with "-" (dashes) in them. I thought it was something I must have done but I'm kind of pleased someone else is having problems

  • SuperMugatu Dan McMurtrie (@SuperMugatu) reported

    @DavidTaggart @Outlook It’s outrageously terrible software

  • dream__thieves Queen of Thorns ⚔️ (@dream__thieves) reported

    So @Outlook allowed ads in their app and ever since I’ve gotten over a dozen spam emails in my INBOX (not junk!) every single day and so has my mom. Has anyone else had this problem?? I really don’t wanna pay to get rid of junk e-mail that THEY should be filtering!

  • Bamsday01 Gabriel Adedayo BAMISAYE (@Bamsday01) reported

    @WorkingatDuke @DukeOIT @Outlook My account is saying "Error....." Please what is the solution?

  • lawnmowerpranks Junk Knuckles (@lawnmowerpranks) reported

    Hey @Outlook I believe I'm experiencing an issue because for whatever reason now all I get is hate mail all day saying Dre fell off. What, just because he's been in his lab with a pen and a pad trying to get his damn label off?? I ain't havin' that.

  • danniegurl Danielle (@danniegurl) reported

    @Microsoft @Outlook Y’all…please fix the junk email again I’m getting 50+ spam and junk into my main inbox folder a day. Yes I haven’t changed settings. They’ve been set for over a decade and they do work when you have your net up. And this is happening on two separate accounts

  • robincapper Robin Capper (@robincapper) reported

    Why does @Outlook .com completely mangle contacts when editing them. Ended up back in the default Windows Mail People to fix contacts Outlook ruining. Cloned email addresses to empty 'mail' slots (eg work address cloned to home and other). Would not reflect name changes, a mess

  • Bamsday01 Gabriel Adedayo BAMISAYE (@Bamsday01) reported

  • iamonabeach -on a beach- (@iamonabeach) reported

    @Outlook @SkKershaw @outlook your twitter feed is full of users reporting this issue, so stop pointing users to this link. The problem is at your end, started a few days ago, so please own it and fix it.

  • dan_ai4gk Dan Fisher (@dan_ai4gk) reported

    @Outlook I read the link, and all that does is tell me how to do what I've been doing all along. The problem is in Outlook that suddenly decided not to print ONLY the Weekly Agenda Style.

  • benedejour virgin mary เฮอร์นานี (@benedejour) reported

    @Outlook @microengineer I have an issue, when will you reply me back? is there anyone working here???? to solve people problems?????

  • GY1Matt Matt (@GY1Matt) reported

    Hey @Outlook I still haven't forgotten about this issue of you providing false information about how to stop adverts on your e-mail service. I'm not going to go away until you reply. My next messages will be to @ICOnews & your CEO about this...

  • SkKershaw SK (@SkKershaw) reported

    @tavah316 @Outlook Don't bother. I've been round the houses with their customer support for days, they're no help. Literally thousands of people having this problem!

  • LokoCrazyJr CowbowSavy (@LokoCrazyJr) reported

    It would be nice if @Microsoft could fix the @Outlook app! These spam emails along with the scammer type of emails daily is really quite annoying!

  • maggiejo_12 Meg (@maggiejo_12) reported

    @Outlook how about you work AT ALL to prevent the 10+ phishing emails I get per day. I’ve had ZERO issue with @gmail !! Literally ZERO with them. I don’t even have to “report” emails there.

  • johnellison John Ellison💙 ♿️ 🇵🇸 🇺🇦🦉 SWFC Blues Guitarist (@johnellison) reported

    Sick to death of @Outlook Mail, seriously considering options now to improve reliability and solve access issues on iPhone

  • JDS20251957 1st Amendment (@JDS20251957) reported

    @Richyc89 @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps This isn't an issue to notify developers - clearly something broke recently in your system. The spam is comically simple to identify, what's going on?

  • dropthearrow Ryan (@dropthearrow) reported

    @Outlook Is there a problem with the spam filter? Over the last few days I've been getting hammered with spam. Blocking the domain names does not appear to be working. @MicrosoftHelps

  • utbdoug969 utbdoug (@utbdoug969) reported

    @Outlook Your spam filter is incredibly broken this week.. I've never had so much crap come into my inbox. Ever.

  • CamillaLatham30 Camilla Sally Louise Latham (@CamillaLatham30) reported

    Anyone else having issues with @Outlook I’m getting about 500 spam emails a day recently and it’s doing my head in.
