    @Outlook I have tried all of these (I’ve had the issue before) nothing helped. I have noticed some emails have gone straight into my deleted items, unread. Is this a known issue?

  • r_gossy MrG (@r_gossy) reported

    @Outlook I am experiencing the same problem as many others. Emails not reaching my hotmail account from people I’ve received emails from in the past. Done all the tier one stuff already & don’t ask me for the IP address of the people sending the message - I have no idea. HELP!

  • alonbrown Alon Brown (@alonbrown) reported

    @macfixer @Outlook It wasn't, but it is now - a new build with the fix is available. Try updating to the latest, hopefully that'll get you going again. (This all assumes you're in the beta channel, which is where both the bug that I'm guessing you saw and the fix occurred.)

    @Edison_apps Been using the app for years on iPhone, iPad & Mac, could never make it the only email app because of an issue with replying to messages from WordPress websites; always replies to myself even though “Reply to” is specified. Doesn’t happen with @Outlook, @SparkMailApp

  • alonbrown Alon Brown (@alonbrown) reported

    @stjeandenise @Outlook Thanks for trying the new Outlook! The message should be in drafts. Please report the issue through Contact Support on the Help menu so we can figure out what's going on.

  • wilhil William Hilsum (@wilhil) reported

    Anyone know why @Outlook "view on server" is disabled on shared mailboxes? Found articles stating known issue in 2016, but, surely it can't still be broken? I Need to download hundreds of old attachments across folders and OWA is painfully slow. 1/2
