Outlook.com Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • smellmycheese Jenny (@smellmycheese) reported from Hackney, England

    Seeing the office manager barely and repeatedly suppress a scream being asked why Outlook isn't working, after informing colleagues the internet is down to the building which includes affecting emails, is proving to be the unexpected comedy highlight of the morning

  • DocDwivedi Satyam Dwivedi (@DocDwivedi) reported from New Delhi, National Capital Territory of Delhi

    @poonamkhatri What a terrible outlook. I'm outraged

  • Tian_1986 🇪🇺 Tiano 🇬🇧 (@Tian_1986) reported from Kensington, England

    @benhabib6 Ben, markets react to information. If the outlook for the economy looks bad currency is hit. This isn't a pr issue. This is a global reality of a awful idea with no plan meeting the worst government the country has seen.

  • StainsOfaSunflw Stains of a Sunflower (@StainsOfaSunflw) reported from Los Angeles, California

    Take a seat, Neil. If this is your outlook, you have no ******* idea what loss truly is. Just shut up and sit down. For someone as intelligent as you’ve proven and seem to be, this is one of the more idiotic comparisons I’ve ever read.

  • tvmisshelenp helen pritchard (@tvmisshelenp) reported from Borough of Torbay, England

    Plastic bag hating, leftie green, ******* looking lucas is so toxic and negative in Boris ability and so down in outlook for UK. How much are the EU paying her.

  • pugh_brian Brian Pugh (@pugh_brian) reported from Dudley, England

    @deanopgh I just like to show some of them the error in their outlook on other clubs 🤣. They aint all bad tho 👍

  • hTmlR00lzz John Freeman (@hTmlR00lzz) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @Microsoft and Xbox Live appear to be having some sign in issues 😭 Was finally ready to sit down and play some more Red Dead 2 @XboxSupport @xboxuk @Xbox @Office365 @Outlook

  • Genxa Henry Genxa Sham (@Genxa) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    [****] time! #**** Conducted a group assessment yesterday, part of it included sitting candidates down at a PC to write a report. They then email the report from Outlook to me. I sit behind them to make sure there’s no cheating etc.

  • ha66ie Paul Haggie (@ha66ie) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @Outlook since your android update your app is unusable. White screen which then crashes. You need to fix the bugs.

  • harriekd harrie “glorious being of light and miracles” kd (@harriekd) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    @Lulu4Ukon @Avi_Bueno the problem is that they’re not doing a bad job of getting to their goals, making mueller seem flustered and viewers feel confused. they may well make themselves look bad, but they’re muddying the waters quite efficiently and viewers disposed to their outlook will buy that

  • LittleLydia14 Lydia Titterington (@LittleLydia14) reported from Manchester, England

    @masood_619_ @ShamaJunejo @Outlook @Microsoft Maybe I was just happy to let everyone know about the issue

  • HaskettsHSC Melinda Haskett (@HaskettsHSC) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @SSPPrincipal Outlook went down a few times today *chaos

  • anchorgalEDU 𝙵𝚊𝚛𝚊 𝚃. 𝙵𝚊𝚞𝚜𝚝 ⚓️ (@anchorgalEDU) reported from Suffolk, Virginia

    @GPattie @TechWithParson Yeah, that’s the problem. I need someway to update Outlook to Google.

  • hTmlR00lzz John Freeman (@hTmlR00lzz) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @Microsoft appear to be having some sign in issues 😭 Was finally ready to sit down and play some more Red Dead 2 @XboxSupport @xboxuk @Xbox @Office365 @Outlook

  • TheDasKaput The Das Kaput (@TheDasKaput) reported from Fountain Hill, Pennsylvania

    Outlook for Android is down. 2nd time since yesterday. i uninstalled and reinstalled earlier this morning, and it briefly worked. but it's dead again #outlookdown

  • mikebaz Michael C. "Head in the Clouds" Bazarewsky (@mikebaz) reported from Elyria, Ohio

    @ftp_alun @Outlook This happens to me as well, and I believe that whenever anything goes wrong with an IMAP call, the app just assumes it is a password issue and makes you re-enter credentials. It's really dumb in that way.

  • colleb95 Bree 😘 (@colleb95) reported from Kingman, Arizona

    Colleb95 is the 1st 5 letters ify maiden name and Caitlin's birth year. My Bibliophile sign in was colleb and I added the 95 to create my Hotmail address account. Which still has the original 4 digit password.

  • jcrossland Jonathan Crossland 🇿🇦 🇬🇧 (@jcrossland) reported from Cape Town, Western Cape

    @Office outlook is broken. The android outlook version issued on 26th loading with black screen and unusable, non responsive. Im running note8.

  • millerkevinc Kevin C. Miller, MPA (@millerkevinc) reported from San Francisco, California

    Ughhh, FML coding issues with SharePoint links being shared via Outlook. I knew there would be some pain points but troubleshooting this just plain sucks.

  • DutroBen Arthur Digby Sellers (@DutroBen) reported from Carmichael, California

    @BrandonDonkey @AndrewYang As soon as people believe the Yang message, they stop trying to adapt and start expecting someone else to fix their employment outlook which doesn't help anyone, taxpayers or the unemployed. If Yang really wants to help, bring Mike Rowe on his team and start a real dialogue.

  • LittleLydia14 Lydia Titterington (@LittleLydia14) reported from Manchester, England

    @masood_619_ @ShamaJunejo @Outlook @Microsoft No problem I like to help people out when it comes to there Technology or emails

  • iB3nji Ben (@iB3nji) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @Priest @timothy_89 @guardian That comparison is so terrible I’m not going to even bother continuing this. If you ever go through what I had to go through I feel you’d have a very different outlook. Kids & cigarettes are not the same lmao.

  • JohnnieDeath ❌ Johnny Death ❌ (@JohnnieDeath) reported from Clinton Township, Michigan

    @PamKeithFL Unlike you, who lumps a whole group of people into a negative category because your mental acumen is such that it simplifies the focus of your prejudiced outlook on the situation. A mind is a terrible thing to waste, even when it’s overwhelmed, impaired, & incapacitated by bias.

  • StardustHelas Ela: Love and Thunder (@StardustHelas) reported from University Park, Florida

    They got my laptop so they can work on it... the first thing they call and ask me.... is for the password for my outlook account.... which is exactly the issue I’m having... and why I sent it in in the first place....

  • gary_priestley Gary Priestley (@gary_priestley) reported from Borough of Torbay, England

    @Euroboy8t4 ok all members with hotmail seem to have problems getting group emails I'll send it again as a single email see if you get it

  • ZoGLOw Z o W i E (@ZoGLOw) reported from Los Angeles, California

    We are living in some f’d up times. Crazy shit is going down all around. Makes me so sad, angry & worried about the future. Trying to keep a positive outlook is very difficult when some things don’t make sense at all. Take care yourselves & each other. 💖

  • Clustermvp Robert Smit (@Clustermvp) reported from Enschede, Provincie Overijssel

    @DarrylvdPeijl Using multiple accounts in #teams is a pain. but the biggest issue is meetings in a single window. Can't use teams then the meeting window is gone. In s4b multiple windows not stuck to one. And how to add a teams or S4B meeting with outlook web. #Office365

  • dhgate_ david (@dhgate_) reported from Adelaide, State of South Australia

    microsoft outlook really has the most broken search functionality like i truly have had enough of it all!

  • CManwaniPottery Claire Manwani (@CManwaniPottery) reported from Reading, England
