    @Outlook hello, i can't login to the e-mail I am using. The problem I got while doing it was that such an account could not be found. When I try to set up a new account with the same mail, it says there is already such an account. Could you help

  • csorleydc csorleydc (@csorleydc) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook when are you going to fix your spam filters? I'm sick of seeing **** from ACE Hardware and other clearly fake email addresses

  • HannahHeartss Hannah🧣 (@HannahHeartss) reported

    @Outlook Hi! My emails have a serious delay issue with receiving emails, both on the website and the mobile app? It can take 3-6 hours sometimes to receive an email? Is there any way to fix this? Thank you.

  • 5PriscillaKing Priscilla King (@5PriscillaKing) reported

    I think the problem is that @Outlook relies on smear-and-click rather than having clear, precise keyboard commands. That itsy-bitsy slider next to the nasty grabby ad panel? Duh.

    @Outlook @Microsoft When I try to import my work email (G Suite - over 100 GB) into outlook, I get an error message and nothing is displayed on Outlook! Is Outlook not designed to work with large size emails?

  • simplex_fx Balázs Simplex Óvári (@simplex_fx) reported

    Dear @Outlook Could you please NOT suck, with multi acc+VPN? Annoying that if I'm not connected to corp vpn/exchange server, I couldn't set rules for other acc. If using multiple profiles, I don't get my calendar notif, and stuff from the offline company acc.

    @Outlook hey bestie, can you guys fix the search function? It’s killing me at work. I have emails that I know are in my inbox but no matter the search terms, it won’t bring them up. This has been a problem for a long time. I am begging.

  • JeremiahJayven Jeremiah Jayven (@JeremiahJayven) reported

    @Outlook fix your ******* app. It's glicthing out and I can't even use it.

  • dionnekitching Dionne Kitching 🖍✂️ (@dionnekitching) reported

    Er, @Outlook isn't letting me send any emails, I keep getting an error message: 'We've noticed some unusual activity in your Outlook account. To help protect you, we've temporarily blocked it. Please verify your account' but the link to verify isn't working. Anyone else had this?

  • ComplianceClar1 ComplianceClarity (@ComplianceClar1) reported

    @RMGirlUK @Outlook Most pointless feature out as those that have already read it have read it. The best feature anyone can enable is the delay sending by x minutes feature .. opt for 2... then all sit in your outbox until then .. send errors.. nail the offending item and delete it ... tidy..

  • kevfquinn Kevin F. Quinn 🌻 (@kevfquinn) reported

    Lol - just had junk email from 'moneysaver@outlook' - when trying to add to junk senders, @Outlook throws an error saying that email address is invalid. So folks, if you want to evade Outlook's junk filter...

  • TottempudiGagan Gagan Tottempudi (@TottempudiGagan) reported from New Delhi, National Capital Territory of Delhi

    @Outlook why your interface has become so slow today.

  • WilliamBay William Bay (@WilliamBay) reported

    Dear @Microsoft please stop shoving the new @Outlook down my throat. -Old UI is far superior. -There are more columns to sort with (Account column a necessity for me). -Fewer issues adding Gmail accounts. Release a separate Outlook 2022, and leave the current one alone.

  • CA_22562_AN T:HE:JAMES. HMRH (@CA_22562_AN) reported

    @Outlook @Microsoft @BillGates It is appreciable that Outlook is a free service that supports many people in the world to communicate, do we have to find a new application if OWA is continuously broken?

  • bcrogs Bcrogs (@bcrogs) reported

    2 weeks now I'm TS'ing user issues on @windows10ent 21H2, @MicrosoftTeams asks for auth which fails, then @Outlook disconnects from EX and will not reconnect. I've repaired MS365 apps for E, reinstalled, replaced machines etc.. reboot works short time then recurrs. Any one else?
