  • careybearygamer CareBear (@careybearygamer) reported

    I don't know how long it's been there, but I just noticed today that @Outlook alerts you to possible accessibility issues in your email. i.e. contrast text issues or to insert alt text for any images etc. 🥰

  • 1nf0SeC Stonks (@1nf0SeC) reported

    @Microsoft @Outlook I urgently need access and I don't have my SIM card on me otherwise I wouldn't have an issue accessing my texts overseas.

  • tah_010 tota (@tah_010) reported

    @Ms_mutwiri @Outlook Enda kwa "More Settings" when repairing, "Outgoing Server" press the SMTP option.

  • AnnabelGSLT Annabel Grove (@AnnabelGSLT) reported

    Today I was blocked by @Outlook because I failed to divulge the email addresses of people I have recently been in contact with in the recovery process. I don’t understand how my name, DoB and postal code was insufficient for their security purposes. Lawyers ~ is this a GDP issue?

  • JohnGoulter John Goulter (@JohnGoulter) reported

    @Outlook Hello, I’m running 0ffice 365 on my Mac desktop and MacBook Pro, and looking to upgrade the main Mac How can I replicate the folders I have in Outlook, so that emails from the server are stored in the same sub folders across all devices

  • AaronMLB Aaron Brown (@AaronMLB) reported

    @Outlook Why is the Android app constantly demanding I sign in to a OneDrive for Business account that doesn't exist? This is uninstall-level annoying. Please fix it.

  • MartinezHebert2 Martinez Hebert (@MartinezHebert2) reported

    @WorthOfTruth1 @Outlook I had same issue till I was referred to cybtec on Instagram, he helped recover mine

  • sk8r815 The Winter Snail (@sk8r815) reported

    @Outlook Really nice to have a chatbot. But what if I have a real problem and my mail was hacked and I can't retrieve it? Thanks.

  • taykafasi tay (@taykafasi) reported

    FIX THE SEARCH BAR! @Outlook

  • basicjanie ugly duckling (@basicjanie) reported

    Okay @Microsoft your products @MicrosoftTeams and @Outlook keep causing me ISSUES and I’m SICK of it. I have a computer that is powerful and has many resources that your products choose to utilize all my cpu and cause my computer to freeze.

  • gerrybot Gerry(not a)bot (@gerrybot) reported

    @PatrickMBelfast @Outlook @recruitni I don’t know Outlook, Paddy, but make sure you don’t accidentally have it on a blocklist somewhere in your settings. Marking it not spam should’ve fixed it, so maybe a problem elsewhere?

  • BradPrick Brad Prick (@BradPrick) reported

    @Outlook Fix your iPhone badges. They only update IF you open the app, which is non-sense even if my desktop solution is ALSO yours (Outlook!). You kill cool feats like QUICK ACTIONS (3D touch / Long Press notification to mark as read, archive or delete) PLEASE. Broken for 3 years now.

  • AnnabelGSLT Annabel Grove (@AnnabelGSLT) reported

    @KellerZoe Microsoft Outlook (@Outlook) have blocked my email account because, despite giving them my DoB, postal code, office email account & password in the recovery process, I refused to give them 3 email contacts addresses! Reason: I think this is a privacy issue.

  • Annie_beth Annie Lees (@Annie_beth) reported from Market Harborough, England

    @wanderingabdn @Outlook Oh lord! Assuming there’s some @Outlook issues then and not just me being ham ******. I have stuff I need, QR codes etc that I can’t retrieve!

  • TheJamesMcAdam James (@TheJamesMcAdam) reported

    @Outlook I lost my account after I moved from USA to Saudi and lost my phone.When I tried to sign in I have to have the code which is sent to my old phone number. Now I can’t use it and when I tried to recover it it’s too hard for me to remember that much information. I need help

  • maostro Mauricio Arrieta (@maostro) reported

    @Outlook it is called "dark mode" not "black mode" there's too much high contrast. Please do fix. Use dark gray not pure black. S'il-vous-plaît!

  • kakimena Carsten Führmann (@kakimena) reported from Erlangen, Bavaria

    @j2bryson @Outlook _Does_ anyone willingly use Outlook? Or do they all get it rammed down their throats by their employer (as is the case for me)?

  • better_sit_down Dan (@better_sit_down) reported

    Hey @Outlook when are you going to be able to show unread important conversations first? Focused inbox and the clunky filters is terrible compared to gmail...

  • 1nf0SeC Stonks (@1nf0SeC) reported

    Hey @Microsoft @Outlook I can't even sign in to my Hotmail because I forgot my password, I am now blocked and I am not willing to wait 30 days for me to have access back. Please have someone contact me.

  • t3kk2 Daron Brewood (t3kk) (@t3kk2) reported

    @Outlook @OfficeInsider Big problems with latest beta New Outlook on Mac. If you look to reply to a message without opening it first you get a ‘No Conversation Selected’ message.

  • huevomil Thousand Egg (@huevomil) reported

    Hello. Could you fix the problems with my account without BS? I don't want to give you more information for you to let me back to using my account. Stop acting like this technology isn't enough. FIX THE PROBLEM AND LET US USE OUR EMAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!! @hotmall @Outlook

  • nadiawuzhere nadia (@nadiawuzhere) reported

    Dear @Outlook, please stop taking meeting invites out of the inbox once people respond. people often attach documents to meetings that you need at or before the meeting. it’s very frustrating to track those documents down. Thank you, Nadia
