    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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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...

    .@Outlook .@***** I have reached out to Microsoft about your SPAM filtering system not working like you claim! I’m being bombarded with emails supposedly from ****’s Sporting about a Yeti Prize I supposedly won! I report them as Spam, Phishing and Block! Fix this problem!

  • 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..

  • BruceDevlin Bruce Devlin (@BruceDevlin) reported

    @jasonpl @Outlook Yes I’ve done that but the picture says it’s the server??

    @Outlook Does Microsoft have a specialist Outlook team in the UK that can be called/e mailed for help and support for problems? As store in London can't help, calling refers me to a website, and finding support online I am bamboozled? Why not make it easy?

    @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?

  • sasaillustrates Sasa (@sasaillustrates) reported

    @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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • csorleydc csorleydc (@csorleydc) reported

    @Outlook When I switched to the "New Outlook" my entire folder structure didn't come over. Is there a fix? Running app on Macbook Pro. Thx.

  • MickyDonnelly Micky Donnelly (@MickyDonnelly) reported

    @comedysavage Yes something is broken. Everyone needs to tag @Outlook the spam is so basic and obvious it’s like someone flipped a switch.

  • ElBastardoPedro 🔆El Bastardo🔆 (@ElBastardoPedro) reported

    @Microsoft @Office @Outlook I have just spent 20 minutes writing an email about a sensitive work issue, on your Outlook app, only for it to disappear when switching the sender account at the top. Sort this bug out, please!
