  • DHCulture DHC (@DHCulture) reported

    @Outlook Hey, I can't access my account due to the issue with password. I provided correct details (like name, birthday - at least year is correct - passwords I use often and last person's email I wrote to with subject.) Please help.

  • budgiesmuggle45 budgiesmuggler45 (@budgiesmuggle45) reported

    @Outlook Had the same issue with Virgin and my email. I let them know a few times and within a couple of weeks things improved. I've communicated with MS about the same issue and again things got better. I know there are things you can do to improve how much spam lands direct in inbox.

  • BryanDSmith81 Bryan D Smith 🏒🏈🍺 (@BryanDSmith81) reported

    With all the terrible that is going on in the world @Outlook new interface has to be the most tragic. Thanks for ruining my week with your new unnecessary update.

  • MarshBrentnall Marshall Brentnall (@MarshBrentnall) reported

    Anyone know how to setup outlook so that you have the send later sitting underneath the send button as a drop down - not via options but just using the drop down function? Ping @Outlook. #Outlook

  • mralanjohnsmith Alan ‘join a union’ Smith (@mralanjohnsmith) reported

    .@Outlook's recent habit of putting lots of important emails in the Junk folder has caused all sorts of problems but it has excelled itself this time by treating an email from myself as junk. (Because it was forwarded, by Outlook, from another email that we use as standard.)

  • AshleyOakes Ashley Oakes Scott (@AshleyOakes) reported

    @Outlook now that we were forced into the new version, how do we organize emails by person only in date order? There used to be a drop down where you could choose “from” when on someone’s email. #GiveMeBackOldOutlook

  • Nikio001 Theresa Palmer Niki (@Nikio001) reported

    @Amy_sprick @Outlook Same thing happen to here I wasn’t able to login my account regardless I have made several complain to there team but luckily I was directed to (zbctech) on Instagram by a friend and they help me fix my account back

  • revan_joy46 Revan_joy45 (@revan_joy46) reported

    @JoJoshelley @Outlook My son had similar issues but support couldn’t help or at least respond to my mail… i met #Dionysius_helios on lnstagram and he was able to recover my banned account! He’s credibility is top notch 🔝

  • saravsweet saRAVANAn paRAMAsivam (@saravsweet) reported

    @Outlook Mail app is not working in #oneplus9 with android version 12. Kindly look into the issue. #Shivratri

  • Sanskar61345701 Sanskar (@Sanskar61345701) reported

    Hey, @Outlook there's a Hotmail email id of my mother that I wanted to sign in to. But I am not getting the OTP on my registered phone, can you help me with that? I DMed the email address to you guys.

  • L_J_C21 LJC (@L_J_C21) reported

    Hey @Outlook having problems with my email security constantly locking, can anyone help?

  • emasters Elmer Masters (@emasters) reported

    I think the list's useful to the #lawschool #edtech community. Subscribers include many IT Directors, CIOs, Law Library Directors, and Associate & Assistant Deans at most US law schools. I'd hate to just shut it down because so many of those law schools rely on @Outlook @teknoids

  • g00dby3w0rld helloworld (@g00dby3w0rld) reported

    @Outlook hi, I'm having issues moving selected emails to a folder from an android app. I hold down to select email(s) and from the three dot menu, select move to folder and nothing happens, the emails stay I the inbox. How do I get to move them??

  • hillbrad Brad Hill (@hillbrad) reported

    Rules based on email headers are no longer supported in New @Outlook for Mac. I feel like I never want to look at my inbox again. What a terrible regression.

  • emasters Elmer Masters (@emasters) reported

    The teknoids mailing list is 30 years old. I've been an admin for most of those and running the whole shebang from my own server since 12/2014. The @Outlook ban came out of the blue, no warnings and no way to get off the list, just a lot of bounced messages. @Microsoft @teknoids

  • emasters Elmer Masters (@emasters) reported

    The teknoids mailing list is broken. Since 12/2021 @Outlook users have not gotten posts because the list IP is on a banned sender list. I've attempted to engage @Microsoft support but can't get it fixed. That's 248 subs at US #lawschools about 50% of all subs to @teknoids

  • SamFotofiend David Samuel (@SamFotofiend) reported

    @ATT @Outlook YOUR 5G SUCKS MY 3G WORKED FINE I DO NOT WANT OR NEED 5G DONT EVEN HAVE A TOWER YOUR PHONE STAFF ARE INCOMPETANT MR Stankey FIX THIS DEBACLE THE PHONE DOES NOT WORK WEEKS TO ACTIVATE THE STRESS IS MAKING ME ILL YOU ARE CULPABLE

  • ntkernel Robert (@ntkernel) reported

    @markwilsonit @Outlook @MicrosoftTeams I dont know if its the same thing, but we had an issue where every meeting sent from OWA would default and add a teams meeting. Set-OrganizationConfig -OnLineMeetings....$False

  • Fazalistan Fazal Malik ™ (@Fazalistan) reported

    @Outlook I changed password of my email account after getting warning-emails from #MicrosoftTeams but it is still login in my several devices and does not require me to login again to use it. Should I continue to use Outlook services or look for any other Email Service Provider.

  • tracylyn44 Tracy D (@tracylyn44) reported

    @Outlook your app hasn’t worked properly in days. I chatted with support and got nowhere. I was told chat is for their website only. Please fix your app! ERROR 2201 is what it keeps saying.

  • 78_LKW LIM KHENG WAH (@78_LKW) reported

    @JohnPetals @Outlook Sorry about that quickhackz on Instagram helped me out with a similar problem when support wasn’t really helpful look him up for gelp

  • SuperDivineWeb Trace Swindale 🕸 (@SuperDivineWeb) reported

    Any @Outlook email experts out there please? My attachments are disappearing if I send a reply. Have looked in the Options Mail settings & cannot find the "keep attachment" pull down box. Any advice appreciated. Thanks. #Microsoft365

  • markratledge Mark Ratledge (@markratledge) reported

    @adesnik @Outlook Patch Tuesday has in the past taken down a corporation or two.

  • numeristacom Daniel Page (@numeristacom) reported

    @Microsoft Is there any human in charge of Advanced Threat Protection on @Office365 emails that's generating false positives? Your postmaster it's not their problem. @Outlook can't say much. Our own sales rep is a dead end. No feedback loop, no ownership, no accountability. WTF?

  • budgiesmuggle45 budgiesmuggler45 (@budgiesmuggle45) reported

    @Outlook Hi. Yes i do all i can and report phishing. Problem is that spammers just change headers and mail gets through. Mail going into spam folder is fine but there has been an increase in spam coming direct to inbox. Blocking these isn't working and it's something you'd need to address

  • JoJoshelley Jojo (@JoJoshelley) reported

    @Outlook my account is not working. I have used your online chat and it’s useless. I have tried contacting you. Please can I have help
