  • 45thChucks Chuck$ Akune$iobike 🇺🇸💰 (@45thChucks) reported

    @Microsoft Best email boxes are 1. Yahoo mail and 2. Gmail. Microsoft's @Outlook, #Hotmail etc are dead. If you forgot login access, it's all over because you'll be told to answer too many litany of questions. It's unfortunate.

  • Marcel_Swart Marcel Swart (@Marcel_Swart) reported

    Dear @Outlook, why do you scroll down 1.5 page if I do a page-down?!?

    @Outlook why on earth was the unified inbox removed? I never even thought anybody would try to mess up what was working!! The FREE mail app links accts inbox, but the one for professional use does not?? Is there a patch, add-in, or other means fixing this error?

  • realkrax CHAD (AMC Ape Leader) (@realkrax) reported

    Dear @Outlook, On your iOS app, could you make the swipe to delete animation a little quicker? Like almost as fast as someone repeatedly swiping? It’s just too slow and annoying at its current rate. Thanks in advance! Chad

  • DanielleSATM Danielle Solzman ✡️🕎✡️🎥🎞️🎬 (@DanielleSATM) reported

    It took almost a month but my @Outlook issues have been resolved. It had been getting annoying having to go through another site to respond to everything since I have emails auto-fwded

  • Good__old_days . (@Good__old_days) reported

    Starting from April 1st, 2022, Microsoft @Outlook completely BROKE my mission-critical EMAIL ADDRESS with a custom domain. All incoming emails have stopped. I am not receiving any emails at all. The last email was on 31st March. It is extremely serious and urgent. FIX MY EMAIL!

    @ATabarrok @Microsoft @Outlook As I recall I had this problem a couple of years ago but fixed it by changing one of the default settings. It's a daft default.

  • Camkokobean Oga Sir (@Camkokobean) reported

    Why tf is no one talking about how TERRIBLE outlook has become. Been back working corporate for months and there’s always an issue, constant ugly glitches, inability to properly search. @Outlook get a damn grip.

  • Good__old_days . (@Good__old_days) reported

    "Phone or chat support is not available for @Outlook.com. If self-help doesn't solve your question select Yes under Still need help & we'll email you." IS THIS SOME JOKE? No phone/chat support? What if ability to send/receive email itself is broken? @SatyaNadella @BillGates

  • theslimshadyist Scott 🇺🇸🇺🇦 (@theslimshadyist) reported

    @Outlook Yesterday's Outlook for iOS 4.2212.0 update has broken push email and it's notifications. The is like the 2nd time in 3 months that this has happened. #Microsoft

  • katieravenna Katherine Morales Lugo, Ph.D. (@katieravenna) reported

    Dear @Windows please fix @Outlook's search option for both app and mobile version. It is terrible. I can rarely find important emails. Thank you.

  • jimmycav78 Jim Cavanaugh (@jimmycav78) reported

    @AppleSupport Sorry--it's not an issue with receiving mail. It receives mail just fine. I'd just like Push to work, rather than Fetch. It worked years ago, but doesn't any longer. I now use @Outlook -- mostly because I don't like @gmail's notification sounds. That said, I'd prefer Mail.

  • raykay528 Rachel (@raykay528) reported

    @Outlook on @Windows If you could please fix the issue where your emails ignore custom fonts and just default to Times New Roman that would be greattt. kthanks.

  • drawmytown Ben 'Draw my Town' Poultney (@drawmytown) reported

    @Outlook Hi there @MicrosoftHelps - you keep emailing me telling 'it looks like we don't have permission to get email for your your Gmail account' I follow the instructions to fix it via sync, and the entire sync category in settings does not display. Please explain.

  • BillBa462 Bill Ba (@BillBa462) reported

    @TulsiGabbard I am not receiving confirmation email to sign in to your new website….they are being blocked no doubt…..@outlook.com and @gmail.com

  • borgfilez1 borgfilez (@borgfilez1) reported

    @Outlook Those solutions do nothing, it's not a random issue, you can see many such issues pop-up in 2 years and documented in Microsoft forums. I still cant receive any emails

  • Good__old_days . (@Good__old_days) reported

    It looks like the ALIAS with the custom domain for @Outlook.com broke on 1st April, 2022 on Microsoft's backend. For the same account/email, if I create another alias, I can receive emails just fine. @Microsoft, PLEASE FIX THIS CRITICAL thing you broke.

  • scshepard steven c shepard (@scshepard) reported

    @Outlook I have poisoned my email address to mistyping an email to myself. I cannot remove the incorrect address and cannot send to the proper one. How do I fix this?

  • ATabarrok Alex Tabarrok (@ATabarrok) reported

    It is extremely frustrating that Outlook 365 deletes calendar invitations once you reply and there is no way to fix this! Terrible UI. @Microsoft @Outlook
