  • 1SuperVas SuperVas (@1SuperVas) reported

    Hey @Outlook I can't send emails any more, because my account is apparently not verified, even if I verified multiple times in the past. Even the link to verify is broken and it doesn't work! HELP

  • stefgz9 Estefania (@stefgz9) reported

    @Outlook All I want is that you fix this problem I'm having with spam email. I've been receiving nearly 10+ spam e-mails a day!!!

  • philipplusmusic Philip+ (@philipplusmusic) reported

    @Marcel_Swart @Outlook Yes, there are some integration issues but there are ways to go around them... I find it baffling to know of so many academies complaining about lack of founding and then spending millions of €/$/£ in proprietary software with acceptable alternatives.

    @rovercrc Sorry to say but this company is a total disappointment lost to much on trade investment, don’t trade with them. Contact Jeffsalvador4 @outlook . com for help on recovery issues or complaints

  • realdeniseg denise (@realdeniseg) reported

    @Outlook your search function for emails is absolutely terrible and it’s been years. I know Bing sucks but this is unacceptable

  • gcaughey Ginny Caughey (@gcaughey) reported

    @marknoble @Outlook Not that I'm aware of. Calendar seems broken for others too according to Feedback Hub.

  • R78946345Miguel Miguel Ribeiro (@R78946345Miguel) reported

    @Outlook Hello my email is not recognising my number used to sign in and nothing online is helping me recover my account. I’ve tried calling you and no help either. I need to get into my email for business purposes and things are being put on hold. Please help, this is urgent!

    Hey @Outlook your calendar app is not working. It won't open since yesterday. Seems this is a widely known problem. Any fix? (Using Windows 11)

    @zacbowden I remember you tweeting about the spam filtering of @Outlook.com not working. My hotmail address (tied to the same account) has been getting at least 4 phishing emails delivered straight to my inbox. Good thing it's the old email address, but the filter doesnt work...

    @Outlook I am disgusted with your accessibility technical support. I am disabled and rang up to get support to access my emails as I had to reset my phone and need to reset my 2FA as 2FA is not working and was told I have to wait 30 days and unable to access my emails

  • coldwxsh georgia (@coldwxsh) reported

    @Outlook thanks for making your search function so **** that it now looks like I've made mistakes at work because I can't find any ******* emails relating to it. They have to exist so where ******** are they and why don't they show up when I search for them. Fix it.

  • 28LivingAtHome Bryan (@28LivingAtHome) reported

    I opened @Outlook and everything was rearranged. I hate it, but it’s going to stay like that now because I don’t have the patience to figure out how to fix it. You’re trying to do too much, Outlook. Just be email and a calendar.

  • benajal Benjamin Ajal (@benajal) reported

    @Outlook @Microsoft365 @Microsoft MS Outlook email app is a pain! It is beyond redemption! Not only is it so slow, the official version signs me out of work emails every few weeks and I must contact ICT support across continents for #MFA account reset! #Stupidity

  • LEPetersSeattle Lola E Peters (@LEPetersSeattle) reported

    Any other Safari users having problems with @Outlook not recognizing your keyboard? I can't logon because the logon form . All other forms on the browser recognize the keyboard.

  • Ind_Consumer indian consumer (@Ind_Consumer) reported

    @outlook hotmail email service going down. Suddenly storage limits are introduced. There is no way to delete only attachments. Merely downloading attachments does not free up space. Entire email has to be deleted, leaving nothing for the record. @MicrosoftHelps not bothered?

  • wilcochris Chris Wilcox 🌻🇺🇦 (@wilcochris) reported

    @Outlook Thank you. Though this is a completely separate issue. Events created in outlook desktop do not add 0 minute reminders. They are added if I create an event on my phone and it syncs. I need that to stop.
