  • grumpybozo 🆘Bill Cole 🇺🇦 (@grumpybozo) reported

    One of the best bits of competitive sabotage in the email biz is the @Outlook/Hotmail S3150 error. Mail gets rejected, but @MicrosoftHelps bots just shrug and say there's no blockage. But there is. Telling customers truth: Hotmail/Outlook is unfit for mail AT ALL. #Sysadminnery

  • TBat416 Bugs (@TBat416) reported

    @Outlook My outlook is not receiving emails and senders are getting the error message "remote sever is misconfigured". Your chat support is useless as well. Can someone offer advice on this? I'm missing important emails.

  • adamtiley Adam Tiley (@adamtiley) reported

    @zacbowden Thank god someone said it. Been a massive influx of these all of a sudden in the last month or so. @Microsoft @Outlook fix it please!

  • jonestowne jonestowne (@jonestowne) reported

    @screamingofcak1 @Outlook If they were from real people or places, it would be no problem. Just in this case it’s so easy to tell there fake because real Netflix and 99% of other companies don’t use emojis in there address or subject line. So, it’s blatantly obvious, to me at least, that they’re fake.

  • VetCloudGaming VetCloudGaming (@VetCloudGaming) reported

    All the issues I'm having with @Google over the #StadiaRefunds, I'm done with Google products. I've taken my email accounts that I had with Google and created them over on @Microsoft @Outlook and have all mail forwarded there. As for YouTube, more than likely done there as well

  • s_p_enright <spe /> (@s_p_enright) reported

    Anyone getting #email errors like "451 4.7.500 Server busy. Please try again later from" and "452 4.5.3 Too many recipients (AS780090)" from @Outlook? I don't use Outlook servers. I use my own servers. Happens randomly, not all email. Is there a trouble-ticket system for Outlook?

  • jammi_dodger94 Jamie Raines 🦖🥔 (@jammi_dodger94) reported

    Been trying to fix our very messed up @Outlook calendars for DAYS now, and was seriously advised today on a help chat that permanently deleting the calendar would resolve the issue. Like yes, but then I wouldn't have a calendar 🙃

  • MasonDAutistic Mason Dixon Autistic (@MasonDAutistic) reported

    How is it that half of Twitter staff can be fired, features start disappearing, but it still works? Meanwhile I suppose @Steam and @Outlook are fully-staffed and yet none can be bothered solving my issue: Steam verification emails not being delivered to me, so I'm locked out

  • Pantherman82 Doomwaffl3 & Friends (@Pantherman82) reported

    @JimDavisMTG @Outlook Following, I have the same issue. It's getting ridiculous

  • msbellows M.S. Bellows, Jr. (@msbellows) reported

    @HieronymusMcG You'd think @Outlook would have fixed this, if only because it must be a problem for their employees too.

  • ChrissonatorOFL Chris (@ChrissonatorOFL) reported

    Well, I'm glad I created an alias when I did @Outlook since that feature is going away. I had to create a new alias to stop login attempts to my email. 🤷

  • zob879 uıʇsnɾ (@zob879) reported

    @Outlook omg stop with the changes. The past 3 changes to outlook have been terrible.

  • David3399 David Rainone (@David3399) reported

    Once again deleting a bunch of emails because I've run out of space and can @Outlook please fix your Sweep function because it doesn't work It's incredibly painstaking to delete a bunch of emails and because I don't have time to keep up with the 50+ emails I get a day (most spam-

  • ShaunClarke04 shaunclarke.co.uk  🪱🐀 (@ShaunClarke04) reported

    @jammi_dodger94 @Outlook Hahaha yeah. Microsoft products NEVER work for me. Can’t believe I used their ecosystem for what? 2 years?? I can barely open a word document without issues!

  • HarryHarding91 Harry Harding (@HarryHarding91) reported

    @Outlook Sadly this hasn’t helped. I can login and have plenty of storage but my inbox on 3 outlook accounts have been down since yesterday. Outbox is working but not the inbox

  • HarryHarding91 Harry Harding (@HarryHarding91) reported

    @Outlook hi, 3 emails in our business are down and can’t receive any emails since yesterday. Outbox working but inbox definitely not. Have checked storage & there’s plenty left (we have 50GB storage limits & not near the threshold at all). Tried logging out and back in, pls help!

  • damlopez33 Boritaína (@damlopez33) reported

    @Outlook why my email is not coming through? I have no emails since yesterday. Is there any issues?

  • rubernck21 Alex (@rubernck21) reported

    @Outlook PLEASE FIX YOUR SPAM FILTERS!!!!! I don't know why I have to MANUALLY mark OBVIOUS spam/phishing emails 10+ times a day!

  • jonestowne jonestowne (@jonestowne) reported

    @screamingofcak1 @Outlook Were they from real people/places, it'd be no problem. But in this case, the emojis are indicative of them being fake; as real Netflix (and 99% of other companies) don’t use emojis in their address or subject line. So it's blatantly obvious that they’re fake. Seems an easy fix.

  • TigerIre Ire Tiger (@TigerIre) reported

    @Outlook why don't you fix your mobile app

  • laurashleyy TiffanyBeatz (@laurashleyy) reported

    I need to leave Outlook. Their spam filter is GARBAGE and I've spoken with customer service many times about an issue and no one can friggin resolve it @Outlook @Microsoft

  • MrsCClay22 MrsC🦄 (@MrsCClay22) reported

    @JimDavisMTG @Outlook I'm having the same issue, also been the last week or so. I sadly don't have a solution other than deleting each one... good to know it isn't just me!

  • 97Butterfly25 Butterfly97 (@97Butterfly25) reported

    Has anyone else had issues with the @Outlook app today?

  • Therealmattbon1 Therealmattbonk (@Therealmattbon1) reported

    Why does the outlook mobile app send your authentication details in plain text to Microsoft first then authenticate with the remote mail server? #Outlook @Outlook #OutlookSecurity #Android

  • andy_ibberson Yowzerbowzer 🧩 (@andy_ibberson) reported

    @Outlook are the spam filters down? An inordinate amount of tripe appears to be in my focused inbox and shows no signs of going away.

  • tarosakamotos l. (@tarosakamotos) reported

    @outlook i keep explaining my problem to you and you aren’t responding at all. The steps you have provided did not help me as it did not match my problem. I cannot access my important emails because you dont recognize my email username. please respond, this is not good service

  • HarryHarding91 Harry Harding (@HarryHarding91) reported

  • SeanT3181 Sean Trejo (@SeanT3181) reported

    @Outlook I haven’t been able to use the outlook app on my iPhone 12 mini with iOS16 since version 4.2243.1 was released last week. The app just opens and crashes immediately. The latest update released today has not fixed the issue. I need this app to do my job! Please help.
