  • blakeatedder Blake Tedder, MSW RYT (@blakeatedder) reported

    Just need to vent from my work life. Why does @outlook have to destroy my @mailchimp emails?! It is so frustrating to resign to send something unprofessional looking to a fraction of an audience, especially when they don't know it's outlook's rendering error. Pulling my hair out.

  • subham_tweets Subham Ram (@subham_tweets) reported

    Microsoft @Outlook has a bug where Notification for new mails in folders and subfolders other than inbox is not triggered. This is a very common issue in Outlook mobile app (android) and hasn't been fixed since forever.

  • dfeldman Dave Feldman (@dfeldman) reported

    A relative had their @Outlook account hacked pretty badly. The usual steps have not resolve the issue and in fact it seems to have escalated. @Microsoft's "contact support" link is just redirecting to the Outlook home page. Help?

  • bethnyland Beth Nyland (@bethnyland) reported

    @BateauDeBanane @Outlook Did you get an answer or a fix? I’m having the same issue on my Mac and iOS devices.

  • Tack_Neely_Inc Tack (@Tack_Neely_Inc) reported

    @Outlook you guys have the most atrocious customer support I’ve ever witnessed. At this point I’d rather use @Yahoo for email instead. You are injecting some crazy **** over there to have invented a system this incredibly terrible! All I need is to send one email like holy ****!!

  • cwingrove50 Clinton Wingrove (@cwingrove50) reported

    Hotmail down again - seems that this is now a regular occurence. Thank good ness, I rarely use it now. @Outlook

    @Outlook Seems to be a problem When I click on a image in email and click on save image as doesn't do it anymore. Anyone else has this problem too. #Email #Hotmail #Outlook

  • BateauDeBanane Madame DeFarge (@BateauDeBanane) reported

    @bethnyland @Outlook No answer or fix (annoyingly), it just started working again yesterday. There are various 'fixes' explained on websites so they be be useful, but the most common one appears to be to wait.....not helpful!

  • VicJisawesome Michael (@VicJisawesome) reported

    @Outlook Ever since the new iOS update, the app crashes whenever I try to open it. It seems a lot of other people are having this problem too

  • robA89 Rob Auld (@robA89) reported

    is anyone else having problems with @Outlook /Hotmail emails being offline on Mac Mail?

  • pbro48 Peter Brommer (@pbro48) reported

    Just sent an e-mail to only myself, because I was replying to the last e-mail in a thread, which I sent. @Outlook - can't you fix this?

  • Nikolay_Cherk Nikolay Cherkasov (@Nikolay_Cherk) reported

    @pbro48 @Outlook This problem was present for at least 15 years. I assume it cannot be touched anymore being put into a listed historical heritage category...

  • wennerking63 🇺🇸Winner🔱King63🇺🇸 (@wennerking63) reported

    @KaylWhitesides @Outlook Same here, online it says its a scam. I started receiving them back in December. But every deadline has came and gone without any problems. I kept sending them to junk mail and hitting plushing. I almost clicked the link but when it says enter your info correctly I figured, NO

  • mairimacrackerz Dr. MacCrackerz (@mairimacrackerz) reported

    I have no control over my life. It is controlled by .@Outlook And nothing else. Occasionally my bladder takes a stand and then backs down

  • WillWestWNML Will West (@WillWestWNML) reported

  • davethetekkie Dave Allanach (@davethetekkie) reported

    My Mac just offered me the "new" @Outlook... Seriously @Microsoft STOP FAFFING WITH USER INTERFACES. LEARN FROM WINDOWS 8.x. I have switched back and will be VERY, VERY annoyed if you force this "new" experience upon me down the line.

  • 1Keecho Dr. Black Che (@1Keecho) reported

    @Microsoft @Outlook authentication process is clunky, non user friendly, terrible annoying portal system going back and forth between screens and never remembering your login, and having to re authenticate every day Like we got nuclear codes in our email inboxes. Jesus

  • ki11deer KillDeer - Official (@ki11deer) reported

    @Outlook None of that helps because when I try to login to the account it's locked and the only option to unlock it is to text a code and it rejects any phone number I put in.

  • engmann René Engmann (@engmann) reported

    @Outlook What have you done? Since 2 days no more emails can be fetched via POP3. For years it worked fine from via Gmail from my Outlook address. When will the problem be fixed?

  • YtSamer SamerYT (@YtSamer) reported

  • krishnakoman krishna chaitanya (@krishnakoman) reported
