Hi @Outlook, why are emails from gmail not being received by my hotmail account? It's affected my colleagues as well and I've tested it multiple times, so it isn't an isolated problem.

Hey @Microsoft I am glad you're adding new features to @Outlook but instead of new features could you fix your style support so creating emails for Outlook on Windows isn't such a pain in butt? macOS has better styling support than Windows, please fix that.

@Outlook Yeh did that few minutes ago, by the way tested the problem using a different hotmail to send to my own hotmail (using a different network to be sure), receiving immediately, so it seems limited to gmail trying to reach hotmail accounts.

What the hell did y'all do with the Outlook app on Android. Cannot specify IMAP, POP, Server Ports, just, you enter the server and it fails unless everything is perfect. You cannot get to Settings. You cannot specify a provider type. It's a baby app now. @Outlook
