    @Outlook FIX YOU SPAM FILTER

  • UTExpat DeVon Griffin (@UTExpat) reported

    @Outlook just tried to INCORRECTLY get me to change a “me” to an “I”. One would never write “give it to l”. That’s why “give it to Bob and I” is incorrect. Fix your grammar checker. “Give it to Bob and me”😣

    @Outlook @hwji Hi, I have been experiencing the same problem for 2 days now. I can’t create a new account. I complete the verify you’re not a robot successfully and it just loops me right back to it every time.

  • GY1Matt Matt (@GY1Matt) reported

    Good morning @Outlook Still burying your head in the sand over this issue? Appalling so-called customer service from you.

  • xavier22 Xavier Tee (@xavier22) reported

    @Outlook Hi, I have an issue. I’m using Office for Mac on O365. My mailbox has over 20k emails. But when switched over to New Outlook, it only has emails from a few weeks ago. I need to keep scrolling down to load older emails. Is this a common issue?

  • tammiew tamara wall (@tammiew) reported

    So…anyone with hotmail email that has suddenly gone down , I tried asking @Outlook for help for 3 days with no luck so I just worked it out for myself ! My mailbox is full ! Go to pc and delete ! I feel very smug!

  • SoulflareG Dale (@SoulflareG) reported

    @Bunnyman1400_ @JimDavisMTG @Outlook This is what I did for my dad when he didn't want to swap. Forward everything. Update to the new email as is convenient (aka I am on the page might as well do it) And boom problem solved

  • tinathetygress Tina the Tigress😍 (@tinathetygress) reported

  • PattyZiecheck Patricia Ziecheck (@PattyZiecheck) reported

    @Outlook It seems that there would have been enough complaints about this by now that there should have been something in the works to fix it. I also use a second email service that does not have this problem. You can forward this to your developers if you like.

  • tammiew tamara wall (@tammiew) reported

    @obd1996 @Outlook I’m having the same issue and @Outlook are a nightmare to communicate with!? The irony

  • kjb_cpa Kyle J. Bauman, CPA (@kjb_cpa) reported

    MS @Outlook just told me it doesn’t trust the @MicrosoftTeams add-in and disabled it upon start up. I just feel like that’s a personal issue that #Microsoft should be sorting out amongst itself. I don’t need to be brought into that drama.

  • GAPOfAmerica Great American Podcast (@GAPOfAmerica) reported

    The truth about @Microsoft is that when the customer brings an issue to you, regarding the @Outlook app. Wether it’s desktop or mobile, the issue is that YOUR Spam/Scam Filter is officially “broken”. You have not fixed this in 3 weeks. FIX IT. You have the tools to do so!

  • elumos 1381 (@elumos) reported

    @tammiew @Outlook Yeah, mine's been inaccessible for days. It literally won't even come up on a desktop computer as a site to do--anything. Sign in, delete, email--anything. #Hotmail @Outlook

  • GY1Matt Matt (@GY1Matt) reported

    @Outlook Are you still going to ignore this issue?

  • OriGinnelle original. (@OriGinnelle) reported

    @Outlook is terrible, companies need to stop using it
