Mac users - the 'new' @Outlook no longer has a 'connected to' to show if you're connected to the server on the bottom right. Searched everywhere for the preference with no joy - anybody found it?

How can Microsoft @Outlook be so terrible? It is amazing to speak to so many persons, and not find a single business person who has positive words about the product. #BallAndChain #Microsoft

@Outlook is the worst email platform, guys switch before you end up losing your account too, and starting having many problems in your life: bank, school etc...

Had to dig into the roadmap for @Outlook today, and discovered that @Office are planning to screw Mac users over really bad. The upcoming "Monarch" client is just a wrapper around OWA, and it's *terrible*. They replaced the ribbon with hamburger menus, and performance is awful.

Not enjoying the pop up browser in @Outlook for #ios. It’s really a pain with @BingRewards where it wants you to sign in all the time when you already are.

@Outlook My organization's email has an issue with inbound emails. When I receive the email it goes to deleted items after 5mins & every time I have to restore them and again after 5mins they disappear and move to deleted items. No change at all in settings.

@Outlook Can you explain to me like I'm 5 why you won't let me use an old password on my account? I'm aware of what it says about security, but I want to use an old password and I don't see how it's any of your business. There is a single device I sign in on.

@Outlook I am having trouble attaching documents to emails. The message reads Try Again Later, which I have. Your rep told me to screenshot the message and attach it. That’s the problem! Not a solution. He also told me to change my password. Does anyone know how to help???

@Microsoft @Outlook why can't you fix the problem with captcha while creating an outlook account? Rotating those stupid images 10 times, it keeps telling me it's wrong. It's not wrong, it's just stupid.

@cakeis_not_alie @Outlook @Office yeah seems like their key metric for this version is how few people it takes to build/maintain it. I'm hopeful the perf issues will go away on apple silicon systems.

@Outlook As much as I want to accept this I can’t I feel that there has to be another way considering this is such a common issue- if he has changed his phone number since having the account and hasn’t used it in years and obviously wouldn’t know who he’s “recently emailed”, etc” (1/2)

@Outlook Hi guys,been having problems with my outlook app on my smartphone for a few days now. Keeps crashing, won't open, freezes etc. Have tried uninstalling & reinstalling several times but this only works for the first opening. Next time I go to use it, it stalls again.
