  • stratospher_es https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZq_jeYsbTs (@stratospher_es) reported

    Dear @Outlook. It's 2022 and I still have to decide if I want to "save changes" every time I try to close a meeting invite that I simply opened and then had the audacity to click on a link within it. Nothing has changed. Clicking a link is not changing anything. Please fix it.

    @Outlook New server, new IP, server correctly configured, access restricted, smtp auth, spf, dkim, dmarc ... everything is done for the server to be perfect, AND also configure to deliver mail slowly to @Outlook. But, why would they care?

  • CaveatE29318463 Caveat Emptor (@CaveatE29318463) reported

    @Outlook - whoever implementesdyour text autocomplete in Outlook online did a horrendous job. You actually made typing worse and slower. Slow clap.

    @Outlook Hi, my outlook android app does not send emails when I click on the send button, emails just sit in the draft folder. Any suggestions? No issues receiving emails. Thanks

  • TMS_IEEE TMS-EE (@TMS_IEEE) reported

    @fsfarimani @Outlook I have a TBI so struggle to organise some things but can't find reliable tools to help. Many others have dyslexia type issues or will develop them so this is vital. I loved the free Simplenote but it broke, I pay for 365.

  • KristinaRex Kristina Rex (@KristinaRex) reported from Boston, Massachusetts

    Seeking internet’s help: can you combine 2 email inboxes on @Outlook, or at least make it easier to access both? I can’t access work or school email without completely shutting down my browser

  • y0m_b y0m (@y0m_b) reported

    @Outlook Compared to that, @Google postmaster links just work. Your IP address reputation is clear. I never had a problem sending mails to @gmail ... ever.

  • NikolaLovig Nikola Lovig (@NikolaLovig) reported

    Wow, I guess @outlook .com is down. Interesting. And shortly after I complained. I wonder if that means I caused it. *shrugs*, guess I better not complain in the future?

  • Prabhats30 Prabhats (@Prabhats30) reported

    @Outlook outlook live mail not working since today morning pls sought out this problem.

  • wapmonkey Wayne Parsons (@wapmonkey) reported

    Hi @Outlook I need help with an issue and can't see it anywhere in your help online.

  • steinmto Tom Steinman (@steinmto) reported

    @Outlook @PascalStrassl I am seeing issues if Office365 outlook as well.

  • ntnsndr Nathan Schneider (@ntnsndr) reported

    Should I assume that the @Outlook Android app's constant crashing on IMAP accounts is intentional anti-competitive behavior? Because for years I have used an app made by one guy in Germany to do the same thing with no problems. You'd think a mega-corp could handle it.

  • tiny_mischief Shaunna (@tiny_mischief) reported

    Never had an issue with @Outlook, but now they have started popping adverts disguised as emails at the top of my inbox, I'm finding it bloody irritating! 😡

  • y0m_b y0m (@y0m_b) reported

    @Outlook /#Hotmail/#Live is the worst email provider ever. PostMaster links are broken; you can always try to unlist your arbitrarly bad reputation IP address, but they'll always answer No; you can unlist from Spamhaus Zen block list, but MS keeps a list which never changes.

  • borgfilez1 borgfilez (@borgfilez1) reported

    @Outlook great support! Slow claps.... 3 weeks since your domain @vista.aero is not receiving any emails and no Fs given. Apparently we the sufferers just forget about everything and make new emails and leave important stuff bye bye

  • SupaDupaAJ AJ (@SupaDupaAJ) reported

    Hi @Outlook stop trying to make new Outlook for Mac happen, it's terrible and I'm not using it xx

  • AnitTdm AnitTDM (@AnitTdm) reported

    @Outlook the employees in your Chennai India office are on selling customer data or themselves are engaging in scams using said customer data. Fix your ****, whatever you are doing now isn’t good enough 🤬
