    It’s not just @MicrosoftTeams that is down but also @Outlook - is this part of the hack @jakejsullivan was warning about?

  • spangger gee spang (@spangger) reported

    @Outlook I'm looking for a standard issue tool that will open the edited pdfs I send to family with edits shown/included - not just the blank pdf!

  • _messy_boy MS (@_messy_boy) reported

    @satyanadella @Outlook calendar restricts one to use system time. Can't we have secondary clock as basis for calendar for people who work different timezones? Changing system time isn't a solution - the calendar should allow shifts that continue into the night/next date. Fix it!

  • ColinBirbee Colin (@ColinBirbee) reported

    So #Microsoft365 is causing me pains with @Outlook today, and has decided for no reason to put all my separate lines into one line when I send the email. Even restarted #Microsoft Outlook but problem continues. It can be disabled, but it's on by default, that's AI gone mad.

    @Outlook @stevo210209 This has been plaguing customers for well over two years and Microsoft does not appear to have a long-term solution, except to let their customers deal with it on their own. If there IS any new update relating to this issue, please post something CURRENT and RELEVANT. Thanks.

    Had a @MicrosoftTeams call with a customer & @garychen147 - got caught in outage and 17 e-mails later meeting is re-scheduled. On the positive side, at least @Outlook is up!

  • Backflip25 Bryan (@Backflip25) reported

    So confused. My @MicrosoftEdge browser suddenly signed me out of all my saved websites & reloaded as tho it just been installed. Now my legacy Hotmail address keeps redirecting to @Outlook OWA & making me sign in every time i go to check my emails, instead of keeping me signed in

  • AlphaSierraPapa PSA (@AlphaSierraPapa) reported

    Looks like the @outlook / @Microsoft365 Junk and Phishing filters are down for good. 2 days and still getting junk and phishing emails delivered straight to the inbox. Great at cyber security? lol, sure.
