  • bear_nugs The Nuggy Bear (@bear_nugs) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps Can you get the @Outlook team to put out a statement so it would aliviate confusion. Hotmail currently won't sync to any app. You have to view emails on browser. It may be an android issue, gmail app or yourselves. But acknowledging it would help. Thanks.
