@RyanBorn @Outlook They did respond and say it’s a known issue that they are working on. That was about 2.5 hrs ago. BTW deleting and adding your account back is evidently a temporary fix, the users who tried it said the issue returned after an hour or so

@RyanBorn @Outlook Good to know it's not just us. Deleting the mail account from Outlook and adding it back has fixed it for a couple of people, hopefully MS can fix it on the backend though. Opened a ticket with MS Support, waiting on a response.

@Outlook it is called "dark mode" not "black mode" there's too much high contrast. Please do fix. Use dark gray not pure black. S'il-vous-plaît!

@Outlook Hi... I'm having problems with my accounts...I receive notifications to restart my session in Outlook and Gmail... I had to change my password but it's not working again... Is this a temporary problem or the security of my account might be in danger? Thank you

@Outlook @OfficeInsider Big problems with latest beta New Outlook on Mac. If you look to reply to a message without opening it first you get a ‘No Conversation Selected’ message.

@j2bryson @Outlook _Does_ anyone willingly use Outlook? Or do they all get it rammed down their throats by their employer (as is the case for me)?

@KellerZoe Microsoft Outlook (@Outlook) have blocked my email account because, despite giving them my DoB, postal code, office email account & password in the recovery process, I refused to give them 3 email contacts addresses! Reason: I think this is a privacy issue.

@gavinbarron @Outlook @azuread I will add, I was terrified to make this change. Spent a lot of time documenting what I used my MSA with before I switched. Some random sites screwed saving not my MSA ID, but my MSA email & had to create support tickets to fix. But that was going to happen anyway...

@Outlook Having issues logging into my account. When I enter my login I get: "that Microsoft account doesn't exist". When I try to create a new email using that same name I get: "someone already has this email" ..What?!

Andrew Connell
(@andrewconnell) reported
@gavinbarron I did... a few years ago. The switch wasn't bad... I picked @outlook.com address & it mostly works. But way too often, #MicrosoftIdentity & @AzureAD get confused even when I signin with that MSA, it shows my old email, confusing me with my AAD account.

why i hate @Outlook email: it is EXCRUCIATINGLY slow and glitchy. it is not nice to look at nor does the layout even make sense. WHY DOES IT AUTOMATICALLY DELETE AN EMAIL THAT I RSVP TO? I STILL NEED THE ******* EMAIL TO GIVE ME INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE MEETING

@PatrickMBelfast @Outlook @recruitni I don’t know Outlook, Paddy, but make sure you don’t accidentally have it on a blocklist somewhere in your settings. Marking it not spam should’ve fixed it, so maybe a problem elsewhere?

@Microsoft @Outlook I urgently need access and I don't have my SIM card on me otherwise I wouldn't have an issue accessing my texts overseas.

Today I was blocked by @Outlook because I failed to divulge the email addresses of people I have recently been in contact with in the recovery process. I don’t understand how my name, DoB and postal code was insufficient for their security purposes. Lawyers ~ is this a GDP issue?

@Outlook I lost my account after I moved from USA to Saudi and lost my phone.When I tried to sign in I have to have the code which is sent to my old phone number. Now I can’t use it and when I tried to recover it it’s too hard for me to remember that much information. I need help

I don't know how long it's been there, but I just noticed today that @Outlook alerts you to possible accessibility issues in your email. i.e. contrast text issues or to insert alt text for any images etc. 🥰
