    @Outlook can you fix the android app, its way too trigger happy at sending emails i havent even completed. At first i thought it was Samsung keyboard but same problem with gboard too. Plus i dont get that on other apps like twitter. Or optimize for Samsung

  • Good__old_days . (@Good__old_days) reported

    So someone at Microsoft eventually ruined @Outlook.com webmail UI as well. A toolbar with extremely hard to understand icons but text labels removed when an email is opened. Terrible usability. 0/negative marks for ease of use. UI has hit rock bottom at this company.

    @Outlook How about a fix for Outlook stealing focus? Or are you going to act like that doesn't exist like many other bugs?

    @SinnottSp @Microsoft I have an Office login with a Gmail account tied to it on my old comp, and the new comp wouldn’t let me sign in with that email. I had no way to cancel so I created a new @Outlook email. Now it won’t let me log out of this to try to log in to the other one so I can DL Office.

  • salim03 ѕαℓιм кнαη (@salim03) reported

    @Outlook I do not get notifications on my mobile device if I have a rule running for that particular type of email. Its been 5 years. Any ETA for this fix?

  • julian_urbano Julián Urbano (@julian_urbano) reported

    @OlegZendel @Outlook that's not as bad, I admit. What gets me is how slow they are at fixing stuff. As in, this is my 1st time using outlook in like 20 years, and I'm easily finding bugs that remain unsolved for over 5 years! Let alone user interface "choices"
