  • brygentry Bryan Gentry (@brygentry) reported

    @Outlook allows us to edit subject lines on replies, but most of the time we just let those spelling errors remain so the chain stays unbroken. "Need studnets to feature." "Seeking climate chnag expert" "Let's have a conversatoin"

  • LivviJadeE Livvi-Jade (@LivviJadeE) reported

    @Outlook I keep seeing unsuccessful sign in from a windows computer. I don’t even own or access a windows computer. Even tho I have changed my password and got the Authenticator app I still feel compromised. Help!

    @Outlook Hey..i have a problem someone hacked my old personal email and changed all the information..I can't login

  • kempius Andre Kempe (@kempius) reported

    The last @Outlook for Mac must have been an insider from google to get people back to gmail web interface. Search in emails not working, emails arriving delayed, emails not loading correctly, let alone reconnecting all inboxes after update ...

  • dddbest Dddaniel (@dddbest) reported

    @PammaSuzyQ @Outlook I have the same problem only with my personal accounts. My jobs account is working. When I open the inbox I got this: "downloading your messages"

  • realitybypamela realitybypamela 🇺🇦 (@realitybypamela) reported

    @Outlook I have been having intermittent issues opening Outlook so I decided to update my office and you obliterated my ost file which contained my addresses and calendar. WTAF please tell me how to get it back bc a file search is not retrieving it.

  • franktankkk Frankie (@franktankkk) reported

    @meeessshhhh @Outlook TERRIBLE!!! They will have me thinking I’m making things up when I know they exist but I just can’t find it

  • akkcrystal36 TexasMom (@akkcrystal36) reported

    @InquisiteFurki @Outlook Has your issue been resolved? Still having problems here.

  • HelenDownham Helen Downham (@HelenDownham) reported

    @Outlook for the last two days any emails I’ve sent from my hotmail account with a word attachment have bounced back. I’m self-employed and need to send invoices urgently. Any idea how I can fix this problem?

  • salpighazarian salpi ghazarian (@salpighazarian) reported

    @Outlook Why, why remove the 'see who you forwarded this to' feature? and why remove the moving up and down in a thread, or in Inbox? I have to take 4 steps, where 1 worked fine! Help!!!

  • Fhem_lee Phfemi Akinola (@Fhem_lee) reported

    @Outlook No push notifications for outlook mail on Android. Any fix please

  • akkcrystal36 TexasMom (@akkcrystal36) reported

    @InquisiteFurki @Outlook Uninstalling now 😫. We have been with @Outlook for almost 12 years and have had to call a few times and they are rude and never help fix the issue. This sucks. Hope you have better luck 🍀!!

  • chuckwolber Chuck Wolber (@chuckwolber) reported

    Well @Outlook we are making slow but sure progress I guess. Upgraded to 2019 and now no more beach-ball pauses, but the outbox gets flustered and likes to complain for hours about not being able to send. Checked around, this is happening to a lot of people.

  • jonluci121 Jon (@jonluci121) reported

    @Microsoft @Outlook I am unable to login into my account for which I had setup 2 factor ms auth. I recently formatted my phone and forgot to take the backup. It doesn't show any other way to recover the account! Can you please help?

    Is @Outlook down???

  • DanielleSATM Danielle Solzman ✡️🕎✡️🎥🎞️🎬 (@DanielleSATM) reported

    I'm having major issues with being able to send or respond through my @Outlook account for any emails that are sent to SATM at the moment. Apparently, they've had sync issues for over two weeks and there's still no update.

  • RaphaAyuk Rapha Ayuk (@RaphaAyuk) reported

    Hey @Outlook what's going on with the exchange server?

  • Poojashah08 Pooja Shah (@Poojashah08) reported

    @Outlook so everytime I've tried to send an email with an attachment today i receive a message dating the recipient rejected my email which isn't true. How can I fix this?

  • veryposhpuppy Allison Jones (@veryposhpuppy) reported

    @HelenDownham @Outlook @microsoft said it was a widespread problem and they were working on. Been happening to me for over a week

  • DanielleSATM Danielle Solzman ✡️🕎✡️🎥🎞️🎬 (@DanielleSATM) reported

    @Outlook I need to be able to update information for one of my connected accounts but it keeps saying to try again later. I tried using the Mail app and I'm having the same issues over there. Why should I be paying for the larger inbox when I can't even respond to emails?

  • mattang Mat Ong* (@mattang) reported

    @Outlook great. except windows 11 has broken the index of outlook, so you can’t search emails received in the last week. why is this still not fixed?

  • foreignlilbizz bizzy ツ (@foreignlilbizz) reported

    someone is trying to get into my facebook and steam account, why ******** do people keep trying to hack me. i think it’s a issue with my @Outlook account but i can’t change the stupid password cause it won’t let me 🙄🙄🙄 i hate it here

  • Themightypooper TheMightyPooper (@Themightypooper) reported

    @Microsoft @Outlook you need to get your crap together. I have not been receiving some important, very important emails randomly, and it's darn annoying. Potentially career breaking. Fix it. I pay for extra storage so that I don't face issues with email, only for this to happen.

  • engagedpractx Daniel Reeders 🏳️‍⚧️ (@engagedpractx) reported

    @Outlook @Office365 Not sure if these accounts are monitored but it's a huge problem that New Outlook for Mac doesn't support contact lists/groups *at all.*

  • pxyne__ Joshua Payne (@pxyne__) reported

    @Outlook why da rasss I can’t sign in , I know damn well I ain’t change my password

  • mattang Mat Ong* (@mattang) reported

    @Outlook when are you going to fix the outlook issues with windows 11? It’s ridiculous that i can’t search recent emails as the index is broken. what am i paying for?

  • foreignlilbizz bizzy ツ (@foreignlilbizz) reported

    i’m 🤏🏼 close to just deleting my @Outlook account, it’s causing me so many issues i’m tired

  • Stephanie8754 Stephanie (@Stephanie8754) reported

    @Anne4995 @Outlook In my honest opinion,there is a good chance of recovery,I guess you reach out to @901CYBER he helped me recover my account which had similar issues with yours
