  • thekerryhood KERRY HOOD, writing about despair. With jokes. (@thekerryhood) reported

    @Justlovefood @Outlook Thanks so much for replying. Did you use Safari to sign in? It's unsettling when it happens suddenly and tracks our activities. I do wonder why they give the Don't Allow option then make you allow it anyway.

  • genevievewicker genevievewicker (@genevievewicker) reported

    @alonbrown @Outlook Hello again. The most frustrating issue is meeting scheduling. It only shows me availability if everyone is available. I need it to ignore my booked time. I need to see if the other party(s) are available then I can adjust my time. It actually taking me longer to schedule now.

  • canadagraphs Canadagraphs (@canadagraphs) reported

    Hey @outlook what is going on with youe desktop version of Hotmail tonight?? Its slow to load, and a few times, didnt at all. Kinda makes it hard to run a business when you cant read emails in an efficient manner.

  • Traderade212 Traderade212 (@Traderade212) reported

    @Readdle @ReaddleDesign @Outlook yes. it’s terrible

  • cheesesoda cheesesoda (@cheesesoda) reported

    Don't you just love it when @Outlook won't let you login to an email address? Apparently, Outlook for Android insists on thinking my email is linked to an old mail server... no idea why it refuses to see the new one... that I've been using for MONTHS. Desktop works just fine...

  • Blazinjsin Jsin (@Blazinjsin) reported

    @Outlook Can you explain to me like I'm 5 why you won't let me use an old password on my account? I'm aware of what it says about security, but I want to use an old password and I don't see how it's any of your business. There is a single device I sign in on.

  • ThrillsTO Levitation (@ThrillsTO) reported

    @Outlook My organization's email has an issue with inbound emails. When I receive the email it goes to deleted items after 5mins & every time I have to restore them and again after 5mins they disappear and move to deleted items. No change at all in settings.

  • Residentcl CésΛr (@Residentcl) reported

  • BenMeadBCFC Ben - Robins on Tour (@BenMeadBCFC) reported

    @gmail Still doesn't work, I'm not sure if @Outlook would be able to help with the issue as I believe it is a problem with that rather than Gmail at the moment, obviously still not sure though!

  • drkarenn Karen Megay-Nespoli (@drkarenn) reported

    @Outlook Thousands of people complaining since April about attachments- not attaching and not opening! Everyone hates Microsoft Teams + 365. These programs are full of glitches and problems with attachments. Where are the solutions? Or do you think the problems will disappear?

  • robot_man33 Mostafa (@robot_man33) reported

    @Microsoft @Outlook why can't you fix the problem with captcha while creating an outlook account? Rotating those stupid images 10 times, it keeps telling me it's wrong. It's not wrong, it's just stupid.

  • SocialSunman Adam Sunman (@SocialSunman) reported

    Mac users - the 'new' @Outlook no longer has a 'connected to' to show if you're connected to the server on the bottom right. Searched everywhere for the preference with no joy - anybody found it?

  • Daniel_Lyddon Daniel Lyddon (@Daniel_Lyddon) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Is anyone else having trouble sending #emails from @Microsoft @Outlook via @Samsung Galaxy #Tablet this afternoon? Not having much joy... :(

  • Daniel_Lyddon Daniel Lyddon (@Daniel_Lyddon) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @MicrosoftHelps Strange - the link sent requires sign up via #email...emails through @Outlook are the ongoing problem. Can't submit via your portal, and there's a note saying you're phasing out the portal anyway? Might be time to ditch @Microsoft - it's having negative effects on my work life.

  • Daniel_Lyddon Daniel Lyddon (@Daniel_Lyddon) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps Still having the same problem - over a week now...and because it's with @Outlook I can't get an email to sign up to your portal...any thoughts on how I can get this resolved?
