    @benjami44478570 @Outlook 702-271-4754. Thanks. It says I need to fix account, but the password manager doesnt open, and the code is not sent to my phone, although usually that works fine.

  • soxxylady Sharon 🦋 (@soxxylady) reported

    @WhosThatGav @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook This has been happening for years. Constantly get scams and spam. Can’t block them as they go straight to bin box. Flagged spam arrives too. Outlook is so outdated with bad server etc. sick of changing passwords etc.

  • rawbbiee Robbie with an ie (@rawbbiee) reported

    Is the mobile @Outlook app not working on iPhones?

  • bereal_withme Celeste Marie (@bereal_withme) reported

    Hey @Outlook fix your freaking IOS app. It sucks and it keeps freezing.

  • barrut85 Bartłomiej Ruta (@barrut85) reported from Gostyń, Województwo Wielkopolskie

    Hmm… @Outlook tango down?! 🤨

  • sphinx568 Reese (@sphinx568) reported

    It is fun that @Outlook sends emails from recipients in my contacts and emails from themselves about suspicious login activity to the spam folder, but allows actual spam in my focused inbox.

  • Findrew2 Findrew (@Findrew2) reported

    @Outlook UI sucks, fix that first please

  • SammyJankisCPA Saka Soufflé? (@SammyJankisCPA) reported

    @Outlook your junk settings are not working anymore. All my junk emails are coming through my inbox and I have to keep manually reporting the junk emails. This is annoying.

  • wsbeck wendy beck (@wsbeck) reported

    @Outlook Is Outlook down? Can't get it to come up this morning in San Francisco. Everything else works.

  • tanstech Tanswell Technology (@tanstech) reported

    @Outlook seeing serious issues with Outlook this week across multiple tenants and clients. Seems to be the Cloud Signature update corrupting OSTs along with many other performance and reliability issues. This can't be coincidence. What's going on?

  • pburland Paul Burland (@pburland) reported

    @Outlook Hi, any issues today. All three of my App based instances of Outlook not syncing (2x Android and 1x Win10 client app). Web access via browser is ok.

  • SaraUpstone Sara Upstone (@SaraUpstone) reported

    @Outlook Working today and suddenly the design of my laptop Outlook 365 app changed. I have sensory processing issues and have literal migraine caused by how visually different it now is. It's not the layout and view options don't help, its the design of the icons. What can I do?

  • hearthisuk Hear This (@hearthisuk) reported

    Hi @Outlook - it really is a shame we couldn’t work out my email issue by the end of this year. I saw some really healthy growth patterns from July - Sept. Dare I say too healthy. Then my email rate slowed down and became more suspiciously ‘controlled’. (1/2)

  • JFredBeck2 Denver is unverefiably too damn high (@JFredBeck2) reported

    @ryanyates1990 @Outlook If they could just turn the clock back 20 years and fix new email notification badges I would be thrilled. Same goes for teams chat.

  • Linda_Albe4 Linda Albertson (@Linda_Albe4) reported

    @sab_ba1 @Outlook I also had an issue like that last week but i was able to recover my account because someone refered me to julia_codingdev on instagram who got my account for me within 30 minutes

  • GayToryJon Jonathan 🇺🇦 (@GayToryJon) reported

    @Outlook are you having issues? Trying to update info but not receiving code I need by either text or email (to alternate email address). Never had this issue before

  • Bobby400268i1 finger_lickn_good (@Bobby400268i1) reported

    @Outlook has there been an issue over the past week with #Hotmail accounts? I’d sent several email with hotmail but when I checked today they wer nowhere to be found? 🤔

  • JhangirRmdin MOHAMAD JHANGIR (@JhangirRmdin) reported

    @lilacmoonchildx @Outlook Inbox this tech guy @roy_cybertech on Twitter, he is fast and Accurate in retrieving account, he recovered my account when I got issue and support services aren't responding within 30 minutes.

  • sujaydutta Sujay Dutta (@sujaydutta) reported

    @Outlook What would it take to add the ability to set Automatic replies (OOO messages) right from the mobile app itself. Why do we have to login to the desktop app for that?

  • jesuissamii s (@jesuissamii) reported

    @Outlook how can I *speak to someone* about an issue with my email? It’s deleted my entire history and will not recover. Please help ASAP. Your FAQ pages are not helping.

  • Kim_Alex__ ꪖꪶꫀ᥊ (@Kim_Alex__) reported

    @Outlook Solve the Outlook errors, when I enter the page I get 2019 emails but when I enter from the app I get all the current emails

  • 5PriscillaKing Priscilla King (@5PriscillaKing) reported

    Oh look, @Microsoft is screaming for attention again. What now? Adding a fifth line of "ribbons" at the top of the @Outlook e-mail window. Looks cluttered, Microsoft. See if you can get "ribbonage" down to 3 lines.

  • yessheismaroon I Am The Problem (@yessheismaroon) reported

    @Outlook what’s going on? Your site is down or something?

  • cryptodumon Dumon (@cryptodumon) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook I have installed authenticator app on my new android phone and boom while recovering all of my 2fa weren't there. Dude wtf. I lost everything. Now there is nothing in cloud. Terrible seriously terrible.

  • jesuissamii s (@jesuissamii) reported

    @Outlook how can I *speak to someone* about an issue with my email? It’s deleted all my emails. I can see the 80,000 emails in the deleted items folder but there’s no restore button at the top. Please help ASAP. Your FAQ pages are not helping. Please contact me.

  • HogneBP Hogne Bø Pettersen (@HogneBP) reported

    @Giggles_FI @Outlook Teams and Outlook are the worst ones, hands down.
