    @Outlook Hi, I'm in the middle of an important campaign with a client, we're liaising using my Outlook account, which - again - is having issues connecting to the server. I've asked this before and never got an answer - why should I stay with Outlook? Can you answer that?

  • PDD1970 Danny Davies (@PDD1970) reported

    @Outlook UPDATE - Just tried searching for an email which was received this morning. No results returned. Tried searching my inbox for the letter 'e' - one result returned. Looks like the search feature is completely broken within the Outlook app (classic layout).

  • vivianvolz Vivian Volz (@vivianvolz) reported

    My Outlook 365 server is down, and what I don't understand is, where is the outrage? @outlook @Office365 is this a localized phenomenon? It's a terribly inconvenient week for my whole team to be limping through email-land!

  • itsDanBull Dan Bull (@itsDanBull) reported from Birmingham, England

    @Outlook No this happens every time. I'm not looking for technical support. I'm asking why you think I should continue using Outlook and not switch to a competitor that doesn't have these issues?

  • Laica23 Laica (@Laica23) reported

    Hey, @Outlook what is supposed to happen when I have read a message? What is supposed to happen when I have deleted a message? Yes, it's me again and you have still not fixed the most well known issue with your app

  • ericdavidsonsrq Eric Davidson (@ericdavidsonsrq) reported

    @Outlook Is there an issue with your Hotmail service ? I am missing emails that are sent me ???

  • lisa_schroeder Lisa Schroeder (@lisa_schroeder) reported

    Why does my calendar say Christmas is observed on Friday the 24th but New Year's is observed Monday 1/3. This makes NO sense. @Outlook, this has to be an error, right? Google tells me 12/31 is the observed Federal holiday for New Year's Day.

  • kiddanch Anna Kidd (@kiddanch) reported from Hackney, England

    @Outlook hi I’m being asked to re authenticate my Outlook mail on my Apple devices. Despite using the correct password on two separate outlook mail accounts neither is recognised. I have the password for the rarely used account written down so I know It was definitely correct.
