  • j7nce Jeff Ince (@j7nce) reported

    Why does my @Microsoft @Outlook app on my @AppleSupport iPhone no longer give me push notifications? Checked all settings and forums but still broken, please advise.

  • HaradKhabaal Melenkurion Abatha Duroc Minas Mill (@HaradKhabaal) reported

    I don't know why @Outlook ever thinks I want to open a file preview more than I want to open a file. File preview needs to be taken off single click on large area icon and relegated to right click or drop down. Single click should select only, obviously. It's not a button.

  • BobFrankston Bob Frankston (@BobFrankston) reported

    @Outlook I should that hundreds is not a small number and an 80% error rate is not trivial.

  • HotmaiBill Bill (@HotmaiBill) reported

    @EternalZeldaFan @Outlook Mine is slow to respond. Example: will delete all from my junk mail folder, and the number still shows as if mail is still in it.

  • theurv Urvi 😷💧🧼👏🏽 (@theurv) reported

    I swear @Outlook’s terrible integration with @google and @apple products is cutting years of productivity from the economy

  • ChrisMNovak Chris, The Optimistic Bayley Fan (@ChrisMNovak) reported

    @Outlook Getting an error message while trying to link my Gmail account to Outlook on Windows 10. Already went through the IMAP settings and enabled everything, but still getting a "We can't retrieve your settings" message. Was wondering if I could have any help here?

  • IronmanOfIT Jeff Sample (@IronmanOfIT) reported

    I don't usually take to Twitter to complain but @Outlook @Microsoft @Microsoft365 have had me running in circles to fix a problem they created by deprecating services. Noone can answer or solve my problem. You're how big and you still can't clean your own messes??

  • Backflip25 Bryan (@Backflip25) reported

    So confused. My @MicrosoftEdge browser suddenly signed me out of all my saved websites & reloaded as tho it just been installed. Now my legacy Hotmail address keeps redirecting to @Outlook OWA & making me sign in every time i go to check my emails, instead of keeping me signed in

  • stelin34 Wicky (@stelin34) reported

    @Outlook hi I have an issue regarding receiving emails . I am currently unable to receive otp from Amazon but I think I’ve had this issue with other accounts a while ago .

  • asifakberali Asif A. Ali (@asifakberali) reported

    @Outlook Device and Maintenance on Samsung Galaxy always alerts about Outlook draining the battery. No other app including Google Play consumes battery the way Outlook does. Please address the issue. Also, how do I limit the mail retrieval days to a month max. Thanks. ☺

  • SteelerWayne SteelerWayne (@SteelerWayne) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps Is something going on with @Outlook ? I cannot login to it on the web

  • VojtaHejl Vojta Hejl (@VojtaHejl) reported

    @Outlook Having trouble accessing my emails via online app. the loading circle just goes round and round. This happens a lot to me. UK-based...

  • ties_wildeboer Ties Wildeboer (@ties_wildeboer) reported

    @Outlook I think both the agenda and mailfunction, but the problem with sending e-mails with IMAP accounts is not solved yet, I'm very disappointed. I hope it will be fixed soon.

  • FerMu86 FerMu (@FerMu86) reported

    @Outlook 1- add the ability to attach more than one file/picture at the same time. 2- fix the notification badges on IOS.. its driving me crazy 3- sharing files/pictures to outlook then send doesnt work.

  • EternalZeldaFan Krysten Helka (@EternalZeldaFan) reported

    Is anybody else having issues with Hotmail/Outlook? Mine isn't loading, at all. It keeps having a spasm, while trying to load... @Outlook

  • va_why JWC🏳️‍🌈🇺🇸 (@va_why) reported

    Who can guess the mind boggling thing about @Office365, specifically @Outlook OWA having issues when using @MicrosoftEdge? (hint: the left hand ain't talking to the right hand)

  • jaymelbe Ph. D. Jérémie Melchior #SurfaceDuo (@jaymelbe) reported

    @windowsinsider @Outlook still waiting for feedback. Seems like some settings are handled by the organisation which forces the screensaver after 5 min maximum. I have the same "issue" on a work computer .. set to 10 min by policy (expected because it is managed by the IT of the company)

  • bulatmurat Murat (@bulatmurat) reported

    @Outlook One issue for a long time: When you add an image as attach, image adding to body, you can't add as a file. I'm using Nine @9FoldersInc A bug report from twitter.

  • barbellbabe83 Barbells&stilettos (@barbellbabe83) reported

    @Outlook office 365 slow to load today

  • JohnnnnP John Polson (@JohnnnnP) reported

    Any @Outlook boffins out there? Email address not receiving emails... domain and emails hosted on @GoDaddy and received emails fine last week. Transferred website domain only (not email) away from GoDaddy and now cannot receive emails... Don’t see how this is an issue.

  • kankort а знаешь (@kankort) reported

    @Outlook when fix application crashes on ios 14.4.1?

  • EternalZeldaFan Krysten Helka (@EternalZeldaFan) reported

    @HotmaiBill @Outlook When I could go on mine, it was slow to respond to opened e-Mails, but I'm not sure if I have that junk mail problem, since I let my junk mail empty on its own. The main problem is I can't get onto Outlook, because it spasms, when trying to load.
