  • Sabrina_Ces Sabrina Cesaratto (@Sabrina_Ces) reported

    @Outlook I keep on getting logged out of my iPhone Mail box asking for my email address password. Happening at least once a week. Is this an outlook problem or iPhone?

  • srcshelton Stuart Shelton (@srcshelton) reported

    So @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook @HotmailUK_Help, you’ve blocking my mail server's IP, your support team has stopped answering emails without providing any attempt at resolution, and your ‘Smart Network Data Service' is broken 😡

  • BrambleSnap Samuel George Whittaker (@BrambleSnap) reported

    Honestly getting fed up with the outlook mail account on my Apple mail app constantly reasking for the password every other day @Outlook I shouldn’t have to download your own app just for a stable login

  • Tibule Thibault (@Tibule) reported

    @Outlook @GaREE_UK Yes, it seems to be a major issue with ios... it asks me my password almost everyday for my mail account - hotmail (not for the outlook app)

  • cerisedeterre Cerisedeterre🇨🇴🇨🇦 (@cerisedeterre) reported

    @Outlook where can i go to try to fix an accout thief?

  • salamurai Yorick (@salamurai) reported

    Yay i found a search term foe web @Outlook that lets you sort-of filter your emails by date received<10/01/2020 (example date) Trouble is, it's not smart enough to actually find all the items (ive done it five times now) and you still have to scroll all the way to the end

  • RealConnorMcCaf Connor McCafferty🍀 (CEEJ) (@RealConnorMcCaf) reported

    @Apple @AppleSupport @Outlook please work together and sort out the issues plaguing outlook/hotmail email accounts. Every few hours the “re enter password” notification pops up!

  • TextileTokens TextileTokens (@TextileTokens) reported

    @Outlook @elle_goodwill Same thing STILL happening on all devices. Problem reported in national media but still no solution from Outlook..please help!

  • DaddyPudding85 Deano (@DaddyPudding85) reported

    @Outlook @elle_goodwill Its sooooo annoying. My android powered items are fine. Only on my ipads. Must be an iOS issue.

  • joshb1020 Josh Bishop (@joshb1020) reported

    @Microsoft @Outlook some real issues with the new version of Microsoft Outlook. No longer able to have the Zoom add on, when scheduling in Zoom it changes the calendar to iCal even though Outlook is selected. Also the screen extends beyond my Mac screen. Back to the old version.

  • TheSimArchitect 🥰 Sim 🦃🥧🎄 Architect 🏡 (@TheSimArchitect) reported

    .@Outlook for web needs to give us the option to NOT show/load images unless we pre veto the sender, otherwise the sender will know we read their message and keep spamming us. Can't find the setting anywhere, you just proxy it instead, which still sends a server request.

  • Tina_M_Wade Tina (@Tina_M_Wade) reported

    @SamGoodhand @Outlook I concur; Clunky!! Wouldn’t allow me to change my generic reset password a few days ago, error message after error message; today; changed it first attempt with the same one I was trying and failing with!

  • Catherine_Emm CathEmm (@Catherine_Emm) reported

    @Outlook why do I have to sign in repeatedly to my Outlook email on iOS ? Driving me mad!

  • sxciky Iky (@sxciky) reported

    @Outlook @Microsoft over a decade ago a man in a cave managed to take down two towers. 2020, iOS is constantly logging me out of my outlook accounts. ******* sort it you *****.

  • DBrown83058431 D Brown (@DBrown83058431) reported

    @Outlook you don’t understand I am being cyberattacks now. You were attacked before and I think you need to look at your security measures. It’s a hacker cyber attacking me and others now. It’s in your outlook for email. Can you fix it?

  • sky_tweet Prabhu 🇮🇳 (@sky_tweet) reported

    @Outlook Outlook app on ios is so slow in downloading new messages. Is there any settings to download new messages and keep them ready for review? Or is it the display that is slow ?

  • LucyEnnis1 Lucy Ennis (@LucyEnnis1) reported

    @Outlook I keep having to sign into my account on my iPhone every day, my husband is having the same issue, we both have iPhones, is it the iPhone or a problem with @outlook

    @Outlook Images not loading on any e-mails - is there an outage?

  • MPierreLachance Pierre Lachance (@MPierreLachance) reported

    @Outlook I have personally found the solution to this problem, I would have liked to talk to a human, not read forms with no help. Plus, it looks like you think everyone has a cell phone, they don't! I don't have one, the person I'm helping doesn't. we're not the only ones. good day

  • TanyaWadd ♔ 𝚃𝚊𝚗𝚢𝚊 ♔ (@TanyaWadd) reported

  • Hundred_Dollar hundred$ (@Hundred_Dollar) reported

    @Outlook I‘m using the Apple iOS Mail App with three Microsoft mailaccounts. Since a couple of weeks I get a prompt every day (!) that I have to login on all accounts again. That's very annoying... What can I do now?

  • Lone1183 [Lone] (@Lone1183) reported

    @Outlook @microsoft Just created a new Outlook login and before I can send an email I need to complete this ‘which mouse cant get by to the cheese game’ Are you guys trolling us? How are you able to complete this before the time runs outs? Ridiculous
