    @Outlook Outlook is down, will not load page

  • onghu Mohit Sindhwani (@onghu) reported

    @barthoi @Outlook @Office365 Honestly, seems like an Outlook/ Windows search issue. I'd recommend: - add a new profile & let it sync again - don't sync all mail. Set it to 3yr/ 5yr - don't file mail while sync is happening For me, it works sometimes, fails sometimes. I need to work with Outlook support yet!

  • MySamJohnsonBio Wayne Jones (@MySamJohnsonBio) reported

    @lynneguist @Outlook I find many Microsoft products are like that. Would love to see (both) Gates foundations give about a billion to fix them. Poorly designed and likely just packed with fix after fix after fix -- when the whole thing needs a from-scratch redo. Start with Word.

  • genevievewicker genevievewicker (@genevievewicker) reported

    @alonbrown @Outlook Alon, another issue… prior behavior I could click reply or forward and immediately start typing. Now I have to pause as the draft opens in Outlook proper. If I don’t pause, I either get beeped at for typing too soon or the first part of my words are missing.

  • Gemma_Porter Gemma Stevenson (@Gemma_Porter) reported

    @Outlook My app isn't working. Is this a known issue? Tried to uninstall to reinstall but it won't even let me delete the app.

  • OnuuwaJ Onuuwa Jude (@OnuuwaJ) reported

    @AntonyCornforth @Outlook Recently support services are very annoying...my account was having this same issue earlier today, I contacted support but they wouldn’t help me, all thanks to those who referred global_protect_security on Instagram to me, they were very trustworthy am sure they can help you

  • jackrosslav Jackie-Ross Lavender (@jackrosslav) reported

    Why is @Outlook so terrible?! Every time you sign in it takes you through at 65 step verification process and then tells you you don’t own the account. For **** sake just let me log in! No wonder why I switched to @gmail

  • MyDaddyStar 🤗Janno🍺 (@MyDaddyStar) reported

    Microsoft outlook servers down @Outlook

    @drsltaylor @Microsoft @Outlook No.....and I'm on the same server

  • Ghoul_of_London ⚠️Skeleton O'Rourke⚠️ (@Ghoul_of_London) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook We previously reported a bug whereby clearing categories from Outlook (office app) inbox view does not visually remove the flag. The issue persists, when will the bug be fixed please? #microsoft

  • princeofpalmair getinholdonshutup (@princeofpalmair) reported

    @Outlook WTF IS GOING ON. IM NOT ABLE TO GET MY MAIL. ARE YOU SHUT DOWN?

  • daShader daShader (@daShader) reported

    Microsoft @Outlook, can you please make the 2fac authentication actually ask the password? I am spammed sign in requests to Authenticator app, which can be done by just knowing someone's email...

  • JLthesecond JL (@JLthesecond) reported

    @MicrosoftUK @Outlook your verification system does NOT work for outlook. My partner is locked out of his e-mail with important emails coming in and he is now blocked out of it even with his password. Fuming. We have tried to recover it with all his details and it is not working!

  • MarloWordyBird Marlo Garnsworthy 🌊❄️ (@MarloWordyBird) reported

    Hey @Outlook thanks for randomly turning off my vacation response YET AGAIN. When are you going to fix this? Absolutely bloody ridiculous.

  • onghu Mohit Sindhwani (@onghu) reported

    Any power @microsoft @Outlook users here? I have a strange problem: when I move/ delete emails in Outlook Desktop on Windows (@Office365 & OST), it doesn't always move it out of Inbox elsewhere - only within the client. The emails stay in Inbox on OWA & other clients. Ideas? Thx!

    My Gmail accounts are no longer working in @Outlook. Error message says the security settings are not correct for POP/IMAP. Appears to have happened after the most recent @Office365 update. Anyone have a suggestion to fix this problem? #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

  • CamilleRbl QueenCleo (@CamilleRbl) reported

    Weird question: anyone out there having problems logging into @Microsoft exchange accounts using the @Outlook desktop application today? It is happening to me on three different computers on two different accounts.

  • mys31f_osu Lam Bui Bao (@mys31f_osu) reported

    @Outlook guys how does your spam filter work so badly? I had a password reset mail from the Arch Linux team and a login code from Steam and you guys marked them as spam. the hell.

  • QualityFrog Ben Simo 🕵️ (@QualityFrog) reported

    When I display 2 or more calendars in @Outlook, and scroll up and down using 2 fingers on the trackpad, the calendars don't scroll together. The calendars get out of sync with each other and the time labels on the left. One more way that MS Office bugs me.

  • PurePrecOEE Pure Precision OEE LLC (@PurePrecOEE) reported

    Hey @Microsoft could you fix 2 things in @MicrosoftTeams 1. disable the single click and create meeting in Teams calendar, constantly having to close unintended "created meeting" 2. add 7 day view like @Outlook Thanks

  • frli01 Fredrik Lindström (@frli01) reported

    @jng5 @Outlook Not sure if related but I have had a similar issue for a while (intel mac, big sur, office beta channel, new outlook). Outlook throws login prompt repeatedly for one of my accounts from time to time. Only workaround I have found is removing and re-adding the account.

  • lukeperry85 Luke (@lukeperry85) reported

    @Outlook & teams is not working and send to be down for everyone I speak to. Any ETA on it being fixed?

  • ailon Alan Mendelevich (@ailon) reported

    @EShy @Outlook I had the same problem but I feel like they've changed something (and now there's this extra dialog) that marking "not junk" actually does something. (knock on wood)
