I set up a delayed send for my Outlook outbox. It’s been great so I can catch any mistakes. Problem is I cannot set a timer for a full Send so the messages sit in it. I’ve read the product support pages. I’ve tried multiple settings and nothing works. This can be bad. @Outlook?

@Marcel_Swart @Outlook Do they then disappear on the phone? Still trying to see if the deletes are failing to sync up to the server, if they're not getting synced back down to the phone in the background, etc. If you're not sure, might be best to see if they're visible in Outlook on the web.

@Outlook -- was on leave for a month, came back to O365 with a full inbox. I've been deleting for HOURS, and made less than a GB of progress; everything else on Earth can delete lickety-split, why does your product have trouble with this simple task? @Microsoft #waiting #tech

@Microsoft365 @Outlook Still not good. You did not fix annoying problem. Weh you have outlook minimized (CMD+W) and you click on notification. Email will be opened, but so Outlook and outlook will cover opened email so you have to switch window (CMD+`). This is annoying as hell

If I have two windows open for @Outlook - one each on different computers - it sure would be nice for things I do on the one computer to push over to the other. Google has no problem with this. I have to reload the browser window for Outlook to know anything has happened.

@Outlook Hi I’m am experiencing terrible customer service from one of your agents in attempt to recover a password for an account I have had access to for over 10 years. The agent actually had the audacity to tell me just create a NEW ACCOUNT 😤😡

Why doesn't @outlook on Android work with IMAP accounts? I can't compose without errors, drafts don't sync, and I'm worried emails don't actually get sent.

@thurrott I'm more interested in knowing why the @Outlook Android is terrible at handling IMAP. And I waited so long for them to fix the contact syncing issue.

@RossSmithIV @Outlook scenario: search in app brings not all contacts. sync to native contact app is broken. but if Outlook apps works for everyone else, we will look to go through support.
