    I'm experimenting with using Outlook for email. Am I just ignorant on Outlook's searching capabilities, or is Outlook *really* unable to search for emails by email address throughout all of your mailboxes? Is Outlook *really* that terrible...? @Microsoft @Outlook #Halp

    @Outlook is there a known issue with outlook right now? Looks like people on Twitter are starting to talk about it. When I type a sentence in email and hit enter the previous sentence disappears or turns invisible.

  • PaulGC84 Paul C (@PaulGC84) reported

    @Outlook are you still having issues with retrieving emails from IMAP accounts? The issue seemed to be fixed albeit temporarily. Now every few hours I’m being asked by the app to login to my IMAP account? Are you able to assist with this?

  • absentlive Absent (@absentlive) reported

    @Outlook how retarded is this mail app. Is there really no way to halt block spam and phishing mails... Nothing works you mailing service is Terrible and must be the worst inbox there is right now. Sort your **** out. ******* hell.

  • totitolvukall Thor (Þór) (@totitolvukall) reported

    The IMAP settings and problem diagnostics of @Outlook on Android could be a WHOLE lot better than they are. I'd almost go as far as declare them borderline unusable as they are.

  • sazzacubz13 Sarah Cubitt (@sazzacubz13) reported

    Is anyone else having an issue with the outlook @Outlook website loading?

  • diogoponce_ Diogo Ponce (@diogoponce_) reported

    Hey @Outlook , better to call Houston, cause you have a problem. Just the first line of all the emails being showed. What´s happening?

  • EmmaBurlow Emma Burlow (@EmmaBurlow) reported

    IT Tweeps... when typing fast into outlook email I regularly get a glitch where outlook stops to set up a calendar invite. I'm guessing it's a shortcut or synch issue, but Google can't help, any ideas? #Outlook @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook

  • AngieKuaile1 Angie kuaile-Filkins ®️™️♻️♥️🚂🗽 (@AngieKuaile1) reported

    @Microsoft @Outlook I keep getting emails for people other than myself!? There’s a problem! What do I need to do to get it fixed? @GovRonDeSantis for checks and balances

  • haloid1177 Haloid1177 (@haloid1177) reported

    @Outlook @MSFT365Status You guys have any issues known with Outlook suddenly having blank email bodies? Just had about eight users all of a sudden have this issue randomly.

  • Siddharth_Gdwl Siddharth Bahuguna (@Siddharth_Gdwl) reported

    @Microsoft hey, was the Outlook server down today in India? People did not receive my emails, nor did i get them. The mail service started at 2147 hrs. Any clue @Microsoft @Outlook ? 😳😳😳🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

  • Pxtl Martin Zarate (@Pxtl) reported

    Hey @Outlook , traditionally the way to let a user know that they're no longer sending/receiving email is to put up an error box or something, not just "need password" in the status bar. Like, if I'm sending an email, I expect it to send. If it's gonna sit in outbox, tell me.

  • MediaMktgGuy Walter Levitt (@MediaMktgGuy) reported

    @Outlook mu outlook is malfunctioning and resending me old emails- is this a global issue or just me?

  • reesey333 Laressa Nordgren (@reesey333) reported

    @Outlook can you tell me why all of my junk emails are gone? This is not good as often I have at least 20% of my real emails going to my junk folder. They are nowhere. Please fix this because often when I sign up for something new the verification code goes straight to junk!

  • shaerrphoto Shae Redding - Rogers (@shaerrphoto) reported

    @Zoom isn’t connecting to @Outlook . Is something down?

  • youhaveanyco Jish Smoth (@youhaveanyco) reported

    @Outlook want to explain how I need to send a text to my phone to login but last night my account was logged into in 9 different countries and you didn't think that was suspicious or worth needing a code??

  • DaniChirinosP Daniela Chirinos P. (@DaniChirinosP) reported

    @Microsoft365 @Outlook Hi there :) is there something wrong with your server? Cant seem to attach a file to my emails

  • lifebentastic Benjamin 😷🇪🇺 (@lifebentastic) reported

    @Outlook There appears to be a serious issue with your just released Outlook 2104 / 13929.20372 that concerns displaying emails. On some emails displayed content is cut off after the first or first few lines of text. Not sure which emails, but w/concerned emails reproducibly.

  • TheJoeFin Joe Finney (@TheJoeFin) reported

    Well. @outlook junk filter is broken again… why does this happen so often?

  • FrazerJ93 FJ 🚹 (@FrazerJ93) reported

    @Outlook Telling me now if I need help, sign in.. are you lot on a ******* wind up!!! Why I need help because YOU lot won’t let me sign in!!

  • fairlyinactive Icky (@fairlyinactive) reported

    @Outlook Hello how do I move all the read emails in my inbox into a folder in one go (desktop)? It's surprising that I can't simply drag and drop multiple selected emails, nor is there a visibile drop-down option to move to a folder, especially when you consider that it is 2021

  • Angie54101 Angie5410 (@Angie54101) reported

    @Outlook Out look is not working! Hello

  • prof_goldberg Daniel Goldberg (@prof_goldberg) reported

    Come on @Outlook -- new Outlook for Mac has been out for a WHILE now. It's way past time y'all re-integrated basic Tasks back in to the program. I don't want to install and use a new app ("To-Do"). Fix it.
