  • CraigStrathie Craig Strathie (@CraigStrathie) reported

    I’m sorry but @Outlook is an absolute joke. Went to update my number as it’s old because my grandparents have (still ongoing) issues getting into their account. Says it will take 30 days to update (that’s fair enough) however it then goes on asking to verifying my account...

  • JayWilhelm82 Play-By-Play Jay 🎙 (@JayWilhelm82) reported

    @Outlook Is BY FAR the most dangerous email service to have! SO MUCH Phishing, attempted scam emails and it doesn't slow down if you block them, unsubscribe, and they won't do anything if you Report it. GO ELSEWHERE. I get 100's a day with no help from Microsoft. Wow!

  • iam_hameedvr Hameed (@iam_hameedvr) reported

  • RyanCartiers RyanCartier (@RyanCartiers) reported

    @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps #Outlook app has failed to regain functionality since your feb update. Approaching 2 months problem unresolved. #customerexperience

  • ericc Eric Cloninger (@ericc) reported

    Oh look, I destroyed all my @Outlook rules trying to fix a couple that were client-side instead of server-side. Backups? What backups?

  • Skatactics SkatterJones (@Skatactics) reported

    @Outlook Hi Outlook. My house was broken into a few days ago with things taken and they have been attempting to access my **** through emails. Im trying to change my password but keep getting an error saying there has been to many attempts, come back later. Let me change my password PLZ

  • Choco__boi robert (@Choco__boi) reported

    @VoyagerFL @Outlook Fix the spam mail issues.

  • BovineFarts Bovine Farts (@BovineFarts) reported

    @Outlook I’m trying to sign in to an old email. It said the account is blocked due to too many sign in attempts. I followed the instructions and changed the password but it is still blocked.

  • KingGorch Gorch Foth (@KingGorch) reported

    @Outlook you locked my girls account. Fix that ****! She’s not happy about it. Neither am I.

  • DJ_Byrd DJ Byrd (@DJ_Byrd) reported

    @argylsa @Outlook same issue since late last week and can find no fix for it

  • Steel_City14 Lou R (@Steel_City14) reported

    @Outlook is one of the WORST email apps in the play store! CONSTANTLY freezes, brings back deleted emails after freezing, etc. It's been a HUGE pile of crap the last several weeks. Message lists are blank when opening too.... Hey @Microsoft, fix your app!!!

  • Shelbyylynee Shelbs❤❤ (@Shelbyylynee) reported

    @Outlook Is there a reason why one of my emails that I sent on Monday March 15th 2021 didn’t get send until Thursday March 18th? Was there a outage or something on that day that would cause this to be why? I turned in an assignment to my teacher and she didn’t receive 4 three day

  • sarahfelldown Sarah (@sarahfelldown) reported

    Here's your daily reminder that @Outlook is terrible

  • stiffanderect three first names (@stiffanderect) reported

    @Outlook fix ur app I keep getting caught in a boot loop looking at an email chain

  • Vikas_Salve Vikas Dilip Salve (@Vikas_Salve) reported

    @Outlook #inbox #Rule is not working at all :-(

  • jfahler Joshua Fahler (@jfahler) reported

    @MatthewJBusch Even worse when it is set by default in the web version of @Outlook (at least on the server/version our school uses - my university has a different web version that we should probably switch over to soon)

  • CarrotTop1023 Tim Appleby (@CarrotTop1023) reported

    @Outlook Hi there, I have a small issue, I just renewed my office subscription yet, my product says, "subscription cancelled" Why?

  • jtoro J Toro (@jtoro) reported

    @Outlook @Meeshell_ART You've done similar thing to my Hotmail access and simply asking us to follow instructions elsewhere that do not resolve our issues nor fix the root cause is not productive nor a positive @Microsoft experience

  • shomeanangel Becky Jakob (@shomeanangel) reported

    .@Outlook, I have been misspelling the word "itienrary" for six years. See? You have my permission to correct this error in real time.

  • AllxHailxKenny #PRE | Kenny (@AllxHailxKenny) reported from Sullivan, Missouri

    @Outlook really needs to get with me on this issue for real. Over this!

  • mattchannz Matt (@mattchannz) reported from Auckland, Auckland

    @ajobbins @DemiseNZ @Outlook Well... For one, when I want to view the top of a long email chain, and I scroll up, after every "chain" I scroll past, it will jump back down to the latest email. Now imagine if you have a chain that's 20 emails long.... Then halfway through, the app will crash. Useless POS!

  • cbaquero Cristian F. Baquero Duarte (@cbaquero) reported

    @MicrosoftTeams Please integrate the notifications with macOS. I can't be more annoyed by the way they work now. (Same problem in @Outlook)

  • reggieburnett Reggie Burnett (@reggieburnett) reported

    @ChrisWalshie @mattchannz @Outlook They both suck. No in-line reply. No line quoting. Useless imap server side search. Useless

  • ckulkarni7 Chaitanya Kulkarni (@ckulkarni7) reported

    @Outlook can we fix the zoom in Outlook 2016?

  • thatgirlNajuma Najmalie (@thatgirlNajuma) reported

    Can @Outlook please fix their app?! Every other day my app stops synching. I've restarted it, deleted my account and nothing. I deleted the app the other day and it took days for me to log back in. It's getting annoying now.
