Outlook.com Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • RossSmithIV Ross Smith IV (@RossSmithIV) reported

    @stefann42 @Outlook Yeah, intent with the content is not known, so the APP errs on the side of caution if the admin has enabled the data restrictions. You could set the default account to be personal, but then you have the opposite problem of having to remember to set the correct acct when sending.

  • Dad2JTK Francis Kowal (@Dad2JTK) reported

    @Outlook what kind of problem are you having with authentication and syncing email on Outlook app on Android / Note10+. Stopped syncing like 3 days ago, removed accounts, clean data and cache. Can't authenticate.

  • _DanielWep Daniel Weppeler (@_DanielWep) reported

    @RossSmithIV @Outlook @IntuneSuppTeam Thx, I know this option, but when users use the save contacts feature, all your org data/contacts are saved in the local iOS contacts app. What does it mean? Users who use Whatsapp will automatically sync org data/contacts to Whatsapp. This breaks the EU #GPDR that‘s the issue.

  • DJ_Byrd DJ Byrd (@DJ_Byrd) reported

    @argylsa @diegoloayza @Outlook Has anyone been able to find anyone on other forums or support communities working this issue?

  • LiamBCreative Liam Banks (@LiamBCreative) reported

    @Outlook I am having trouble trying to unlock my mums email account with you - we no longer have the phone number listed for verification and the online verification tool is just coming back as unsuccessful - we have been locked out for 3 days now

  • diegoloayza Diego Loayza (@diegoloayza) reported

    @Outlook Tagging @AppleSupport if they can help with this issue

  • RyanCartiers RyanCartier (@RyanCartiers) reported

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

  • stefann42 Ștefan Negrițoiu (@stefann42) reported

    @RossSmithIV @Outlook Inability to switch accounts causes inadvertent problem: I'm using Craigslist on mobile and respond to ad via email. Outlook opens with the canned text. But since my work account is set as default and I can't switch to personal acct, it forces me to respond from the wrong email😒

  • AngelCoomonte Angel Coomonte (@AngelCoomonte) reported

    @Outlook Hi. Last update for Android (it was updated 6 hours ago) broke que app. We get notifications, but the app closes with an error as soon as we open it. Seeing the same error on app comments at PlayStore. Xiaomi user here. Please fix it!

  • MrTetts_YP Mr Tetts (@MrTetts_YP) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @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 😤😡

  • DJ_Byrd DJ Byrd (@DJ_Byrd) reported

    @argylsa @diegoloayza @Outlook And still no fix

  • cymumtaz C. Yusuf Mumtaz (@cymumtaz) reported

    New problem with @Outlook for #Android: error where email draft recipients are added/ removed in IMAP accounts. Can't send emails from IMAP!

  • 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!

  • DJ_Byrd DJ Byrd (@DJ_Byrd) reported

    @diegoloayza @argylsa @Outlook Yes. Reinstalls, Network Settings Reset on the iPhone. Only thing I have not been able to do is do anything changes to Exchange server. But nothing changed on the exchange server as far as I know or have been told

  • 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

  • DemiseNZ Gav "XPD/DemiseNZ" (@DemiseNZ) reported

    @mattchannz @Outlook Like what... Use it here no issues

  • iam_hameedvr Hameed (@iam_hameedvr) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps Your product need to test again by the QA team otherwise this issue will happen to other one definitely ! For your information, with that form no one can retrive their account Totally waste of time! @Outlook

  • SJBlackTweets Stuart Black (@SJBlackTweets) reported

    @EposVox @Outlook search is utterly useless. I use the desktop client to manage 6 different addresses and can NEVER find the message I want. The app is also generally very buggy and slow.

  • DJ_Byrd DJ Byrd (@DJ_Byrd) reported

    @argylsa @diegoloayza @Outlook So far we are the only 3 people in the world I can find having this issue...but it can not be a coincidence

  • dilaragunemre Dilara (@dilaragunemre) reported

    Anyone working on the outage? Please solve this issue asap! @Outlook

  • yulia_bulgakova Yulia (@yulia_bulgakova) reported

    Microsoft, please have a bit of compassion towards your users and fix your form, there is clearly something wrong with it 🙏🙏🙏 or at least give an option to speak to real people who can assist over the phone.. and not another phone bot 😭 @MicrosoftHelps @msftsecurity @Outlook

  • 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

  • argylsa Emiliano Cardinale (@argylsa) reported

    @DJ_Byrd @diegoloayza @Outlook Nope, the only thing i found is that TLS 1.2 has to be enabled on the exchange server. I have the 2007 and it does not have that option aparently. I asked support if this was true or not... no response

  • DJ_Byrd DJ Byrd (@DJ_Byrd) reported

    @diegoloayza @argylsa @Outlook I also have this issue on both my iPhone and iPad.

  • aresmarte1 Francesco Sodano (@aresmarte1) reported

    @Outlook any issue with the authentication? I’m offline from my @Office365 mailbox..

  • YeahRrrrright YeahRrrrright (@YeahRrrrright) reported

    Why @Outlook can't filter a single spam email, yet managed to make me almost miss a raffle I won and now it put an email with a job offer in to junk... Is it a retaliation for all the tweeting about touch input issues I point out in @MicrosoftEdge and @Windows?

  • KingGorch Gorch Foth (@KingGorch) reported

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

  • dilaragunemre Dilara (@dilaragunemre) reported

    @Outlook Anyone working on the outage? Pls solve this issue asap!

  • rajithw 🇱🇰 Rajith Wijepura 🇱🇰 (@rajithw) reported
