  • samuelthomson Samuel Thomson (@samuelthomson) reported

    Yesterday I deleted around 12 years of emails by accident, mainly due to having IMAP switched on, but just before the "human error" part, I created a PST archive in @Outlook for safety, but it just didn't save most of my emails in a returnable format.

  • emmaxgomez Em🤍 (@emmaxgomez) reported

    @Outlook Experiencing some account problems and is completely impossible to speak to a human being. Is there any way to fix my issue at all or will I have to change to Gmail?

  • HopefulNeko HopefulNeko (@HopefulNeko) reported

    @CatgirlFingies @JennyifewPwime @Outlook i get a similar issue with my gmail. its not my deadname but its the name i previously tried for a bit before i decided on the name i use. but it does not make sense cause like i never used that name on my new email. i had a diffrent email for that name.

    @Outlook @niravpatel_1984 Dude, @Outlook, just search Twitter for "infuriating Microsoft puzzle" and you'll see plenty of screenshots. We're dying here. Fix your ridiculous security measure.

  • chloeroseeeee Chloe 🌹 (@chloeroseeeee) reported from Warwick, England

    @Outlook is your app/website down? As the app is not refreshing on my iPhone and my emails won’t load either when I try and check them on the Google chrome app instead🤯

  • roxygal21 roxygal21 (@roxygal21) reported

    @dennisbong @Outlook I have the same issue I can’t access my email through safari or any other browser since yesterday.

  • FTD_ILLW1LL FTD_ILLW1LL (@FTD_ILLW1LL) reported

    @Outlook can you tell me why you are blocking emails? They are in the safe list. I haven’t ever had this problem before. But now you won’t let me get my confirmation emails.

  • AdamProbolsky Adam Probolsky (@AdamProbolsky) reported

    .@Microsoft broke @Outlook in the last few days. It is comical (if you are not in the middle of a crisis) to watch how they are scrambling to help people - to no avail - to fix it. I am a fan of Microsoft native desktop apps. But I am working hard to find alternative solutions.

  • PaulOckenden Paul Ockenden (@PaulOckenden) reported

    @jmhuculak @Outlook @Apple To be fair, it was pretty broken anyway, often requiring you to reindex your Outlook data files else it would miss things. I wonder whether Apple's stance is "If you won't play properly then you can't play at all".

  • mferrari Michael Ferrari (@mferrari) reported

    Latest release of @MacOS12Monterey broke @Outlook search functionality on Mac. The search does not work for "old outlook" but search works for "new outlook". Please fix! Search is critical!

  • nancydobbsowen Nancy Dobbs Owen (@nancydobbsowen) reported

    Is @Outlook down? Nothing will load or send.

  • ObiKenobi93HD ObiKenobi (@ObiKenobi93HD) reported
