    @Outlook Hello Outlook Support your new version is not working. Sent emails were not getting out. Got to know that two days later. Switched to the old design immediately. Please roll back the new version. I am using MacBook Pro Big Sur 11.2.2 Release it when it is properly tested

  • threddyrex Threddy the T. rex 🦖 (@threddyrex) reported

    @samuelali @simonallison_ @Outlook I'm not sure we have enough server capacity for that.

  • iammrdom andy (@iammrdom) reported

    @robmckenzieuk I used the @Outlook App but had some weird scrolling trouble on iPhone when replying to an email thread so I’m using the Apple Mail App to receive my Outlook email.

  • ManChicken1911 Bob Maple (@ManChicken1911) reported

    Why the hell does @Outlook for Android completely hijack 3rd-party mail accounts? I shouldn't be receiving IMAP/SMTP connections from Microsoft IPs. The phone should connect to the mail server directly. How do I disable this middleman **** so it works like a normal mail app?

  • AmyHambrook Amy Hambrook (@AmyHambrook) reported

    @Outlook I have created rules for emails from people that are moved to a folder. Problem is, I don't receive email notifications for these folders. I can't find anything in the rules to add a notification. Can you help?

  • localtryhard ur local tryhard (@localtryhard) reported

    why is @Outlook for windows so clunky, old, slow, and broken (really some ancient dialog boxes there from Office 2000/2003 if you dig around enough) while Outlook on Mac is so well optimized. really makes no sense.

  • Ron_Rives Ron Rives (@Ron_Rives) reported

    @Outlook Yes, but I believe it is an AT&T problem. Thanks

  • Ninjafuya FuYa (@Ninjafuya) reported

    @Outlook cannot login.

  • DaPoodlez Maria Valles (@DaPoodlez) reported

    @Outlook we can’t connect to our office account. And the login page for web mail is also down

  • jaymelbe Ph. D. Jérémie Melchior #SurfaceDuo (@jaymelbe) reported

    @windowsinsider some news... had the same issue in Android. Seems like it is because of @Outlook .. had to disable administrative rights from Outlook because it was preventing me from setting a high than 5 min timeout for the screen. Any idea how to disable that on Windows now?

  • reaper_mech_ reaper_mech (@reaper_mech_) reported

    @Outlook having issues getting outlook to sign in on chrome , was fine this morning

  • jng5 Julie Ng (@jng5) reported

    🤬 WTF @Outlook I sent meetings to customers. And you just eat them. They're not in my Sent Folder, Drafts, Sync issues, etc. I think it's an Outlook for Mac issue, where API to get Teams Meeting link fails. And because it is called after I click send, email just disappears.

  • pedmurray Peter Murray (@pedmurray) reported

    @outlook hi, are the server issues as I'm having trouble logging into my outlook account this morning?

  • Alfonsiawarrior Kim Johnson (@Alfonsiawarrior) reported

  • TedTschopp Ted Tschopp: 𝕀 𝕨𝕒𝕟𝕥 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕍𝕒𝕔𝕔𝕚𝕟𝕖 (@TedTschopp) reported

    @MicrosoftToDo @Outlook Can you reach out to the TO DO team and align your design language. It’s stuff like this (and you shipping Ariel and Comic Sans) that makes people say MSFT has no sense of design. Can you fix it.
