  • gogs42 GEORGE (@gogs42) reported

    @Outlook @Apple Your silence speaks volumes so u know there is a problem and just don’t want to communicate. Gone are the days where u should worry about brand image, these days people want companies to be open, honest and transparent!

  • sky_tweet Prabhu 🇮🇳 (@sky_tweet) reported

    @Outlook Outlook app on ios is so slow in downloading new messages. Is there any settings to download new messages and keep them ready for review? Or is it the display that is slow ?

  • srcshelton Stuart Shelton (@srcshelton) reported

    So @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook @HotmailUK_Help, you’ve blocking my mail server's IP, your support team has stopped answering emails without providing any attempt at resolution, and your ‘Smart Network Data Service' is broken 😡

  • salamurai Yorick (@salamurai) reported

    Yay i found a search term foe web @Outlook that lets you sort-of filter your emails by date received<10/01/2020 (example date) Trouble is, it's not smart enough to actually find all the items (ive done it five times now) and you still have to scroll all the way to the end

  • PR0JECTALICE Kerstin (@PR0JECTALICE) reported

    @outlook can you please fix the bug where it asks for my password every day on the new version of #ios it’s driving me mad

  • TheSimArchitect 🥰 Sim 🦃🥧🎄 Architect 🏡 (@TheSimArchitect) reported

    .@Outlook for web needs to give us the option to NOT show/load images unless we pre veto the sender, otherwise the sender will know we read their message and keep spamming us. Can't find the setting anywhere, you just proxy it instead, which still sends a server request.
