    @Outlook Problem is within the Mail app on iPhone. Is that still the best way to solve it? Or through @AppleSupport?

    The fact shared Outlook calendars appear not to update once you've added them to Google Calendar is the worst. @Outlook @Office365 please fix this!

  • bw91bw Becky (@bw91bw) reported

    For anyone else having trouble with their @outlook password being incorrect for no reason & verification declined , after nearly 2 weeks of no customer service at all I’ve started the painstaking process of attempting to switch everything to a new gmail account. Good luck all 👍🏼

  • NSlouka Nick Slouka (@NSlouka) reported from Phoenix, Arizona

    I have been unable to use @Microsoft @Outlook on iPhone for 13 days now, resorting to using a slow laggy web version. Are they ever going to fix this at this point?

  • grantholmes1994 Grant Holmes (@grantholmes1994) reported

    Can @Outlook please fix the iPhone issue now where it asks you log in every 5 minutes driving me bonkers.

  • CanadianOwl92 Angus Bell (@CanadianOwl92) reported

    @Outlook I know how to deal with them. The issue is that all of a sudden there have been a plethora of them appearing in my inbox instead of being automatically relegated to the junk folder.

  • jazzyjess1988 Jessica Hardy (@jazzyjess1988) reported

    @cbrown_87 @Outlook I have done once and it was fine for a couple of days and the not working again. I will give it another go. Thanks

  • seanmaccready Sean MacCready (@seanmaccready) reported

    @Outlook your account recovery options are terrible and especially terrible for internet users with adaptive needs. Trying to help a visually impaired relative and the fact that the only way to get a recovery code is text (they gave a landline) is holding up the process.

  • Feisty_Bitch_ Adult Human Female (@Feisty_Bitch_) reported

    Want to stop the eternal password problem like ******* yesterday please @AppleSupport @Outlook sick to death of pumping in my password every ******* 10 minutes!

  • MattLeitch Matt Leitch (@MattLeitch) reported

    I don’t know whether @Microsoft or @apple are to blame but somebody can surely sort it so we don’t have to constantly reset login credentials for @Outlook on #iOS14 !!!! It’s daily on every separate device!

  • MissRhiaDee 🍁ℝ𝕙𝕚𝕒🍂 (@MissRhiaDee) reported from Inverness, Scotland

    Anyone else having issues with their @Outlook email tonight?

  • BollandsLaura Laura Bollands (@BollandsLaura) reported

    @Outlook I have been experiencing issues with sending and receiving emails on my hotmail account for over a week. I am in the process of purchasing a house so access to my emails is critical. I can’t get to speak to a human when I call you!

  • stellalady1 oh honey! (@stellalady1) reported

    @Outlook why are you always asking for my sign in password every couple weeks and for about 5-10 times?

  • BlakJakNZ Mark Foster (@BlakJakNZ) reported

    Any other @Outlook for Android users noticed it's really slow to open email from notifications, if it ever opens them at all? Finding it generally slow to sync and see changes too.

  • TVPaulD Paul Douglas, BSc (Hons) - #WearAMask (@TVPaulD) reported from Hounslow, England

    @MicrosoftHelps @outlook Any ideas about this? It seems I’m not the only one this is happening to as there are replies cropping up from others with the same issue showing up

  • EmilyBarnsleyy bIm ✊🏿 (@EmilyBarnsleyy) reported from Deal, England

    @Whirly90 @Outlook it’s so annoying, it keeps asking me to sign in and stuff. Super buggy 🙄

  • danielhaas Daniel Haas (@danielhaas) reported

    @Outlook I just spend a couple of hours with the office support until they gave up and told me it would be an outlook issue how to set up my custom domain. Where do I find the necessary DNS entries for my third party domain provide?

  • engagedpractx Daniel Reeders (@engagedpractx) reported

    @outlook hey I can't even *read* the details of events contained in .ics files - you really need to fix that up fast

  • clintos86 Clint (@clintos86) reported

    @Outlook not quite sure how sending (or trying to send) an email is seen as unusual activity and being told to sign in 1,000 times yet I never got told to sign in when I was nearly charged £59.99 for an office subscription. WHY CAN’T I SEND EMAILS!!!!!!!

  • jazzyjess1988 Jessica Hardy (@jazzyjess1988) reported

    Another day of @Outlook not working on iPhone of iPad. When are you going to answer my query?

  • EmilyBarnsleyy bIm ✊🏿 (@EmilyBarnsleyy) reported from Deal, England

    @at_pat @Outlook I wonder what’s going on????? Is the mail server down???

  • piyush_soni Piyush Soni (@piyush_soni) reported

    @dflieb @Microsoft @Outlook app. It's super stupid and slow. When you click on an email notification to open it, it literally takes 1+ minutes to open that on my phone - and you can actually interact with other emails in the app until that happens! I sometimes forget that I had even ...

    @MicrosoftTeams my “out of office” keeps getting stuck as my teams’ status even after I turn it off in @Outlook ... Help! #glitch
