  • goTHEnellE Melody and Violence (@goTHEnellE) reported

    @Outlook Thank you but I’ve blocked hundreds and it’s impossible to block junk emails that have every letter of the alphabet in them. I just want them to stop coming into my main inbox which is a problem you need to sort with your filters.

  • Deepspeaks_ Deepak (@Deepspeaks_) reported

    @Outlook can't able to sign in as forgot password moreover the email address used while creating Hotmail account is no longer in use..

  • ZooloosBT ZooloosBookTours (@ZooloosBT) reported

    Does anyone else have issues with @gmail blocking all @Outlook emails? It is hard work trying to run a business where you can't get any emails!!! It doesn't help that Gmail offer no support and no one seems to have an answer. I think I will be moving email provider!

  • SkKershaw SK (@SkKershaw) reported

    @tavah316 @Outlook Don't bother. I've been round the houses with their customer support for days, they're no help. Literally thousands of people having this problem!

  • aldhairescobar_ aldhair escobar (@aldhairescobar_) reported

    @arizdesign @Outlook @Microsoft Yeah, that’s the way I’m doing it, the problem is when we have a link and we want the underline showing on it, I found we can use ‘mso-color-alt: auto;’ and with a dark bg in the VML it’s going to work, but gets messy in windows mail app 😣, so I image this is gonna take time 🥲.

  • maxleibman Max Leibman (@maxleibman) reported

    I am *really* digging the new look on @Outlook Online, but the calendar view is unusably slow. Missed clicks, multi-second wait times after each click to see any result, information refreshes very slowly. Feels broken.

  • duke69111 Joshua Adamson (@duke69111) reported

    @outlook how do I stop all of the spam messages from going to my inbox? This started earlier this week. Please fix this. #outlook #hotmail #spam

  • _amaka_o A🦋 (@_amaka_o) reported

  • mqleod Ross McLeod (@mqleod) reported

    @Outlook @WhatsApp I don't know who is responsible but I can't paste from Outlook to WhatsApp on Mac nowadays. Everyone I know has this same specific issue. Tried all the usual stuff like restarting etc.

  • huddie71 Paul Anderson (@huddie71) reported

    Another day, another random problem with @Outlook . Awful, unreliable, poorly tossed together trash. Every version is garbage. Unbelievable how such a widely used application can be so consistently bad in every way. Microsoft just don't care any more.

    @jennyro16558004 @Outlook If your account was hack or disabled, on Instagram you can find some Cybersecurity specialist account NAME @dionysius_helios you can just search him, he is some Cybersecurity specialist in all Account issues recovery it might be of help to you

  • ChloeWhytee Chloe Whyte - Author (@ChloeWhytee) reported

    @Outlook is your email system down at the moment? I’ve not been able to receive any emails today

  • cpltalk (((cpltalk))) (@cpltalk) reported

    From a #usability POV I see a pattern that @outlook (see prev tweets) and @dropbox share in that they failed without any notification and for reasons that remained entirely unclear. To me that points to poor error handling somewhere deep down in their code. #UI #fail

  • davidraisman david raisman (@davidraisman) reported

    @Outlook why can't you clowns leave well enough alone. Every time you make changes, the only thing you do is to cause problems. So why not build a spaceship that would take all of you as far into space as possible? You people are nothing but pests!

    I updated MacOS to 12.6 and now Outlook for Mac won’t sync. @Outlook is there a fix, or solution?

  • imogengoulden 𝕴𝖒𝖔𝖌𝖊𝖓 𝕲𝖍𝖔𝖚𝖑𝖉𝖊𝖓 (@imogengoulden) reported

    Anyone else had issues with @Outlook just giving up on junk filtering? I've had this email address for years and have never had an issue, but suddenly I'm inundated with junk mail despite reporting it.
