    Is anyone else sick to death of the rendering capabilties of the @Outlook client whilst living in a world of @Office365 Actionable AdaptiveCards. There are updates to this client all the time, but this is key to progress of 365/PowerPlatform and its dragging the side down :(

  • rbo_ne Rudolph Bott (@rbo_ne) reported

    @martinkrafft @Outlook Actually Microsoft email services finally got me to stop running email services myself. I had on and off problems for more than two years and nothing seemed to help :(

  • N1cks Nicks (@N1cks) reported

    @adamkranitz @Outlook Yes!! Pleased it's not just me. FYI reinstalling the app & re-adding accounts does not fix this issue. Hope @MicrosoftHelps sorts this soon. Outlook previews are part of my workflow.

  • NiksDavid Nikhil David (@NiksDavid) reported

    @Microsoft @Outlook is there a way to contact customer support? I have been trying for days. If my issue is not on the drop-down will I not get the support? Your customer support is turning my hopes down.

    @Outlook the search functionality is disappointing and frustrating this week. Every time I search in a current folder it gives me results from other folders. Is this problem being addressed?

  • drorhanerdem Orhan E (@drorhanerdem) reported

    @isaeminhafalir @Outlook Agreed. When you search for “A and B”, it searches for the word “and”. Terrible.

  • martinkrafft martin ➬ (@martinkrafft) reported

    Landed on @Outlook SMTP blacklists due to a stupid error on my behalf. Filed ticket with #Microsoft, following documented procedure. Got response in less than 6 hours. Had block removed in less than 24 hours. Never thought I'd say this, but: well done, Microsoft! #sysadmin

  • RealWorldKitt The Dog (@RealWorldKitt) reported

    @Outlook you need to fix your servers. This has been going on for far too long and now I am losing money because I am unable to receive important emails. - Should this continue, a lawsuit will be in order and I will be forced to take @Microsoft to court.

  • Nick_Searles Rap name O.W.D. - Old White Dude (@Nick_Searles) reported

    @Outlook Question: In my Samsung phone the app, which I've had forever, wants me to create a new account or add one. Won't let me sign in. What's up? Thanks.

  • 2petcat Matthew (@2petcat) reported

  • AdamVanBavel Adam Van Bavel (@AdamVanBavel) reported

    @Outlook I've been locked out of my account. It says until near the end of the month and the options given to access before that... 1) Mobile app link broken. 2) Browser link never sent code - asking for too much info also. Help! #CustomerExperience #Email #CyberSecurity

  • alihaidersays 🇵🇸 (@alihaidersays) reported

    @Outlook Is it possible to (completely) disable autocorrect? The main issue I’m having is when typing out chess moves, outlook will always change the first letter of a sentence from lowercase to uppercase, forcing me to backspace and type again (no change the second time). Help

  • RealWorldKitt The Dog (@RealWorldKitt) reported

  • MarkELacey Mark Lacey 🇬🇧 🇹🇭 🐔 (@MarkELacey) reported

    @MicrosoftTeams Thanks. FYI the issue was when I registered I got two usernames, one @outlook and one @onmicrosoft.com each with a password. The .onmicrosoft username wouldn't work with the password I'd saved so the verification code didn't work but the outlook username and password got me in.
