    @pauldambra @Outlook I spent most of last week trying to debug cross-domain cookie issues and saw this error a lot... I'd bet you a cookie it's something to do with adblock (or whatever variant you use). There's been a lot of subtle config changes in what they count as 'acceptable trackers' lately

    Anyone know a way to download IMAP mail locally on outlook 365 so it stops syncing - ie take it off the server & store it on my PC ONLY. I don't want to change to POP I just want to download the mail and keep it but not on the server. Gotta be a way @Microsoft @Outlook @Office365

    @Outlook I can't tell you how many times I have selected 'not junk' via the web app and the #emails continue to be marked as junk mail when they come in. Is this a known issue or does it not work that way?

    Hey @Outlook, is there any way to fix this? It would be nice to choose what calendar the opened .ics is going on.

  • SteveSyfuhs Steve Syfuhs (@SteveSyfuhs) reported

    @C016SMITH @Outlook Of course, I have no clue what, nor how to fix it. Sorry. 😬 Would you be willing to submit a feedback hub trace of this the next time it happens? I can't find any known issues reported, so anyone investigating would need logs from a trace to even have a place to start.

  • BrimsonJason jason brimson (@BrimsonJason) reported

  • genevievewicker genevievewicker (@genevievewicker) reported

    @alonbrown @Outlook Sure. Apologies, but these may trickle in. Biggest issue is when scheduling I want to see everyone’s schedules, not just the times available. This allows me to see if I can move a meeting I have scheduled to fit someone else’s schedule. I do this all the time.

  • RothweilerEvent Rothweiler Events (@RothweilerEvent) reported

    WHY IS OUTLOOK SO ******* SLOW ON EVERY DEVICE @Outlook

  • imagewala Imagewala (@imagewala) reported

    What's the problem with @Microsoft not being able to build a decent HTML / CSS decoder for @Outlook ??? Damn thing makes every HTML newsletter look like a disaster, everytime.

  • bobbigmac Bob (@bobbigmac) reported

    @pauldambra @Outlook I think we're at the same point with Chromium (and maybe Gecko too) now as we were when IE was such a mess of software tumours that Firefox basically had to exist to fix some of the problems

  • AmyAWing2023 Amy (@AmyAWing2023) reported

    @Outlook Hey Outlook I recently switched over to your email service from Gmail. I just wanted to say, as someone with OCD and who cannot stand a cluttered inbox, thank you for the "Review Deleted Emails on the Server" feature!! Please never take that away!!!

  • Maria62640456 VeganMaria , #UBI , #RBE , #VenusProject (@Maria62640456) reported

    Stop putting important petitions in the junk folder @Outlook . You also put an email from @TheGreenParty in the junk folder. Fix your system.

  • sam_langers Sam (@sam_langers) reported

    @Outlook is there an issue with outlook atm? As emails are not syncing

  • Mouraddd_ hagop🇦🇲 (@Mouraddd_) reported

    Is microsoft outlook down right now???? @Outlook

  • esteban 𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗯𝗮𝗻 (@esteban) reported

    @Outlook you guys seriously need to fix the usability on the web, clicking "j" sends to the "junk" instead of moving to older messages, also, clicking on the subject doesn't guarantee you are opening an email, you might be deleting that by accident.
