  • DBA_Empress Mary L Cottingham (she/her) (@DBA_Empress) reported from Montgomery, New Jersey

    @microsoft... is @Outlook scrambled today or am I personally blessed to have my mail not communicating with my laptop, but working fine on my mobile? Thought I'd check before I sell a piece of my soul to connect to corporate IT, in light of yesterday's Teams outage.

    Dear @MicrosoftTeams, please take your own time in fixing things. Even if it takes a week, we're ok to wait coz a permanent fix is important than time. If possible, please also shutdown @Outlook @Office365 :) #TeamsDown #microsoftteamsdown

  • me_indian common man (@me_indian) reported

    . @Microsoft @hotmail @outlook is a terribly poor slow email. Disgrace to Microsoft.

  • princepandey94 Prince Pandey (@princepandey94) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook Can you help me get (recover) into my Microsoft account? Whenever I login to recover my Microsoft ID, an OTP is sent by Microsoft to my registered mobile number for security check, but whenever I login through that OTP...

  • SmoggyLamb49 SmoggyLamb (@SmoggyLamb49) reported

    Hey @Microsoft! Do you want me to dump this @Outlook app from my Android phone, too!? Then quit asking me to sign in to my Hotmail account every 15 minutes! Where's the option for "keep me signed on"!?

  • Rossykins95 NFCRYP (@Rossykins95) reported

    @Outlook not been able to receive or send an email since Tuesday 19th July - what’s the issue?

  • prettyclapped GG (@prettyclapped) reported

    @Outlook Still not working.

  • Faisalomerz Faisal Mohammed (@Faisalomerz) reported

    @Outlook create a feature to recall emails, just like delete in WhatsApp. The wrong ones sent in error can be miserable.

  • iammrdom oh. so. andrew (@iammrdom) reported from Adelaide, State of South Australia

    @robmckenzieuk @Outlook And you have a Premium account? Tbh I don’t even know why I don’t see the problem.

    What is up with @Outlook for Mac today? The update killed all my signatures, meeting series, etc. Major BUZZKILL and productivity issues today.

  • ftp_alun Alun Jones (@ftp_alun) reported

    @Outlook is so screwed up when it comes to recurring meetings. Moving some occurrences? No problem. Shortening / lengthening the sequence? All occurrences are moved back to their original time. Adding / removing an attendee? All occurrences are moved back to their original time.

  • The_Missi0n TheMissi0n (@The_Missi0n) reported

    Hey @MicrosoftHelps What's up with @Outlook? How do I type up an email for an hour only to have it disappearing without a trace when I click SEND? It was a very important email & now I'm struggling because I have short term memory problems & I can't remember most of its contents

  • whyNoTvandNoNet why-no-tv-nd-no-net (@whyNoTvandNoNet) reported

    @Outlook keeps asking me to login to an email account that i'm already logged into . It also occasionally refuses to accept its password. Fix outlook on the Android app or just bring Hotmail back .

  • MarkVuitton MoneyMark (@MarkVuitton) reported

    @Outlook is Hotmail servers down?

    ******* idiots @Microsoft, what kind of a ******* moron thought an error in ******* @outlook app like "can't download an attachment" would be awesome error information? Why ******** do you constantly behave like idiots? @satyanadella what kind of a ********** are you running?
