    @Outlook Thank you for your response, @Outlook! Unfortunately the Outlook website is still stuck reloading and does not open my inbox. How can I fix this?

  • csxyzzy ‽ Carl Seiler (@csxyzzy) reported

    Boy, @Outlook web version is making me crazy. Cannot figure out how to scroll down through lots of messages. There doesn't seem to be any way of paging through them. It's this endless bottom scroll of ten messages at a time. If you get twenty or fifty emails a day...

  • lisa_sosa431 Lisa sosa (@lisa_sosa431) reported

    @Outlook Lots of folks are trying to report there is something wrong with your web app. No one has been able to access email through the web since Monday. Just spins... we’re not locked out. Please fix!

  • quasistaticc kleb🐝🏳️‍🌈 June 4th, 1989 was a nice day (@quasistaticc) reported

    @Outlook why CAN I NOT SEND EMAIL. I don't get an error message that my email wasn't set, I don't see the email in my sent folder, or in my drafts folder, and this has happened multiple times in the last few days! I have had to send emails 2-3 times to get them to send!

    @Outlook Login loop. Again. Sigh.

  • MC_Huggins Michelle Huggins (@MC_Huggins) reported

    @HarryPaye @Outlook Yes. @Outlook was fine when I checked my emails on break at work, but since getting home it won't load up on Chrome at all. Seem to still have access on my basic email app on my phone though and can sign into OneDrive without any problems on desktop either. Very strange!
