    @Outlook guess what guys, it’s time to fix your junk mail filters again. Nothing but spam in my inbox… again!. And while you’re at it. Get rid of the ads on the outlook app because the same junk emails I get are also in the ads with links to phishing sites!.

  • KayDeeinSydney 💉KarenDinMel (@KayDeeinSydney) reported

    @Outlook is there a glitch where accepting an invitation on IPhone doesn’t get to outlook calendar? I am so tired of following up nonresponders who declare they have responded.

  • maulikshah88 maulik shah (@maulikshah88) reported

    @Outlook Gmail is providing quick support to their paid user. While in outlook even after paying I don't find a easy way to contact support or report an issue.

  • PGhatak Pinaki Ghatak (@PGhatak) reported

    @thurrott @Outlook @Microsoft The problem is not technology. The problem lies between the chair and the keyboard. Never had ads in outlook in any flavor of outlook.

  • clagraca Lula, guerrier du peuple brésilien! (@clagraca) reported

    @Outlook @VaeshaDraecon Did they turn off the spam filter? Because I'm getting tons of spam. Fix it!

  • migglewiggles miggle wiggles (@migglewiggles) reported

    @Outlook did I miss an email or something? My Hotmail hasn’t gotten a new email since Tuesday 8/23 and just keeps saying cannot connect to server. Was I supposed to switch before that date or something?

  • Sammy11971Saad ŊΌΌЯ ξêαƝỳ (@Sammy11971Saad) reported

    @Outlook The account and the alternative, the same problem, the validation verification, I contacted you, and there is no benefit from you. I have business, the mail is down, and so is the alternative. I want the manager of the company. Because support is useless❌

  • K_Chateau Kristianchateau 🇺🇦 (@K_Chateau) reported

    @Outlook are you having issues with spam emails atm? As currently all I get is spam and junk emails coming through to mu inbox?

  • mhtjsh Mohit Joshi (@mhtjsh) reported

    @Outlook is redefining IMAP/POP3 by reducing Gmail users by sending impromptu notification of each and every email and making the recall memory for outlook to use more rather than Gmail! @gmail watchout for this, get the server sync fast or else you'll loose customers. @mhtjsh

  • m1359286 mmo (@m1359286) reported

    @Outlook Hi Outlook! I am a M365 admin, Since yesterday evening; our Mac users are having sync issues with their emails, we tried all the solutions but still its not working.

    @Outlook Seems I keep getting kicked out of all my Outlook email accounts (asking me to sign in over and over). Started late yesterday or early this morning. Is it my end or yours...ps I've updated my version of Outlook.

  • nialloconnorweb Niall O'Connor (@nialloconnorweb) reported from Limerick City and County Council, Munster

  • mirandvh 🌻 dandy mandy 🌻 (@mirandvh) reported

  • udprocks190 Lucky (@udprocks190) reported

    @Outlook I am not able to login my account can you please help?

  • RMC59 Big Boy Pete, King of Kindergarten (@RMC59) reported

    @ChrisPaulDesig1 @gmail @Outlook I get /maybe/ 1 or 2 e-mails/month that sneak into my Gmail inbox vs. ~50/week directly into the Junk folder. I do have to look in the folder, tho, for “false positives” that are actually legit. Used Outlook at work w/ very few issues, but that’s w/ multiple protection layers.

  • kayhantolga Tolga Kayhan (@kayhantolga) reported

    Hey @Outlook, Please stop showing notification count on the Junk Email folder. People like me prefer to ignore junk emails but all the time there is a badge showing how many junk emails I haven't deleted yet. Terrible distraction.

  • LokoCrazyJr CowbowSavy (@LokoCrazyJr) reported

    It’s so nice how @Microsoft can’t fix their @Outlook app but yet they blame their customers when their own customers receive scam/spam email constantly. So crazy how their system keeps failing. Maybe I will just take my services to @gmail since they are much better at that

  • yourhouseat2pm Dorian Williams (@yourhouseat2pm) reported

    @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps, Is it possible to switch Outlook accounts and keep all of my subscriptions, purchases, etc? This spam filtering is getting terrible!

  • its10out A-void (@its10out) reported

    @Outlook guys, I pay for Office 365 and ad-free online email - why am I getting so much spam recently? This is something you guys need to fix asap

  • magnus_sandtorv Magnus Sandtorv (@magnus_sandtorv) reported

    Hey @Outlook, the app on iOS has been crashing since the latest iOS update, I’ve cleared browser cache, reset iOS settings, reinstalled the app and all sorts of things, but no luck. Known issue?

  • b33rdy Kieron 🇪🇺 (@b33rdy) reported

    @Outlook your spam filters have been borked for days and days. Any chance of you kicking the server? Take the IT hammer to them…?
