    @Outlook Hi I’m am experiencing terrible customer service from one of your agents in attempt to recover a password for an account I have had access to for over 10 years. The agent actually had the audacity to tell me just create a NEW ACCOUNT 😤😡

  • GreatNorthSnark GreatNorthernSnark (@GreatNorthSnark) reported

    @Outlook -- was on leave for a month, came back to O365 with a full inbox. I've been deleting for HOURS, and made less than a GB of progress; everything else on Earth can delete lickety-split, why does your product have trouble with this simple task? @Microsoft #waiting #tech

  • dilaragunemre Dilara (@dilaragunemre) reported

    Anyone working on the outage? Please solve this issue asap! @Outlook

  • argylsa Emiliano Cardinale (@argylsa) reported

    @DJ_Byrd @diegoloayza @Outlook Nope, the only thing i found is that TLS 1.2 has to be enabled on the exchange server. I have the 2007 and it does not have that option aparently. I asked support if this was true or not... no response

  • DJ_Byrd DJ Byrd (@DJ_Byrd) reported

    @argylsa @diegoloayza @Outlook So far we are the only 3 people in the world I can find having this issue...but it can not be a coincidence

  • DJ_Byrd DJ Byrd (@DJ_Byrd) reported

    @argylsa @diegoloayza @Outlook Anyone find a solution on this issue yet?

  • DJ_Byrd DJ Byrd (@DJ_Byrd) reported

    @diegoloayza @argylsa @Outlook Yes. Reinstalls, Network Settings Reset on the iPhone. Only thing I have not been able to do is do anything changes to Exchange server. But nothing changed on the exchange server as far as I know or have been told

  • stefann42 Ștefan Negrițoiu (@stefann42) reported

    @RossSmithIV @Outlook Inability to switch accounts causes inadvertent problem: I'm using Craigslist on mobile and respond to ad via email. Outlook opens with the canned text. But since my work account is set as default and I can't switch to personal acct, it forces me to respond from the wrong email😒

  • Morriso82076179 Morrison John (@Morriso82076179) reported

    @Etiz12 @Outlook Try contacting this guy @harry_perrel on Twitter he's good he was referred to me when I had issues with my account ... I think he can help you out

  • AkatukundaIsaac Akatukunda Isaac (@AkatukundaIsaac) reported

    @Outlook is currently OFF whats the issue

  • LiamBCreative Liam Banks (@LiamBCreative) reported

    @Outlook I am having trouble trying to unlock my mums email account with you - we no longer have the phone number listed for verification and the online verification tool is just coming back as unsuccessful - we have been locked out for 3 days now

  • diegoloayza Diego Loayza (@diegoloayza) reported

    @Outlook Tagging @AppleSupport if they can help with this issue

  • cymumtaz C. Yusuf Mumtaz (@cymumtaz) reported

    New problem with @Outlook for #Android: error where email draft recipients are added/ removed in IMAP accounts. Can't send emails from IMAP!

  • yulia_bulgakova Yulia (@yulia_bulgakova) reported

    Microsoft, please have a bit of compassion towards your users and fix your form, there is clearly something wrong with it 🙏🙏🙏 or at least give an option to speak to real people who can assist over the phone.. and not another phone bot 😭 @MicrosoftHelps @msftsecurity @Outlook

  • Steam3D Aleksandr (@Steam3D) reported

    @Outlook is down. When will it work?

  • ultragrrl Hopeful J 😷 💉 (@ultragrrl) reported

    I set up a delayed send for my Outlook outbox. It’s been great so I can catch any mistakes. Problem is I cannot set a timer for a full Send so the messages sit in it. I’ve read the product support pages. I’ve tried multiple settings and nothing works. This can be bad. @Outlook?

  • dilaragunemre Dilara (@dilaragunemre) reported

    @Outlook Anyone working on the outage? Pls solve this issue asap!

  • iam_hameedvr Hameed (@iam_hameedvr) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps Your product need to test again by the QA team otherwise this issue will happen to other one definitely ! For your information, with that form no one can retrive their account Totally waste of time! @Outlook

  • RossSmithIV Ross Smith IV (@RossSmithIV) reported

    @stefann42 @Outlook Yeah, intent with the content is not known, so the APP errs on the side of caution if the admin has enabled the data restrictions. You could set the default account to be personal, but then you have the opposite problem of having to remember to set the correct acct when sending.

  • damuffinman damuffinman (@damuffinman) reported

    Is anyone else having issues with their @outlook app on mobile?

  • orchid8 Sarah Vela (@orchid8) reported

    @LPVhouse @MicrosoftTeams @Outlook also, the GIFs are terrible.

  • sparkitup75 Mal S (@sparkitup75) reported

    @Outlook is outlook not working currently, I tried on app and browser and getting nothing at all?

  • _DanielWep Daniel Weppeler (@_DanielWep) reported

    @RossSmithIV @Outlook @IntuneSuppTeam Thx, I know this option, but when users use the save contacts feature, all your org data/contacts are saved in the local iOS contacts app. What does it mean? Users who use Whatsapp will automatically sync org data/contacts to Whatsapp. This breaks the EU #GPDR that‘s the issue.

  • SJBlackTweets Stuart Black (@SJBlackTweets) reported

    @EposVox @Outlook search is utterly useless. I use the desktop client to manage 6 different addresses and can NEVER find the message I want. The app is also generally very buggy and slow.

  • YeahRrrrright YeahRrrrright (@YeahRrrrright) reported

    Why @Outlook can't filter a single spam email, yet managed to make me almost miss a raffle I won and now it put an email with a job offer in to junk... Is it a retaliation for all the tweeting about touch input issues I point out in @MicrosoftEdge and @Windows?

  • ljsimpson2003 Nathan Simpson (@ljsimpson2003) reported

    @Outlook can you please sort out this wired glitch that is happening where I’m apparently getting people to reset their outlook passwords?

  • Dad2JTK Francis Kowal (@Dad2JTK) reported

    @Outlook what kind of problem are you having with authentication and syncing email on Outlook app on Android / Note10+. Stopped syncing like 3 days ago, removed accounts, clean data and cache. Can't authenticate.

  • DJ_Byrd DJ Byrd (@DJ_Byrd) reported

    @argylsa @diegoloayza @Outlook Has anyone been able to find anyone on other forums or support communities working this issue?

  • DJ_Byrd DJ Byrd (@DJ_Byrd) reported

    @diegoloayza @argylsa @Outlook I also have this issue on both my iPhone and iPad.
