    @Outlook - Is anyone having issues with outlook? my outlook doesn't seem to load not update and shuts down too??

  • HakemonMike Hakemon Mike (@HakemonMike) reported

    @Outlook we have a problem. My account has been locked supposedly due to recent activity. I recently of course closed out my old email domain which I didn't realize was still a rescue address since my ISP doesn't have its own email. I'm now expected to wait ONE month.

  • marirsv Sri Ram Varadharajan (@marirsv) reported

    @Outlook Thank you for the suggestions and advice, but you have a bug in your system as Security Options work flow is not working. I am available to talk if you want more explanation. Please DM me.

  • VicJisawesome Michael (@VicJisawesome) reported

    @Outlook I’ve sent you multiple tweets. Please answer. I’m very irritated with you right now. Ever since the new iOS update, the app crashes whenever I try to open it. It seems a lot of other people are having this problem too

    @LukaszBromirski @Outlook There are more issues with M356 and Apple Mail - starting from permanent, yet false notification regarding wrong password. Still, it is better than new Outlook for Mac which suddenly doesn't support Exchange Shared Mailboxes ;)

    @johnjoburke17 @Outlook @Office365 You should file a complaint about your Lenovo issue on the Better Business Bureau website. That's the only way someone legitimate from Lenovo will finally hear your issue and actually help you. Good luck!

    @MediumSupport If you had a normal login procedure with an email address and PW and not this bizarre link being sent... I paid for a subscription and can't log in. I can't be the only person with a Hotmail/Outlook email for Medium. @Outlook
