  • sympmarc Marc D Anderson (@sympmarc) reported

    @pjbryant Thanks! The problem is when an email contains a link to download the ICS. The ICS file is downloaded in Edge, and then I’ve never been able to figure out where to go from there. (Yes, I’m a good boy and I use @Outlook and @MicrosoftEdge as my defaults.)

  • chikejoel2 chike joel (@chikejoel2) reported

    @waxupbsas @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps I had similar issue but the support service wasn't helpful not until I was referred to julia_codingdev Instagram who helped me in getting back my asset. She is helpful

  • 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?

  • tammiew tamara wall (@tammiew) reported

    @Outlook @EllenRedd I’m having the same problem and when I click on that link it sends me to a link I can’t open ?!!

  • JunaidD17069563 JunaidD (@JunaidD17069563) reported

    @Outlook Please fix Email Search issue in Desktop app for windows11. Frustrating to update on Windows 11. @Windows No recent email showing.

  • noraltavir Alexander Nozik (@noraltavir) reported

    After several years switched back from @Outlook to @mozthunderbird. Outlook has much better UI and web integration, but the lack of effort to fix known bugs and produce integration with other services is frustrating. Nobody uses just one ecosystem nowadays.

  • FreddyFuentes Freddy Fuentes (@FreddyFuentes) reported

    @Outlook Hello, the issue has not appeared since i reported it, note that I did not have a way to report a problem from the app at the time, which lead to the tweet. Would be good (especially before it reaches GA) to have that option baked into the error screens.

  • AmbersBakenCake Amber Cox (@AmbersBakenCake) reported

    Anyone else have an issue with creating an @Outlook email address? I've been round the "I'm not a robot" puzzles over 10 times and it's still not letting me in 😭😭 I'm not a robot!

  • 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.

    Every time I open the @Outlook app on Android now theres an ad at the top pretending to be an email. What a terrible update.

  • squash60 JanetK 🇺🇦🌻 (@squash60) reported

    @N_OOTPinguwalda @DanJonesOcean @Outlook I barely open Teams these days and if I have to I shut it down within nanoseconds. Makes me twitch!

  • 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…?

  • WayneEGallagher Wayne Gallagher (@WayneEGallagher) reported

    @ThreeCare I’ve been onto ye all evening about adding the sim to my account. Ye told me @Outlook doesn’t work to use a @gmail and still that not working. Can anyone help like?

  • Sammy11971Saad ŊΌΌЯ ξêαƝỳ (@Sammy11971Saad) reported

    @Outlook I have been writing to you for a while, but to no avail or benefit. I have business and it is suspended because of the account and the alternative is the same problem. Validation. How do I recover an account and the alternative is the same problem, unfortunately,

  • TimPendry Tim Pendry (@TimPendry) reported

    Three hours with a specialist and still no resolution to the @Microsoft @WindowsUK @Outlook problem after yet another bloody 'security' update ... this happens far too many times.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • DJEric213 DJ Eric (@DJEric213) reported

    @Outlook, Hey I am having issues getting into my email as the password I have for it is the right one, but I get the "incorrect password" error message! PLEASE HELP as it's my email I use for PayPal

  • kjb_cpa Kyle J. Bauman, CPA (@kjb_cpa) reported

    MS @Outlook just told me it doesn’t trust the @MicrosoftTeams add-in and disabled it upon start up. I just feel like that’s a personal issue that #Microsoft should be sorting out amongst itself. I don’t need to be brought into that drama.

  • civiltalker Dr Michelle Cain (@civiltalker) reported

    @DanJonesOcean @Outlook Glad it's not just me. I feel like I can't handle my email anymore, but I can't tell if it's me or Outlook. Given I never had any issues with Thunderbird, I guess it might well be Outlook...

  • tammiew tamara wall (@tammiew) reported

    @obd1996 @Outlook I’m having the same issue and @Outlook are a nightmare to communicate with!? The irony
