  • space_hey SpaceHey (@space_hey) reported

    @MayorOfEarth @AnTheMaker @Outlook This should've been only a temporary glitch back then! If you want, you can change your email address in your Account settings now!

  • lynngr Lynn Greiner (@lynngr) reported

    @msonenote @Outlook Must try it. But can you explain why my MS 365 OneNote tells me to sign in to sync my notebook when I'm clearly already signed in? Is it losing its little electronic mind?

  • tyroleanlass Katherine Bowyer (@tyroleanlass) reported

    Install update, and, bang! @Outlook crashes again and again. Anyone else having the same problem? #microsoftoutlook #crash

  • Nemesis4All 🇨🇦 Sauron (@Nemesis4All) reported

    @Outlook It works now. The website kept loading for some reason without giving you access to the sign in page. But as of now it works fine. Thank you!

  • DeneishaCall deneisha (@DeneishaCall) reported

    @Outlook please help me reset and login. I think my account has been hacked.

  • m_in_m Martin Chapman (@m_in_m) reported

    @Scott_Helme @Outlook @Ghost It sounds like you might get a similar issue witj anyone using Mimecast if the links are valid once only.

  • nessundorma214 Ashley Jones (@nessundorma214) reported

    Gonna flip some tables on @Outlook. User error perhaps, but who the heck *intends* to reply to just themselves in an email? Just send an email to the person that I am clearly trying to communicate with ffs. Gmail figured it out, just saying. #Outlook

  • Scott_Helme Scott Helme (@Scott_Helme) reported

    @SimonZerafa @TryGhost @Outlook The problem is I want to push the new subscribe feature but not if it isn't going to work for a bunch of people :(

  • kkmett Keith Kmett (@kkmett) reported from West Des Moines, Iowa

    Hey @Outlook did you know you keep crashing after your latest release? I open the app and it shuts down. Reinstalled the app and it worked for about 30 minutes now back to same coding on open. Device iPhone Xs, iOS 14.3

  • phillbraco Phill (@phillbraco) reported

    @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps I have been locked out my account and any help keeps telling me to login to my account I want to speak to a real person and not automated messages as they all tell me to login to my account to get help

  • GeekTieGuy Oluf Nissen (@GeekTieGuy) reported

    @berniemaloney @Outlook Say what? I didn't know it has that. But yes, like that. To bad Microsoft Outlook is the de facto system in so many companies. It's a slow-moving 500 pound gorilla.

  • mha1der Mario Haider (@mha1der) reported

    @alonbrown @THEKyleMoffatt @Outlook The new outlook search seems to have some bugs. IP addresses are no longer found in some HTML emails - this affects the new Outlook client and Outlook Web. The same search works with the old macOS Outlook client. Please fix.

  • gazalucci Garry Deverell (@gazalucci) reported

    @tyroleanlass @Outlook Does it happen with other MS 365 apps? Word? Powerpoint? Excel? If it does, I may be able to help as I’ve been through that myself recently. If the problem is only with Outlook, that will be something different.

  • Im_Mike_Y MikeY (@Im_Mike_Y) reported

    @tyroleanlass @Outlook are you using an ios device? I'm having the same issue

  • JodieStafford18 Jodie Stafford (@JodieStafford18) reported

    @Outlook HELP!!! Hi I need to recover a really old email address the recovery form is not working for me please help! HELP

  • paulcourt101 Paul (aka Gargoyle) (@paulcourt101) reported

    @Scott_Helme @TryGhost @Outlook Ran into a similar problem a few years ago with some single-use links that were emailed out to users. I think we ended up blacklisting a handful of user agents like sendgrid, hotmail link parser, mailchimp, etc.

  • wademichael22 wade (@wademichael22) reported

    @Outlook I am trying to log on to my school email from Texas A&M University San Antonio ( we use Outlook ). I'm using my Lenovo Yoga laptop. I've never had problems prior to yesterday, but it is now saying my account or password are incorrect ( both of which are false. ) Used daily !

  • SimonZerafa Simon Zerafa (@SimonZerafa) reported from Haverfordwest, Wales

    @Scott_Helme @TryGhost @Outlook Sure. However if that 'fixes' the issue then perhaps there is some way that the Outlook backend could mitigate the problem?

  • IlariaScagnoli Ilaria Scagnoli (@IlariaScagnoli) reported

    @msonenote @Outlook Help i don't have possibile to sign in on my email. I have verificated my account, but don't have a possibile to sign in! I have the necessity...please help me...😫

  • HazMat79 HazMat 79 (@HazMat79) reported

    Is @Outlook having issues with contact lists? It isn't populating the to address with any of my contact lists at the moment and this is incredibly annoying

  • GeekTieGuy Oluf Nissen (@GeekTieGuy) reported

    @berniemaloney @Outlook Oh well spelling error. Thanks Twitter, for not letting me edit tweets.

  • Mr_CPettit Mr_CPettit (@Mr_CPettit) reported

    @Outlook - the new iOS update has led to outlook crashing the moment it opens. From Twitter it looks like this is happening to others....I have an iPhone XR. A quick fix would be great as it’s impacting work.

  • _pallavibajaj pallavi (@_pallavibajaj) reported

    @Outlook why did you mess the search function in recent update? Made it terrible complicated our life further!

  • gamergeeksnz Gamers Geek NZ (@gamergeeksnz) reported

    OMG I've been looking into this #uceprotect thing and it's so broken, they often nuke entire data centres (i'm guessing for the blackmail protection money). @Outlook and #hotmail is so broken by using uceprotect in it's current fashion, seriously all move to @gmail

  • LVLollyPopKid Bill S. Preston, Esq. (@LVLollyPopKid) reported

    Update: after bringing the computer home.... It’s down to 92k unread emails in the inbox. By the time I’m done, there will only be 18 months of emails on @Outlook

  • MisutaaUrufu 🏳️‍⚧️|ミスター・ウルフ|Misutā Urufu (@MisutaaUrufu) reported

    The only account that has access to my passwords is my Apple ID and that is secured with 2FA as well and notifies me on all my devices when something new tries to log on. So, uh, what? /How is my email password being repeatedly broken?/ @Outlook y'all got problems.

  • wademichael22 wade (@wademichael22) reported

    @Outlook is there an outage with the server ?! I can't get into my personal Outlook account, or my school Outlook account. I was able to last night, but I can't get into either account right now.

  • minipasila minipasila rip 🇭🇰 (@minipasila) reported

    Can @Outlook like fix their shitty filters so I don't have to constantly report phishing scams getting through them?

  • IlariaScagnoli Ilaria Scagnoli (@IlariaScagnoli) reported

    @Outlook Help i don't have possibile to sign in on my email. I have verificated my account, but don't have a possibile to sign in! I have the necessity...please help me...😫

  • jwd531 JW DePriest (@jwd531) reported

    @Outlook , I sent a DM. Having issues with junk mail. I'm not sure if Outlook stopped its own filtering, but I am having issues lately. Thanks.
