    Hey @Microsoft @Outlook why search function in iOS for outlook can’t even show a fraction of the actual email that I have? Why even Apple default mail app perform search better than your app? This is, frankly speaking, an outrageous problem and you should be ashamed of yourself.

  • TakeOffThomas Special Scene Canon (@TakeOffThomas) reported

    @Outlook is a terrible email service. Why in God’s name would you place an interview email in junk? I have no filters placed on incoming emails. This is unacceptable.

  • jongleur1983 Peter Amrehn (@jongleur1983) reported

    Why is it that hard to share ownership of a meeting? Once in a while a problem in @Outlook as well as in @Zoom as it looks like. A meeting might have a single host, but it might be a meeting of peers as well.

    @Outlook @MSLauncher it would be nice if you could fix the annoying crash of the Launcher caused by the Outook app and fix the notification. Both worked until a few weeks ago when the Launcher started constantly crashing when I started Outlook.

  • tthrash Tom Thrash (@tthrash) reported

    Dear @Outlook If you really think "without waiting for them answer" is more syntactically sound than "waiting for their answer," we've got a problem... Thanks, A Microsoft subscriber

  • shep shep (@shep) reported

    My @outlook keeps bringing up the sign in window only to then disappear immediately. Opened ticket(s) with Microsoft and they are not helpful. Had to revert to Legacy Outlook because they can't figure it out. Only happens in Outlook. Internet connection 100% stable.

  • ToddlerPixie Princess Shimmer | Besties with Unicorns (@ToddlerPixie) reported

    @Outlook are you having issues because my personal email and work email are not working. What's happening, my people?

    . @Outlook absolutely ridiculous. how are you blocking me from my account and then rejecting me each time i try and send a code to verify my details. a constant loop. I'm sick of it. I need my account back. 10 years with Gmail and I've never had this issue.

  • TheJellicoe Tapestry (@TheJellicoe) reported
