  • WilliamBay William Bay (@WilliamBay) reported

    Dear @Microsoft please stop shoving the new @Outlook down my throat. -Old UI is far superior. -There are more columns to sort with (Account column a necessity for me). -Fewer issues adding Gmail accounts. Release a separate Outlook 2022, and leave the current one alone.

    @UrbanMathlete @Outlook I had a synch problem between laptop and iPhone but it got sorted by closing the app and reopening it. It might be an intranet issue or maybe a more local one?

  • CA_22562_AN T:HE:JAMES. HMRH (@CA_22562_AN) reported

    @Outlook @Microsoft @BillGates It is appreciable that Outlook is a free service that supports many people in the world to communicate, do we have to find a new application if OWA is continuously broken?

    It's been 8 years and @Outlook still can't fix signature formatting and Outlook web signature sync on their Android app. If you ask support about it they just ask you to submit feedback. I have been for almost 8 years. Still unusable signatures on Outlook for mobile.

    @Outlook Does Microsoft have a specialist Outlook team in the UK that can be called/e mailed for help and support for problems? As store in London can't help, calling refers me to a website, and finding support online I am bamboozled? Why not make it easy?
