  • TheRealKRobby K-Rob (@TheRealKRobby) reported

    @Outlook @gmail I, like many others who have tweeted you,am finding that my Gmail app will no longer sync with my hotmail account as of 2/21/23. There's clearly a glitch on one of your systems.

    @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook Emails are not loading this morning. No emails received since last night. Looks like @Outlook is having an issue… AGAIN!!

  • LukeK321 L (@LukeK321) reported

    @Outlook I had my Hotmail account synced to both the Gmail and Spark apps on my phone, but for the past 2 days neither of them have been receiving new emails, so I have to use the Outlook app/website instead. Why is this, please? Looking on Twitter, many more have this issue too.

  • gabzfullerton Gabz (@gabzfullerton) reported

    @Outlook my emails aren’t sending or loading. Is your site down?

  • mkristensen Mads Kristensen (@mkristensen) reported

    @Avodovnik @Outlook Every hour. It's the Authenticator app that causes the issue, I think. I'm now using the outlook web app instead. It only requires me to sign in once per day. Sigh...

  • dunnry Ryan Dunn (@dunnry) reported

    @Outlook It's kinda frustrating to DM you to say that it is still happening, only to have you reply it was fixed. It's better for sure, but not fixed at all. I now only get 10 clear phishing attacks per day instead of the 10+ per hour. That's better, but still terrible.

  • rfinglet Randy Fingleton (@rfinglet) reported

    @bdsams This issue has escalated for me within the past month. Even my custom created rules in @Outlook are not catching spam coming from the same email address *geeksquad as if this functionality is not working within the application.

  • rene_M_o rene (@rene_M_o) reported

    @Outlook any reports if there any issues receiving emails.

  • TBat416 Bugs (@TBat416) reported

    @SparkMailApp Is there an issue with @Outlook / Hotmail account synching on iOS apps? My Hotmail hasn't been synching since last week.

  • hthksg Iamme (@hthksg) reported

    @Outlook please advise how to decrypt attachments when s/mime is not working in outlook owa

  • m_landry8 Mike Landry (@m_landry8) reported

    @caitrionakilroy @gmail I'm also having the problem. Pixel6a, went through all the debugging steps. I tried Edison email client as well but doesn't seem to be working there so assuming it has something to do with @Outlook .

  • JayFranciscoDJ Jay Francisco (@JayFranciscoDJ) reported

    Wow 3 days in and my Outlook inbox is full of junk mail, I thought it was just me but now discovered it’s a global issue! Come on @Outlook sort it out! #outlookspam
