  • Elek03 Alexander Berner (@Elek03) reported

    I'm very frustated by @gmail. We had a hacked account which was quickly fixed. Since one month poor domain reputation. GMail has no support, help or contact option to fix the issue. SPF, DKIM, DMARC everything set up and tested. Even Microsoft @Outlook does it better!

  • SwagNYC Dougie Fresh (@SwagNYC) reported

    @Outlook A communication failure occurred during the delivery of this message. Please try to resend the message later. If the problem continues, contact your email admin.

  • RyanN1621 i draw things, sometimes. (@RyanN1621) reported

    @Outlook is the biggest piece of ****, no customer service number or email, no live chat and they don’t respond to the password reset form email after a month of attempts. All I need to do is clear out my cache but I can’t thanks to how terrible their service is.

  • brownstone1892 Carl Paulsen (@brownstone1892) reported

    @ochostrike @Outlook User error. Never rely on Outlook to send emails...

  • ifrhv3 I. (@ifrhv3) reported

    Locked out of my @Outlook account and the help articles tell me in order to recover my account I have to sign in. FFS. 😩

  • RichardRear Richard Rear (@RichardRear) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook Hi, I’ve received an email telling me my OneDrive will be de-activated if I don’t sign in soon. How can I tell if this is a genuine email before I click on any links in it?

  • samcramerrr sam cramerrr (@samcramerrr) reported

    @Outlook push notifications have completed stopped working on the iOS 15 mail app, been like this for weeks/maybe months. Managed to get push notifications directly from the Outlook app but it's a workaround rather than a fix. Any news?

  • Rasmuschristens Rasmus Christensen 💙 (@Rasmuschristens) reported

    Just want to set up a login for my child to use my laptop in a separate account. Seriously do I need to create a @Outlook account/mail for this? #Windows10

  • vrgnhns VRGNHNS (@vrgnhns) reported

    @Outlook the mail is a complete mess today, you have to fix this asap or never again, "been with you" since the 90s

  • lkleijwegt Leen Kleijwegt (@lkleijwegt) reported

    @Outlook is there a resources problem, i have different clients with the same error!!!

  • ClaudiaWotsits Claudia Watson (@ClaudiaWotsits) reported

    Anybody else having problems receiving emails on their @Outlook account?😖

  • liam_happe Liam Happe (@liam_happe) reported

    @Outlook Fix your junk mail blockers on outlook urgently please. The amount of junk mail and scam emails getting through lately again is nothing short of staggering. It's the worst of all email providers. I get 10 junk emails everyday without fail. Not good enough whatsoever Microsoft!

  • BlondeLogically LogicallyBlonde (@BlondeLogically) reported

    @Outlook Could you perhaps advise why I’m not getting the e-mail response in the 24 hours stated to my other e-Mail address? Why is that process not working? Submitted all the information and then nothing? It’s a bit 💩

  • BlondeLogically LogicallyBlonde (@BlondeLogically) reported

    @Outlook could a human help me please? I have been going round in circles trying to unblock my e-Mail account - I have sausage fingers and typed my password incorrectly. Your virtual help won’t help me unless I can sign in, and I’m not getting a response from the reset process🤪

  • thommck Thom McKiernan ☁️🛡️💻 (@thommck) reported

    @markwilsonit @Outlook Also, reminds me of when I used to install Outlook as a Windows service on a server to send scheduled emails back in the day

  • Jamie619Jamie Jamie (@Jamie619Jamie) reported

    @Outlook I can't sign in to my email account

  • NicolaSargent8 Nicola Sargent (@NicolaSargent8) reported

    @Outlook Appalled by the non existent help from you guys. I have an issue accessing my outlook email and after completing the online form and contacting you via Facebook I have been left with no help and told your service agents can’t help. Poor service.

  • ForgetItJughead State-sanctioned voreaphile (@ForgetItJughead) reported

    @Outlook can you guys fix your **** so I'm not opening new email windows every other sentence and my goddamn spacebar works in your app please instead of bringing up auto-predictors every other word

  • Jamie619Jamie Jamie (@Jamie619Jamie) reported

    @Outlook can't login in to my email account

  • PowersCoke Blue Diamonds (@PowersCoke) reported

    @Outlook Unable to send or recieve emails for multiple days, whats the issue? Cheers.

  • kaclaros Katherine (@kaclaros) reported

    @Outlook please help me fix outlook on my Mac, it won’t let me send/receive emails & my internet research is not helping😭

  • tommipickle Dave (@tommipickle) reported

    @Outlook you really gotta make verification slightly easier, I tried all night to login to my account and I can’t because the alt email I set up is no longer in use. Very frustrating.

  • markwilsonit Mark Wilson 💉💉💉 (@markwilsonit) reported

    @AdamFowler_IT @MaxSanna @Outlook #Viva's advice is just surfacing an old Outlook feature but it's badly named because it doesn't delay delivery (i.e. hold it on the mail server). It delays send (holds it in the sending mail client)

  • meow2008 AnimalLover (@meow2008) reported

    @Outlook Nice of you to mention (NOT) that you changed the outgoing server name. Took me HOURS of effing around to FIGURE THAT OUT.

  • CannabisKerry NorCalWeedGal (@CannabisKerry) reported

    Dang, too bad no one @GoDaddyHelp understands their own technology anymore. Literally 11 hours with them so far to simply sync @Outlook with gmail 😳 AND THEY NEVER SOLVED THE ERROR MESSAGE PROB! Truly unbelievable. #theworst #CustomerExperience #customerservice

  • Mc_Nallers Ian McNally (@Mc_Nallers) reported

    @Outlook Your new fake email thats actually an ad has actually made me turn back on my adblock which had previously been turned off for outlook, terrible idea.

  • VictoriaParnis Victoria Parnis (@VictoriaParnis) reported

    @Outlook hey my outlook is not loading my emails from the 1st January on my app or my server I don’t know how to fix it your trouble shooting page is too complicated

  • tarmizi149 Sarah (@tarmizi149) reported

    @Kylersown12 @Outlook So sorry about that,I have had similar issues like that before,but hintcrack on Instagram helped me out,he’s a genius

  • StephanieBWard_ Stephanie B. Ward (@StephanieBWard_) reported

    For the love of god @Outlook please fix the Ignore button Why are you immediately back like hey!!! you should Double-check!!! I already double-checked and No, I would not like a comma there but this pushy blue underline won’t take No, for an answer

  • Punting4aLiving Punting4aLiving (@Punting4aLiving) reported
