    I love how the "light" mode of web based outlook is basically broken compared to "dark". No item selection background colour or read/unread feedback. @Outlook #fail.

  • english_august Vikas Chowdhry (@english_august) reported from Southlake, Texas

    @NormaPadron_ No you aren’t. I’m surprised that @Outlook has not done anything to fix this mess.

  • PapaMashike Papa Yuki (@PapaMashike) reported

    @Outlook i am having nothing but issues with the web page to use my email .... i can not get rid of the spam mail i flag as spam as it keeps popping back seconds after i remove them as well as at times i get rebounding logging's. i am not sure if you have given up updating the web page

  • MC_Huggins Michelle Huggins (@MC_Huggins) reported

    @HarryPaye @Outlook Yes. @Outlook was fine when I checked my emails on break at work, but since getting home it won't load up on Chrome at all. Seem to still have access on my basic email app on my phone though and can sign into OneDrive without any problems on desktop either. Very strange!

  • alonbrown Alon Brown (@alonbrown) reported

    @bobcats9498 @Outlook We've had some issues with Contact Support but we think they're fixed now. If you're still seeing issues, we'd like to know so that we can investigate further.

    @Outlook Hello there. The update for iPhone get the worst. Cannot load the text and mail properly, type is very heavy, and it doesn’t load the mail quickly even I am connected to the WiFi. Hope you look into this issue.

    @Outlook 503 error when entering site?

  • hooksnbooks Erika Imranyi (@hooksnbooks) reported

    .@Outlook needs a “like” function that allows you to acknowledge receipt of an email without having to full-on reply. I bet that would solve a lot of our email volume/confirm receipt problems.

  • HarryPaye Harry P.a.y.e (@HarryPaye) reported

    Anyone else having a problem with @Outlook e-mails?

  • EternalZeldaFan Krysten Helka (@EternalZeldaFan) reported

    My @Outlook isn't working on Google Chrome, so I either have to use my phone or Internet Explorer (yes, you read that right). It's kind of a pain in the ***... Why isn't it working on Chrome? I seem to be the only one having problems...

  • Sur94prise Roxy (@Sur94prise) reported

    @Outlook it's been like a week since the recipient of my emails is getting them later then they were send by me. What's the problem?

    @ObscurelyNikki @Outlook Yup. They think it's jus a glitch, though more than one person has had it happened.

  • pieeatingchamp Chris (@pieeatingchamp) reported

  • ashley_hynd Ashley Hynd (@ashley_hynd) reported

    @Outlook I just tried to contact you to sort an issue with my hotmail & can only contact you if I enter my phone number, that's some sh*t customer service right there, I shouldn't have to enter my personal phone number to send you a pm

  • 16jellyfish Ruthie (@16jellyfish) reported

    Among all of the service/cost problems with @cox the most frustrating is there inability maintain access to @Outlook Email system. Went along fine for years and now it just fails.
