  • jpegert Josh Egert (@jpegert) reported

    @Outlook @RBTK_MX I am experiencing the same issue. Emails are not pushed to my iPhone Outlook app. And some other weird issues with the app.

    @Outlook the business outlook web app (PWA) has started refreshing the app randomly for the past week+. I am on a Mac and I have tried Edge as well as Chrome, and both show the same behavior. Is this a known issue?

  • DarthSn3ak3rs Tom “Dock accident,” Dark Lord of the NIST (@DarthSn3ak3rs) reported

    @TheScottAJones @Outlook Hmm, haven’t done the upgrade yet and this issue pre-dates it. Wonder if it’s an uninstall/reinstall the app kinda thing

  • iNydro PedroGonzalez (@iNydro) reported

    @Outlook what’s going on with the ios15 push notifications? Only way to see if there is new mark is to open and pull down to refresh

  • emclient eM Client (@emclient) reported

    @sivaparvati @peter_jones447 @Outlook Hi, we are sorry for the inconvenience, the connection itself is still secure even without oAuth, just the login method is less secure (but that does not mean there is no security at all). It also seems MS started rolling out a fix today on their servers, thankfully.

  • roxasmemorie Roxasmemorie (@roxasmemorie) reported

    @Outlook is your service down i can’t connect my account to my iphone???

  • sivaparvati sivaparvati PhD💪 (@sivaparvati) reported

    @Outlook Personal account..@emclient says @Outlook broke oAuth so secure import of email gets an error saying they can't communicate securely. I can get all non outlook email.

    @Outlook I'm not receiving emails via my hotmail account. Thankfully, its linked to my gmail account, so I can pick them up there. But that's not the point. It's the hotmail that I use for all my important life admin. Is there a problem with your server?

  • TwoCowsGames Two Cows Games ✈️ WA (@TwoCowsGames) reported

    I got the new iPhone 13 Pro from @AppleSupport and my @Outlook emails will not download. This happened a few weeks ago too. I had to delete and add the email. Except now that fix is not working. "Cannot connect to the server." Please fix this. I need my emails to load.
