  • donttreadbub Mitch (@donttreadbub) reported

    Outlook 365 is such a joke. The sheer hours wasted by IT professionals dealing with @Outlook issues on a daily basis must be off the charts.

  • Lady_Crunk Olwethu-Thando Klaas (@Lady_Crunk) reported

    What's wrong with you @Outlook @Microsoft365 @Microsoft ? WHY HAS LOGGING IN TO EMAIL INBOXES ON WEB BECOME EXPONENTIALLY HARDER THE LAST FEW MONTHS?! F*cking fix it!

  • bambishim 링 (@bambishim) reported

    What is @Outlook doing?! Fix your browser log-in. The app is doing fine. @MicrosoftHelps @Microsoft

  • amitsinha249 Amit Sinha (@amitsinha249) reported

    @Outlook The issue STILL isn't resolved! And all I'm getting from your end is the same copy-paste response over and over.

  • SiliconShecky Shecky - Just me, Ninja Warrior (@SiliconShecky) reported

    Microsoft Outlook on Android notifications are broken. How? You keep getting them after you swipe them away and show up wrong anyway. @Microsoft @Office @Outlook

  • rypatt31 Ryan (@rypatt31) reported

    @Outlook every time I send a email it says it's a draft even when it sends still says draft please fix this

  • LaVidaLightning 🇺🇲Corporal Rink Rat🏒⚡🎮🍺 🏴‍☠️ 🇮🇪 roots (@LaVidaLightning) reported

    In the @Outlook app, contacting support for your broken app. Says average wait time in chat is 21 minutes. Been waiting 2 and a half hours so far. Great support. Did you guys forget you offer support through chat?

  • VanHelSiingh Bəäŕđĕď Đřåğøñ (@VanHelSiingh) reported

    Microsoft need to do something about hackers. Nowadays I cant even sign in to a new device because "you've sued an incorrect account or password too many times" when its just technology and hackers... @Outlook

  • Sam_Alexandra23 Stephanie Alexandra (@Sam_Alexandra23) reported

    @Outlook Can't open or sign into my Hotmail account on my laptop but it's weird because it just keeps going to the home page over and over again when clicking the "sign in" box! What's going on??? Extremely frustrated!

  • jasonshifrin jason marc shifrin (@jasonshifrin) reported

    @Outlook how can a company your size not have any way of contacting you directly when I have a major problem with my email account? Absolutely outrageous

  • kurvequeen killluh. (@kurvequeen) reported

    @BallNisMyHobby @Outlook The update is absolutely horrific. I cant find anything. Forwarding dont mean attachments are attached. Just terrible

  • AmyLynnOrg Amy Lynn (@AmyLynnOrg) reported

    I highly suggest after your last "crash" that you lied about that indeed happened 2 weekish ago.. you fix the spam filter. Many legit BIG name companies you keep marking as spam/junk. I wonder if they can sue... @Outlook @MSFT365Status @MicrosoftHelps And don't reply with BS about me setting up filters when I already have them and you ignore them. Wasn't an issue till about 2 weeks ago. But I'm 100% sure you are going to lie and reply. I'm a computer geek, save your lies for someone else.

  • SniffDown Marko (@SniffDown) reported

    @AnneMcGarryMars @Outlook It’s concerning how easily customer accounts can get locked for trivial reasons. If you’re facing this issue, consider seeking assistance from a trusted professional Ben_cybersecurity on instagram he’s specializes in account recovery

  • Forseer65 Michael F (@Forseer65) reported

    Hey @Microsoft @Outlook, your mobile app is trash. Can't handle emails over 5MB? It's 2025, not dial-up days. Time to fix your broken mess. Embarrassing.

  • amitsinha249 Amit Sinha (@amitsinha249) reported

    @Outlook @MicrosoftIndia Kindly addresses this issue as a priority. All my important files are stored on Onedrive.

  • Depoetic 💙 Depoetic (@Depoetic) reported

    @Microsoft @Outlook You want me... a home-bound disabled senior that doesn't own a smart phone and only has a PC with a long broken camera feature - to sign into my Hotmail with a smart phone pointed at my face? C'mon people.

  • HillehomeV Hillehome Videos (@HillehomeV) reported

    @Outlook Is there some kind of outage I don't know about? I can't send, receive, or even delete emails in app or in browser. No, my storage is not full.

  • mhinic_ Mare  #ljetogrozna (@mhinic_) reported

    @Outlook New Outlook for Windows suck ! It's slow, ugly, major features missing, not syncing with w calendar on task bar.... i want mail app back for good

  • zort70 Ian Knight (@zort70) reported

    Question is whether this is an @outlook / @Microsoft issue or our issue, can't see a way to determine the true time as the saved file doesn't have any clue as to what it should be and we can't assume that every email file is one hour out 4/end

  • Lunares_Ole Lunares Olé (@Lunares_Ole) reported

    @3b3zem_aly @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps I have the same problem!!! Frustrating!!!

  • SC_Gracie America First JanieB (@SC_Gracie) reported

    @KathleendeMaCa2 @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps is not "helpful". Our business has been disrupted by ongoing issues with Exchange and they don't seem to care. I'm beyond frustrated with #Microsoft365

  • TheJoeWoo Joe "JoeWoo" Rychalsky (@TheJoeWoo) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook @Microsoft it looks like outlook or exchange is down or very slow. I called my email provider and it looks like there are server issues on Microsoft ‘s end.

  • tpat_eth tp₳t (@tpat_eth) reported

    how convenient ... s/o @Microsoft @Outlook - email down fam

  • donttreadbub Mitch (@donttreadbub) reported

    @Outlook @BillGates From overzealous spam filters, to the need for an authenticator app, to terrible UI, what a trash product. Probably great for IT guys that bill hourly and fix things that shouldn't break.

  • kerasinee R3D 8 🉐 (@kerasinee) reported

    @Outlook I need help. I don't understand why when I try to log in to my accounts and Xbox I get this message: "Error: Please retry with a different device, use a VPN, or other authentication method to sign in."

  • BenMurphyF35 Ben Murphy (@BenMurphyF35) reported

    @Outlook Hi, so I’ve been logged out of my Outlook account, it’s asked me to reset my password but when I do from my phone it doesn’t let me. How can I fix this? I sorta need to get into my emails.

  • HillehomeV Hillehome Videos (@HillehomeV) reported

    @Outlook None of those things work. The problem is on all my devices whether using the browser or app. I'm wanting to chat with support, but I can't seem to get to a real person. What hours is chat available?

  • zort70 Ian Knight (@zort70) reported

    Slightly odd @microsoft @Outlook issue, one for the testing nerds. We are loading saved outlook emails into our system, but the time we extract doesn't match the time on screen in outlook 1/n

  • wstaelens Wouter Staelens (@wstaelens) reported

    hmm @Outlook down?
