Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • RyanSpooner14 Ryan Spooner (@RyanSpooner14) reported

    @Outlook On the Windows desktop Outlook client, please can you remove the block that prevents you adding two accounts with the same email address. It's a big issue and means I can't add my live on prem mailbox, and my testing Office 365 mailbox at the same time.

  • SamGoodhand Sam Goodhand (@SamGoodhand) reported

    Has anybody actually broken it to @Outlook NHS mail that their “upgrade” has succeeded in turning an OK program into one of the clunkiest pieces of NHS IT shite seen in a generation? And let’s be clear - the competition is stiff.

  • MPierreLachance Pierre Lachance (@MPierreLachance) reported

    @Outlook I have personally found the solution to this problem, I would have liked to talk to a human, not read forms with no help. Plus, it looks like you think everyone has a cell phone, they don't! I don't have one, the person I'm helping doesn't. we're not the only ones. good day

  • Dion_Kubicki Dion Kubicki (@Dion_Kubicki) reported

    Any other iPhone users keep getting asked to re-enter their @Outlook passwords CONSTANTLY?! So annoying, please sort the issue out! #outlook

  • phillipsdaz Darren phillips (@phillipsdaz) reported

    @em_darshan @Outlook I think it’s an iOS issue. Hopefully get an update soon to fix this.

  • Jamiedaviisx 𝗝𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗲𝗗𝗮𝘃𝗶𝘀 ☻︎ (@Jamiedaviisx) reported from Rochester, England

    @brionypattison_ @AppleSupport @Outlook I did the same hoping it would fix it but no luck! It’s every time I check my emails now, so frustrating!🙃

  • rb1963j Robin Brecher (@rb1963j) reported

    @Outlook Disappointed with failure of outlook to work properly on my phone which is causing an issue with my job. Waiting days for substantive help from MS. Every day delayed is more inconvenience and more work trouble. Why can I not get a clear, complete and concise answer?

  • traitken RVAthleticsFan (@traitken) reported

    @Outlook what is wrong with you system it is running so slow. Could fix the damn thing?

  • centurygirl19 Victoria (@centurygirl19) reported

    @Outlook Thanks, but a bit confused - the update page you linked to says “We have not seen any further recurrence of the issue and our telemetry indicates that the service continues to remain healthy” which clearly isn’t the case as my Mail App continually asks me to reenter the password?

  • M4SM17CH Frans (@M4SM17CH) reported

    @Outlook I'm having trouble receiving emails, been for a while. I'm past frustration, way beyond breaking point. Different day same issue. If not you it's @EAHelp, if not EA it's you. What's going on? Is anybody hearing my cries?

  • mrchrisfloyd chris floyd (@mrchrisfloyd) reported

    @iBolShe It’s not Apple. It’s @Outlook. Loads of people had these issues

  • jwckauman James Auman (@jwckauman) reported

    @thurrott @Microsoft @Outlook thanks. been wondering if Exchange Online would make sense for us (we use on-prem Exchange Server) and was worried that all this talk about MS dropping the ball included enterprise mail services.

  • DaddyPudding85 Deano (@DaddyPudding85) reported

    @Outlook why do I have to re enter my passwords on an almost daily basis? It's an issue that only seems to happen on my @Apple products. Its really really really annoying. Don't have the same problem on my android devices.

  • inmaterichard Richard C Law (@inmaterichard) reported

    @Outlook The issue is with the Mail app on my iPhone. Are you referring to the help and settings on iPhone?

  • charlenegarner charlene garner 💜 (@charlenegarner) reported from Bognor Regis, England

    @Outlook please fix the issue with your app. It’s frustrating having to re sign in every day! Especially when a work email is attached to it as with covid a lot of people are working from home and have more than one email attached.

  • Leumas_7_ Samuel Ball* (@Leumas_7_) reported

    @Outlook i’m getting the error message email not authenticated on my iPhone about five times a day now. This is getting silly!

  • AnaPAzcarraga Ana Paola Azcarraga (@AnaPAzcarraga) reported

    @Graceoc1 @Outlook Did you solve the problem?? I have the same issue

  • Tina_M_Wade Tina (@Tina_M_Wade) reported

    @SamGoodhand @Outlook I concur; Clunky!! Wouldn’t allow me to change my generic reset password a few days ago, error message after error message; today; changed it first attempt with the same one I was trying and failing with!

  • __Lozzaa Lozz (@__Lozzaa) reported

    @Outlook having issues getting access to my account?? Tried to fill in the form to reset password but still not working?

  • RoccoLovesYou PorkChop (@RoccoLovesYou) reported

    @Outlook I cannot find any feedback section when I click on mail or look in settings on my iPhone! The issue is getting ridiculous. Twice today I’ve gone to look at my emails and am being told to enter my password! I can’t be the only user with issues

  • wolfgangbey Amadeus (@wolfgangbey) reported

  • matthewwwwwh Matthew (@matthewwwwwh) reported from Ealing, England

    @Outlook **** off asking me to re-enter my password for my hotmail account, it’s really ******* tedious. Why haven’t you fixed the issue yet?

  • diaska Dias Aisin (@diaska) reported

    @Outlook there is an issue with syncing of iCloud calendars on Outlook iOS (changes are stored locally, does not fetch / update). Any idea why?

  • DaddyPudding85 Deano (@DaddyPudding85) reported

    @Outlook @elle_goodwill Its sooooo annoying. My android powered items are fine. Only on my ipads. Must be an iOS issue.

  • Damnnn_Daddy The Mexican Fiesta (@Damnnn_Daddy) reported

  • RoccoLovesYou PorkChop (@RoccoLovesYou) reported

    @Outlook If I go in via my browser there is a feedback option but it’s asking for ‘ideas’? There’s clearly an issue as a unite a few people are complains of the same problems!

  • Drgreen51 Drgreen5 (@Drgreen51) reported

    @Outlook I keep getting signed out of my account . My iPhone keeps making me sign in at least twice a day and it’s getting more frequent. This is very frustrating. Why is this happening ?

  • RealConnorMcCaf Connor McCafferty🍀 (CEEJ) (@RealConnorMcCaf) reported

    @Apple @AppleSupport @Outlook please work together and sort out the issues plaguing outlook/hotmail email accounts. Every few hours the “re enter password” notification pops up!
