    ******* idiots @Microsoft, what kind of a ******* moron thought an error in ******* @outlook app like "can't download an attachment" would be awesome error information? Why ******** do you constantly behave like idiots? @satyanadella what kind of a ********** are you running?

  • ftp_alun Alun Jones (@ftp_alun) reported

    @Outlook is so screwed up when it comes to recurring meetings. Moving some occurrences? No problem. Shortening / lengthening the sequence? All occurrences are moved back to their original time. Adding / removing an attendee? All occurrences are moved back to their original time.

    Dear @MicrosoftTeams, please take your own time in fixing things. Even if it takes a week, we're ok to wait coz a permanent fix is important than time. If possible, please also shutdown @Outlook @Office365 :) #TeamsDown #microsoftteamsdown

  • DBA_Empress Mary L Cottingham (she/her) (@DBA_Empress) reported from Montgomery, New Jersey

    @microsoft... is @Outlook scrambled today or am I personally blessed to have my mail not communicating with my laptop, but working fine on my mobile? Thought I'd check before I sell a piece of my soul to connect to corporate IT, in light of yesterday's Teams outage.

  • whyNoTvandNoNet why-no-tv-nd-no-net (@whyNoTvandNoNet) reported

    @Outlook keeps asking me to login to an email account that i'm already logged into . It also occasionally refuses to accept its password. Fix outlook on the Android app or just bring Hotmail back .

  • SmoggyLamb49 SmoggyLamb (@SmoggyLamb49) reported

    Hey @Microsoft! Do you want me to dump this @Outlook app from my Android phone, too!? Then quit asking me to sign in to my Hotmail account every 15 minutes! Where's the option for "keep me signed on"!?

  • vickyjo Victoria Walberg (@vickyjo) reported

    @IntuneSuppTeam @Outlook @MicrosoftTeams Any update please? I tried reinstalling earlier this week and it was still broken. I saw lots more negative reviews on the Play store indicating this was still an issue. It is CP - removing Outlook didn't chang/fix the problem with Adobe, removing CP resolved it (again). Thanks
