Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • localtryhard ur local tryhard (@localtryhard) reported

    why is @Outlook for windows so clunky, old, slow, and broken (really some ancient dialog boxes there from Office 2000/2003 if you dig around enough) while Outlook on Mac is so well optimized. really makes no sense.

  • taykafasi tay (@taykafasi) reported

    FIX THE SEARCH BAR FUNCTIONALITY OF "TO DO LIST"! WHY ESCAPE DOESN'T WORK??? PLEASE DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING! @Outlook

  • va_why JWC🏳️‍🌈🇺🇸 (@va_why) reported

    Who can guess the mind boggling thing about @Office365, specifically @Outlook OWA having issues when using @MicrosoftEdge? (hint: the left hand ain't talking to the right hand)

  • EternalZeldaFan Krysten Helka (@EternalZeldaFan) reported

    Is anybody else having issues with Hotmail/Outlook? Mine isn't loading, at all. It keeps having a spasm, while trying to load... @Outlook

    @Outlook FIX YOUR **** 📢

  • IronmanOfIT Jeff Sample (@IronmanOfIT) reported

    I don't usually take to Twitter to complain but @Outlook @Microsoft @Microsoft365 have had me running in circles to fix a problem they created by deprecating services. Noone can answer or solve my problem. You're how big and you still can't clean your own messes??

  • HaradKhabaal Melenkurion Abatha Duroc Minas Mill (@HaradKhabaal) reported

    I don't know why @Outlook ever thinks I want to open a file preview more than I want to open a file. File preview needs to be taken off single click on large area icon and relegated to right click or drop down. Single click should select only, obviously. It's not a button.

  • EternalZeldaFan Krysten Helka (@EternalZeldaFan) reported

    @HotmaiBill @Outlook When I could go on mine, it was slow to respond to opened e-Mails, but I'm not sure if I have that junk mail problem, since I let my junk mail empty on its own. The main problem is I can't get onto Outlook, because it spasms, when trying to load.

  • kankort а знаешь (@kankort) reported

    @Outlook when fix application crashes on ios 14.4.1?

  • j7nce Jeff Ince (@j7nce) reported

    Why does my @Microsoft @Outlook app on my @AppleSupport iPhone no longer give me push notifications? Checked all settings and forums but still broken, please advise.

  • jaymelbe Ph. D. Jérémie Melchior #SurfaceDuo (@jaymelbe) reported

    @windowsinsider @Outlook still waiting for feedback. Seems like some settings are handled by the organisation which forces the screensaver after 5 min maximum. I have the same "issue" on a work computer .. set to 10 min by policy (expected because it is managed by the IT of the company)

  • DaPoodlez Maria Valles (@DaPoodlez) reported

    @Outlook we can’t connect to our office account. And the login page for web mail is also down

    @Outlook Device and Maintenance on Samsung Galaxy always alerts about Outlook draining the battery. No other app including Google Play consumes battery the way Outlook does. Please address the issue. Also, how do I limit the mail retrieval days to a month max. Thanks. ☺

  • FerMu86 FerMu (@FerMu86) reported
