    @kamilprokop @Microsoft @Outlook Having the exact same issue - ridiculous how many times this happens.

  • BobFrankston Bob Frankston (@BobFrankston) reported

    @Outlook I should that hundreds is not a small number and an 80% error rate is not trivial.

  • AlphaSierraPapa PSA (@AlphaSierraPapa) reported

    Looks like the @outlook / @Microsoft365 Junk and Phishing filters are down for good. 2 days and still getting junk and phishing emails delivered straight to the inbox. Great at cyber security? lol, sure.

  • JohnnnnP John Polson (@JohnnnnP) reported

    Any @Outlook boffins out there? Email address not receiving emails... domain and emails hosted on @GoDaddy and received emails fine last week. Transferred website domain only (not email) away from GoDaddy and now cannot receive emails... Don’t see how this is an issue.

  • spangger gee spang (@spangger) reported

    @Outlook I'm looking for a standard issue tool that will open the edited pdfs I send to family with edits shown/included - not just the blank pdf!

  • dudeofnewyork D'Amonte Brown (@dudeofnewyork) reported

    @gmail @Outlook How can you all evolve the mailer daemon server protocols? Are there anyway ways to implement notifications and compressed encrypted data packages forwarded to reservations within each account?

  • hrcsupervol01 HRCSuperVol1 (@hrcsupervol01) reported

    It’s not just @MicrosoftTeams that is down but also @Outlook - is this part of the hack @jakejsullivan was warning about?

  • gb_system gbSystem (@gb_system) reported

    @Outlook Outlook has been having trouble downloading mail for weeks, where are you at resolving the problem? #Outlook

  • robustcloud Larry Carvalho (@robustcloud) reported from Mason, Ohio

    Had a @MicrosoftTeams call with a customer & @garychen147 - got caught in outage and 17 e-mails later meeting is re-scheduled. On the positive side, at least @Outlook is up!

  • AndrewRoberts66 A. J. Roberts/Skeffington Liquorish (He/Him) (@AndrewRoberts66) reported

    For some reason, my @Outlook page isn't loading when I check it in the evening. Is the site down for maintenance?

  • ties_wildeboer Ties Wildeboer (@ties_wildeboer) reported

    @Outlook I think both the agenda and mailfunction, but the problem with sending e-mails with IMAP accounts is not solved yet, I'm very disappointed. I hope it will be fixed soon.

  • ColinBirbee Colin (@ColinBirbee) reported

    So #Microsoft365 is causing me pains with @Outlook today, and has decided for no reason to put all my separate lines into one line when I send the email. Even restarted #Microsoft Outlook but problem continues. It can be disabled, but it's on by default, that's AI gone mad.

  • singincwby Matt Swallow (@singincwby) reported

    @Outlook @stevo210209 This has been plaguing customers for well over two years and Microsoft does not appear to have a long-term solution, except to let their customers deal with it on their own. If there IS any new update relating to this issue, please post something CURRENT and RELEVANT. Thanks.

  • shyam_sjcc Shyam Rao Ambekar (@shyam_sjcc) reported

    @Outlook Hi, the new version of outlook is very very slow. It stops for minutes each and every time clicked on a new email. Totally it’s not making easy can you look into this please?

  • SAXYJDJ SAXYJDJ (@SAXYJDJ) reported

    @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps re:web based outlk, are you all ever going to address the inbox mail filters not working? Make an option to turn off junk mail box completly? Add feature to select all from junk and move to inbox? #outlook #Microsoft

  • ChrisMNovak Chris, The Optimistic Bayley Fan (@ChrisMNovak) reported

    @Outlook Getting an error message while trying to link my Gmail account to Outlook on Windows 10. Already went through the IMAP settings and enabled everything, but still getting a "We can't retrieve your settings" message. Was wondering if I could have any help here?

  • theurv Urvi 😷💧🧼👏🏽 (@theurv) reported

    I swear @Outlook’s terrible integration with @google and @apple products is cutting years of productivity from the economy

  • Collins_User Collins Okafor (@Collins_User) reported

  • CorpFin_Guy Corporate Guy (@CorpFin_Guy) reported

    @Anarchified @hnshah The software is passable, but due to security protocol I am forced to use the @Outlook app and it is astoundingly terrible

  • auntshommy Michelle Block (@auntshommy) reported

    @Outlook It's been down all morning.

  • VojtaHejl Vojta Hejl (@VojtaHejl) reported

    @Outlook hello, trying to contact the helpdesk with no response - my account on the iOS (IMAP) doesnt show notifications even everything is turn on. Exchange account works with no problem. Any updates of the app? Thanks!

  • AdamDDempsey Adam Dempsey (@AdamDDempsey) reported

    @Outlook Having trouble accessing my emails via online app. the loading circle just goes round and round. This happens a lot to me. UK-based...

  • Backflip25 Bryan (@Backflip25) reported

    So confused. My @MicrosoftEdge browser suddenly signed me out of all my saved websites & reloaded as tho it just been installed. Now my legacy Hotmail address keeps redirecting to @Outlook OWA & making me sign in every time i go to check my emails, instead of keeping me signed in

  • LewFreeburn Lew Freeburn (@LewFreeburn) reported

    Anyone else having trouble with @Outlook this morning? #HappyMonday

  • _messy_boy MS (@_messy_boy) reported

    @satyanadella @Outlook calendar restricts one to use system time. Can't we have secondary clock as basis for calendar for people who work different timezones? Changing system time isn't a solution - the calendar should allow shifts that continue into the night/next date. Fix it!

  • veritableveg Veritable Vegetable (@veritableveg) reported

    @Outlook our WP Mail SMTP outlook mailer is down. no messages have been delivered for hours. When will this be back up? can you please fix?

  • bulatmurat Murat (@bulatmurat) reported

    @Outlook One issue for a long time: When you add an image as attach, image adding to body, you can't add as a file. I'm using Nine @9FoldersInc A bug report from twitter.

  • LolaTiffanyHur ローラ ハル (@LolaTiffanyHur) reported

    Ok why is Hotmail not working? If I send an email to a Gmail account it doesn't get send through even though it's stored on my sent folder. But sending on gmail is completely working fine @Outlook @gmail
