  • ItsZakGodard Zak Godard (@ItsZakGodard) reported

    Looks like there must be an outage with @Outlook on iPhone right now. Can’t verify my account & signed me out if it on my iPhone.

  • Laica23 Laica (@Laica23) reported

    Hey, @Outlook what is supposed to happen when I have read a message? What is supposed to happen when I have deleted a message? Yes, it's me again and you have still not fixed the most well known issue with your app

  • vivianvolz Vivian Volz (@vivianvolz) reported

    My Outlook 365 server is down, and what I don't understand is, where is the outrage? @outlook @Office365 is this a localized phenomenon? It's a terribly inconvenient week for my whole team to be limping through email-land!

  • itsDanBull Dan Bull (@itsDanBull) reported

    @Outlook Hi, I'm in the middle of an important campaign with a client, we're liaising using my Outlook account, which - again - is having issues connecting to the server. I've asked this before and never got an answer - why should I stay with Outlook? Can you answer that?

  • mdcsten1 david (@mdcsten1) reported

    @Subharanjan_ @Outlook So sorry about that,I have had similar issues like that before,but HintCyber on Instagram helped me out,he’s a genius

  • itsDanBull Dan Bull (@itsDanBull) reported from Birmingham, England

    @Outlook No this happens every time. I'm not looking for technical support. I'm asking why you think I should continue using Outlook and not switch to a competitor that doesn't have these issues?

  • tulipstrader tulipstrader🔺 (@tulipstrader) reported

    @Outlook @Microsoft is outlook webmail down? I can't login and I've been trying for hours. #outlookdown

  • GrahamTiedtkePO Graham Tiedtke (@GrahamTiedtkePO) reported

    Hey @Outlook why am I having issues all of a sudden signing in through the mail app? I can sign in through my browser no problem. iPad user.

  • markolwick Mark Olwick (@markolwick) reported

    So it looks like @Outlook is down

  • PDD1970 Danny Davies (@PDD1970) reported

    @Outlook UPDATE - Just tried searching for an email which was received this morning. No results returned. Tried searching my inbox for the letter 'e' - one result returned. Looks like the search feature is completely broken within the Outlook app (classic layout).

  • turneru +urner (@turneru) reported

    @Outlook I’ve been having this same issue for a while now. No push notifications on iOS and have to manually refresh the app to see new emails.

  • BCarismatico BezosCarismático (@BCarismatico) reported

    @OH_JOHNNY_OH @Outlook for me too, probably a global problem

  • lisa_schroeder Lisa Schroeder (@lisa_schroeder) reported

    Why does my calendar say Christmas is observed on Friday the 24th but New Year's is observed Monday 1/3. This makes NO sense. @Outlook, this has to be an error, right? Google tells me 12/31 is the observed Federal holiday for New Year's Day.
