Outlook.com Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Andrew Berges (@ConfigDude) reportedTwo things that cannot be achieved in this world: dividing by zero and completely shutting down the @Outlook.exe process without reboot.
-
Paul (aka Gargoyle) (@paulcourt101) reported@Scott_Helme @TryGhost @Outlook Ran into a similar problem a few years ago with some single-use links that were emailed out to users. I think we ended up blacklisting a handful of user agents like sendgrid, hotmail link parser, mailchimp, etc.
-
Garry Deverell (@gazalucci) reported@tyroleanlass @Outlook Does it happen with other MS 365 apps? Word? Powerpoint? Excel? If it does, I may be able to help as I’ve been through that myself recently. If the problem is only with Outlook, that will be something different.
-
Katherine Bowyer (@tyroleanlass) reportedInstall update, and, bang! @Outlook crashes again and again. Anyone else having the same problem? #microsoftoutlook #crash
-
Oluf Nissen (@GeekTieGuy) reported@berniemaloney @Outlook Say what? I didn't know it has that. But yes, like that. To bad Microsoft Outlook is the de facto system in so many companies. It's a slow-moving 500 pound gorilla.
-
Keith Kmett (@kkmett) reported from West Des Moines, IowaHey @Outlook did you know you keep crashing after your latest release? I open the app and it shuts down. Reinstalled the app and it worked for about 30 minutes now back to same coding on open. Device iPhone Xs, iOS 14.3
-
🇨🇦 Sauron (@Nemesis4All) reported@Outlook It works now. The website kept loading for some reason without giving you access to the sign in page. But as of now it works fine. Thank you!
-
Martin Chapman (@m_in_m) reported@Scott_Helme @Outlook @Ghost It sounds like you might get a similar issue witj anyone using Mimecast if the links are valid once only.
-
MikeY (@Im_Mike_Y) reported@tyroleanlass @Outlook are you using an ios device? I'm having the same issue
-
Lynn Greiner (@lynngr) reported@msonenote @Outlook Must try it. But can you explain why my MS 365 OneNote tells me to sign in to sync my notebook when I'm clearly already signed in? Is it losing its little electronic mind?
-
wade (@wademichael22) reported@Outlook I am trying to log on to my school email from Texas A&M University San Antonio ( we use Outlook ). I'm using my Lenovo Yoga laptop. I've never had problems prior to yesterday, but it is now saying my account or password are incorrect ( both of which are false. ) Used daily !
-
Jeffrey Kalvass (@jeffreykalvass) reported@swersey @Outlook @OfficeInsider I cannot reproduce this issue — does it happen when pasting from a certain app? I’ll also track down your support request
-
Rob (@wizlon67) reported@Outlook Hi there, just wondering if any one can help me with an email issue. I need to send a email , in this mail I need to send 6 other emails . Rather than individually forwarding them, is it possible to send them in one covering email as attachments?
-
Ashley Jones (@nessundorma214) reportedGonna flip some tables on @Outlook. User error perhaps, but who the heck *intends* to reply to just themselves in an email? Just send an email to the person that I am clearly trying to communicate with ffs. Gmail figured it out, just saying. #Outlook

Gamers Geek NZ (@gamergeeksnz) reportedOMG I've been looking into this #uceprotect thing and it's so broken, they often nuke entire data centres (i'm guessing for the blackmail protection money). @Outlook and #hotmail is so broken by using uceprotect in it's current fashion, seriously all move to @gmail

Simon Zerafa (@SimonZerafa) reported from Haverfordwest, Wales@Scott_Helme @TryGhost @Outlook Sure. However if that 'fixes' the issue then perhaps there is some way that the Outlook backend could mitigate the problem?
-
🏳️⚧️｜ミスター・ウルフ｜Misutā Urufu (@MisutaaUrufu) reportedThe only account that has access to my passwords is my Apple ID and that is secured with 2FA as well and notifies me on all my devices when something new tries to log on. So, uh, what? /How is my email password being repeatedly broken?/ @Outlook y'all got problems.
-
minipasila rip 🇭🇰 (@minipasila) reportedCan @Outlook like fix their shitty filters so I don't have to constantly report phishing scams getting through them?
