    Dear @Outlook Could you please NOT suck, with multi acc+VPN? Annoying that if I'm not connected to corp vpn/exchange server, I couldn't set rules for other acc. If using multiple profiles, I don't get my calendar notif, and stuff from the offline company acc.

  • Emrikol07 Norman (@Emrikol07) reported

    @Outlook The new web ui is total crap, please change it back. When trying to send an email I am constantly getting an error message "this message can't be sent because at least one recipient isn't valid". This is because the intellisense on the To line is broken.

  • evanoflanagan Evan Flanagan (@evanoflanagan) reported

    Sat down at my desk and took a look at my @Outlook calendar. Fat Lip by Sum 41 came on. Oof

  • mlande2 Mike L (@mlande2) reported

    I don’t know what the hell is going on, but @Outlook just aren’t picking up junk at the moment. I’ve gone from getting 1 junk mail in my inbox per week, to 20 a day. The junk filter is barely catching a thing. Is anyone else having this issue at the moment? #hotmail

    @Outlook hey bestie, can you guys fix the search function? It’s killing me at work. I have emails that I know are in my inbox but no matter the search terms, it won’t bring them up. This has been a problem for a long time. I am begging.
