    @Outlook your email server appears to be down. How can we retrieve unreceived emails?

  • elxtoro Cristian T (@elxtoro) reported

    @films_must Same issue here. I've been trying to send emails from Gmail to @live.com and @outlook.com accounts, just a few of them have reached the inboxes. I am starting to think the issue comes from Google and not Microsoft since now my Gmail account doesn't even work.

  • acwise AC Wise (@acwise) reported

    @Outlook 2022 has been the year of "Junk Mail in Focused Inbox". For God's sake are you ever going to fix it? #junkmail #hotmail

  • JayWhattheF Jay: What ******** (@JayWhattheF) reported

    @Outlook is the worst email option. Especially when you try to use it on a laptop or desktop. It loads 1 out of every 10 times and then bogs down even the most top of the line systems more often than not. Bleach is the only drink for the people of that company.

  • denisplotnikov denis (@denisplotnikov) reported

    @Outlook Hi there guys! Just want to ask a quick question: is there any chance that you can fix the bug in Outlook for Mac that doesn't auto-fill the name of the sender in «To:» field? It's known for a couple of years already :(

  • tploumen Tim Ploumen (@tploumen) reported

    @hanissyhr @Outlook Same problem here in the Netherlands

  • HenryRaim Henry_raim (@HenryRaim) reported

    @BinaryJedi @Outlook Go inbox this tech guy @Orgleking_tech on Twitter, he is fast and Accurate in retrieving account, he recovered my account when I got issue and support services aren't responding within 30 minutes..

  • NaraayanKannan Naraayan Kannan (@NaraayanKannan) reported

    Dear @sundarpichai Sorry for the trouble, but can you kindly ask someone to fix the text formatting in @gmail so that it becomes compatible with @Outlook? There are several size/font mismatches when we use Gmail on browser & it lands in someone's outlook. Long standing issue.

  • RegecideTips Regecide (@RegecideTips) reported

    @Outlook Is there a human that can help with customer problems??? I've tried the stupid "recovery form" multiple times, but it doesn't work, and there's no email to contact customer support. I live in Africa, and your CS is worse than the Cape Town Metro service

  • BinaryJedi Amir (@BinaryJedi) reported

    @Outlook SOS! Since 3 days ago I’ve had issues with my Outlook mail. I received a pop-up on my iPad (iOS 16.1) telling me that my Outlook mail account’s password is incorrect. I ignored the error and later when I was checking my inbox I noticed all my emails are gone! Help me!

  • hanissyhr Hanis Syahira (@hanissyhr) reported

    Hi @Outlook, why are emails from gmail not being received by my hotmail account? It's affected my colleagues as well and I've tested it multiple times, so it isn't an isolated problem.

  • politicalfreeak billriggg (@politicalfreeak) reported

    @justkatie_5 @Outlook Contact @Daviex_N to get the issue resolved

  • RyanTho56114200 Ryan Thomas (@RyanTho56114200) reported

    Again... @Microsoft @Outlook @XboxSupport I hope you people see this... I can't reach a human being in regards to my issue and you guys seem to think it's OK that I lose all this money and time. I've been with you since the beginning but Im ready to switch to ps5 and a macbook

  • candiesandcokes MOTOMAMI (@candiesandcokes) reported

    @elxtoro @Outlook I'm applying for a new job too and have been waiting for the delayed emails from Gmail accounts 😭. I eventually received the emails with horrible delayed time ... Hope they'll fix it ASAP.

  • ZombiEquinox Jonathan Klein (@ZombiEquinox) reported

    Hey @Microsoft I am glad you're adding new features to @Outlook but instead of new features could you fix your style support so creating emails for Outlook on Windows isn't such a pain in butt? macOS has better styling support than Windows, please fix that.

  • liampadams Liam (@liampadams) reported

    My Hotmail account will suddenly no longer connect on my phone... it says something about security settings and me not having authorisation to access the server?? @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook

  • Pixi_Pix Pixatronica♡ (@Pixi_Pix) reported

    @Outlook I'm still having issues. I've followed all of your online guides.

  • Pixi_Pix Pixatronica♡ (@Pixi_Pix) reported

    Is the @Outlook app not working for anyone else either?

  • tailorguitar TailorGuitar (@tailorguitar) reported

    @Outlook @_MrFisa_ been getting blasted with phishing emails the past 24 hours, they are being delivered to my inbox. This is issue just started please advise

  • for59j54 John Ford (@for59j54) reported

    @Microsoft @Outlook Why is your outlook search feature so poor? Missing so many emails. Been a problem for.....like forever.

  • ericlaw Eric Lawrence 🎻 (@ericlaw) reported

    Junk mail filtering on Hotmail / @Outlook Live has gone from acceptable to wildly broken and has remained that way for a month. Perhaps it's time to give up the account after over 20 years.

  • hoyty Hoyty (@hoyty) reported

    Hey @Outlook on the new Outlook desktop client it seems like the spell check cannot handle mixed language messages. In the old Outlook desktop which heavily relied on Word for editing this wasn't an issue. Will this be fixed?

  • ParrisEric PARRIS (@ParrisEric) reported

    @gmail your emails are very delayed when they are sent to @Outlook accounts. What’s is the problem

  • elxtoro Cristian T (@elxtoro) reported

    @candiesandcokes @Outlook Same issue. My outlook accounts are either not getting emails from Gmail accounts or getting them with a delay of 5 hours. I'm applying to a new job and this issue could cost me this one time chance!!!!

  • W_0_0_F_Y Gerben S. 🤖 (@W_0_0_F_Y) reported

    @Outlook Yeh did that few minutes ago, by the way tested the problem using a different hotmail to send to my own hotmail (using a different network to be sure), receiving immediately, so it seems limited to gmail trying to reach hotmail accounts.

  • StewCElliott Stew Elliott (@StewCElliott) reported

    Any other @outlook.com users getting absolutely hosed down with junk mail that is just not getting picked up by the spam filters right now?

  • pie_lagos PIE Lagos (@pie_lagos) reported

    @Outlook The support is not working. I’m missing incredibly important emails. I don’t know what to do!!!!!! Please please help me

  • W_0_0_F_Y Gerben S. 🤖 (@W_0_0_F_Y) reported

    @Outlook So is there an actual problem? Because it’s completely unreliable for several days now. By the way, some mails DO come in, I’ve send myself 3 mails, 2 are still lost now and haven’t come in, 1 did immediately. Checked on several networks and devices.
