-
Chris Pred (@ChrisPred) reported@keeganlanier @Outlook I haven’t noticed it myself as I use Outlook on my iPad Pro with a M365 account. Are you connecting to Exchange server or another email provider such as Google or iCloud? I am thinking it could be a sync issue with IMAP or something along those lines.
-

Jason Starr, Consumer Ventures, Awakened Foods (@JasonStarr) reportedHad to finally upgrade from "Legacy" @Microsoft @Outlook on a Mac to "new" Outlook (because old Outlook kept crashing my computer due to what I must assume was a massive a memory leak) Just miserable. Stupid, basic stuff still broken or mission. Formatting of signatures is totally messed up. Can't turn on/off hidden paragraph markers when editing email. Can no longer click within an email to see the conversation or related emails (this is a huge loss). This product has been out since 2020. It has been the default email client since 2022. HOW CAN IT STILL BE THIS BAD!?! Or do they just hate Mac users that much?

Cheekyman81 (@1_hsm) reported@Outlook I’m struggling to get any traction from your support teams to regain access to my Hotmail account. Recovery forms are not working. Who do I escalate to? I have had this issue for 1 month now.
