    .@Outlook My email account with you is not recognising a bona fide gmail address in a group email I want to send, meaning I have to send it to them individually. How can I fix this, please?

  • MakreMeow Sahina (@MakreMeow) reported

    Friggin hell someone's been trying to access my Hotmail account. The number of unsuccessful login attempts over the last 3 days is unreal @Outlook #hotmail #Hacking

  • Rasmuschristens Rasmus Christensen 💙 (@Rasmuschristens) reported

    Just want to set up a login for my child to use my laptop in a separate account. Seriously do I need to create a @Outlook account/mail for this? #Windows10

  • MikailaCessa mikacrypt (@MikailaCessa) reported

    @Outlook my search is not working

  • tommipickle Dave (@tommipickle) reported

    @Outlook you really gotta make verification slightly easier, I tried all night to login to my account and I can’t because the alt email I set up is no longer in use. Very frustrating.

  • Mc_Nallers Ian McNally (@Mc_Nallers) reported

    @Outlook Your new fake email thats actually an ad has actually made me turn back on my adblock which had previously been turned off for outlook, terrible idea.

  • DebbieThacks Debbie Thackeray (@DebbieThacks) reported

    @Outlook Any idea when the search function issue will be resolved? Resorting to using the Gmail app to search for emails is tedious.

  • shaeid120 Shah Sherrif (@shaeid120) reported

    @Outlook please fix the bug msg: 'you've requested too many codes today, please try again tomorrow. I can't login or reset my outlook password and am missing emails. #Microsoft #outlook #hotmail

  • Punting4aLiving Punting4aLiving (@Punting4aLiving) reported

    @Outlook @AppleSupport hi, I can’t send mail from my phone. I just get, cannot connect to server message. What do i do?

  • Elek03 Alexander Berner (@Elek03) reported

    I'm very frustated by @gmail. We had a hacked account which was quickly fixed. Since one month poor domain reputation. GMail has no support, help or contact option to fix the issue. SPF, DKIM, DMARC everything set up and tested. Even Microsoft @Outlook does it better!

  • KaaSerpent Gary Henderson (he/him) (@KaaSerpent) reported

    Hey, @Outlook, why does the search feature completely and utterly not work? Could you maybe...you know...FIX that?

  • samcramerrr sam cramerrr (@samcramerrr) reported

    @Outlook push notifications have completed stopped working on the iOS 15 mail app, been like this for weeks/maybe months. Managed to get push notifications directly from the Outlook app but it's a workaround rather than a fix. Any news?

  • dnbrv Denis Baranov 🤍❤🤍 (@dnbrv) reported

    @martymadrid Why doesn't anyone see the problem, which has existed for years? It's a pain in the *** to schedule meetings when you don't know each other's availability. @Outlook has solved it on the corporate level but it's still there for external connections.

  • GrinningGibbons |Grinning Gibbons|🇳🇵📊 (@GrinningGibbons) reported

    @Outlook Is outlook down for everyone, or just in my house (none of my devices connecting to outlook!) but nothing online about it form what I can see?!?

  • Mika_254M Mika Manaki (@Mika_254M) reported

    @outlook and just to be clear its effective in securing your account, including the owner of the account when certain conditions are met. do fix this as it has become a very big inconvenience and your assistance option are quit limited towards solving this problem.

  • honeykesi k 🎀 (@honeykesi) reported

    @Outlook can't send emails but able to receive. how to fix?

  • vrgnhns VRGNHNS (@vrgnhns) reported

    @Outlook the mail is a complete mess today, you have to fix this asap or never again, "been with you" since the 90s

  • SwagNYC Dougie Fresh (@SwagNYC) reported

    @Outlook A communication failure occurred during the delivery of this message. Please try to resend the message later. If the problem continues, contact your email admin.

  • OanaPicincu Oana (@OanaPicincu) reported

    @Outlook Hi! Can you please make Outlook organise (by default) names in alphabetical order when sending emails to (many) people? It might help calm down some egos (with titles) that get super sensitive on the order in which their names is placed in the email distribution list…

  • kyleduffy_83 kyle duffy (@kyleduffy_83) reported

    @Microsoft @Outlook I don't enjoy having to hit space three times to cancel your suggestion and continue with what i wanted to type. I don't enjoy the editor randomly opening new tabs and starting new drafts in the middle of typing an email. fix your #broken predictive text

  • sprain Manuel Reinhard (@sprain) reported

    @Outlook «Outlook on the web for Exchange Server» is very broken lately on macOS in Safari and Chrome. It thinks it is offline when it's not, loses drafts, does not send mails and is generally a pain. Are you aware of this?

  • NicolaSargent8 Nicola Sargent (@NicolaSargent8) reported

    @Outlook Appalled by the non existent help from you guys. I have an issue accessing my outlook email and after completing the online form and contacting you via Facebook I have been left with no help and told your service agents can’t help. Poor service.

  • atleyhunter ɹəʇunɥ ʎəlʇɐ (@atleyhunter) reported

    @Microsoft, @Outlook Just spent an hour trying to help my mom recover her outlook account... she screwed up the Fix My Account prompt twice and now she's locked out of Skype, email, he calendar, and edge no longer logs her into things 1/2

  • sactiest Maul (@sactiest) reported

    I got tons of problems sending and scheduling emails this week. You good, @Outlook?

  • inweblife Ivan Dimitrov (@inweblife) reported

    @WindowsLatest @Outlook is so bad, terrible

  • ImSkyeTwit Skye (@ImSkyeTwit) reported

    @italic Are you aware that something in your emails causes problems with the desktop version of @Outlook . As soon as one of your emails is visible in the list, CPU usage spikes and Outlook freezes. I suspect is has something to do with the excessive amount of base64 you use.

  • ElderHoratio Anna Bacon (@ElderHoratio) reported

    @Outlook I haven't been able to access my account for almost a week. The app keeps saying it can't access the account and the website says there's a typo in the link when I click on Login.

  • blobdell Bryce (@blobdell) reported

    @Outlook Just realized I hadn't got any email in several days. Hit "sync" no new mail. Logged into OWA and I have dozens of new emails. Maybe you want to fix it so that if it is not getting email for some reason that it tells the user as much.

  • FanboyLBBH CRY BABY 🍼 (@FanboyLBBH) reported

    Holy ******* ****. Getting into your accounts nowadays is so ******* complicated but they let hackers in no problem. **** you, @Twitter, @Tumblr and @Outlook.
