  • avoiding_bears Kirsty Rolfe (@avoiding_bears) reported

    @DrAdamChapman @DrPeteKirwan @Outlook I think I've solved it! In the version I have access to you can't do it under options, but can under the 'Filter' drop-down menu at the top of the inbox

  • LBdeGiorgio Laurent de Giorgio (@LBdeGiorgio) reported

    @Microsoft @Windows @Outlook How very annoying! Every other day I get the message "Your Outlook account details are out of date. Fix this." And I fix this. And then again the same thing after a couple of days! Seriously now, guys? Seriously?

  • hans0schwarz Hans Schwarz (@hans0schwarz) reported

    @rfwharmsen @Outlook Same here. Re-installed app but problem remains. Touching calendar button crashes the app. Bugfix needed urgently.

  • ImMatthewWesley Matthew (@ImMatthewWesley) reported

    @Outlook it’s impossible to sign up for an email account and sign in! I’ve tried over and over and it always states my password is wrong. This is ridiculous! I’m switching to Gmail.

  • migueldeicaza Miguel de Icaza 💉💉 🎉 (@migueldeicaza) reported

    @tobiaszuercher @krubenok @Outlook What your email server? And your device?

  • RosieVallakia Rosie Vallakia (@RosieVallakia) reported

  • baamulaaiza Amit Verma (@baamulaaiza) reported

    Hi @tim_cook I have been breaking my head over with apple tech team and they are clueless / shrugging off the shoulders from the issue I am facing with iOS. They are asking to have @Outlook and @BillGates call them. This is really absurd. Apple Case ID: 101402971985. Please help!

  • kawaiinat94 Natalie McCarthy (@kawaiinat94) reported

    @Outlook I have been trying to get in touch with someone that can help me with my account for over four months! I have tried all the troubleshooting which is not working. Every suggestion that the website makes is not working. And I cannot get someone to reach out to me. Hello!

  • RealHussainAli HussainAli (@RealHussainAli) reported

    My @Outlook not working keep saying downloading messages how to fix it

  • badbradbruh badbradbruh (@badbradbruh) reported

    @outlook How can I fix the issue? When I mark an e-mail as 'not junk' a rule should be made for the sender to not ever move to 'Junk'. Is it just my account? I have to manually add all these entities into my address book? Safe senders list? Can't I just mark 'not junk'?

  • Tulletilsynet Tulletilsynet (@Tulletilsynet) reported

    @Outlook Holy God in heaven, why do you let Outlook continue to exist? Strike it down without mercy and let its name be forgotten

  • sapelletier Seth Pelletier (@sapelletier) reported

    @Outlook the latest version of Outlook on iOS crashes when trying to navigate to Calendar in-app. Please fix!

  • JamieLarsH Jamie Hanson (@JamieLarsH) reported

    @drrodebaugh My univ uses outlook but I "spoof" its SMTP in Gmail because I can't stand @Outlook. I'm fine with dealing with a few bugs / issues in that setup (and checking spam folders often)

  • computerchipt computerchipt (@computerchipt) reported

    New @Outlook for Mac has security issue - cannot view email headers! Why in this time of higher security issues would @Microsoft take that feature away? Please @MicrosoftHelps fix this.

  • infination Infination Technology (@infination) reported

    @Outlook Why would any Company who professes and/or believes in the morals of "Trustworthy Computing" need to TRACK PEOPLE DOWN who SEND EMAILS ON THEIR SERVICE. Is it for your PENTAGON or your ICE contracts? If so, WHAT is a good reason to use your service? Protection shakedown?
