@Outlook "This is a known issue with IMAP accounts. The change (read state) needs to sync with the server before you can move it, which only takes a split second, but outlook keeps a hold on the message until you switch messages." 4 years ago. Not fixed yet. But thanks for the answer.

@Outlook for the last two days any emails I’ve sent from my hotmail account with a word attachment have bounced back. I’m self-employed and need to send invoices urgently. Any idea how I can fix this problem?

@MicrosoftHelps Thank you for responding! The exact message I get is "Sign in with @outlook.com is blocked for one of these reasons : Someone entered the wrong password too many times. When I submit the form to unblock it I get auto rejected.I just would like my account to be unblocked.

Why is the new search function in @Outlook so s**t and broken. Never finds relevant emails and whatever predictive AI is going needs to stop. Frustrating for not just me but also clients too. @MicrosoftSB @Windows

@Outlook @Office365 Not sure if these accounts are monitored but it's a huge problem that New Outlook for Mac doesn't support contact lists/groups *at all.*

@Outlook Please help! I can access my email through my iPhone because password is saved but when I try to login through my desktop and tells me password is incorrect. I already did the new account verification form numerous of times and it tells me I can’t be verified.

The last @Outlook for Mac must have been an insider from google to get people back to gmail web interface. Search in emails not working, emails arriving delayed, emails not loading correctly, let alone reconnecting all inboxes after update ...

@Outlook is the worst Mail service that i have ever seen. They locked my mail for literally no reason and when I tried to unlock it, they send a code to my number that never came and have to WAIT 24 HOURS just to try it again! Oh and talking to support only possible via sign in!

@Outlook at 10amCST my email glitched and is not working. When I compose a new email it is tracking all changes as I type and the top bar is gray. I am unable to change font, make bullet points, etc. My emails look VERY unprofessional.

@office365 @outlook SPAM on your Hotmail/Outlook365 platform is beyond out of control. I don't have these issues with my GMail and high speed internet provider's email platforms. Any chance you guys were already aware of this and are close to a solution?

@Microsoft @Outlook you need to get your crap together. I have not been receiving some important, very important emails randomly, and it's darn annoying. Potentially career breaking. Fix it. I pay for extra storage so that I don't face issues with email, only for this to happen.

@ChristosMatskas @Outlook As soon as you sign in with a single premium M365 account (business or personal) the ads go away.

Doing some googling it seems a lot of people have trouble sending simple emails to their friends and family on #hotmail (@Outlook). It'd be okay if hotmail would report back that it wasn't delivered, but it doesn't. It's a void.

@Outlook it's important to stop working on new features for your Windows app and focus on fixing sever bugs. I've been struggling for more that 3 years with the same bug. which I stop receiving new emails, where your support team every time create for me a new profile to fix it.
