-
Owen Blacker (@owenblacker) reported@joehudsonsmall @Outlook Sure. Doesn't mean they're right, tho. It's a Dell XPS 13 9370, only a few years younger than Windows 10 The primary issue, from my perspective, is an accessibility thing. I need the OS zoomed to 300% to be able to work comfortably, so the 3840×2160 screen res isn't meaningful

ʎɐʍollɐפ ʇʇoɔS (@scottgal) reported@owenblacker @Outlook I still contend the Ribbon is MIcrosoft's biggest UX mistake since Bob. Yet they still can't see beyond it. Hint though, right click and 'use simplified ribbon' to shrink it down.
-
Pete (@URFC2023) reported@Outlook is Outlook currently down?
-
Wuaniy (@wuaniy) reported@Outlook I can send but not receive mails. Please fix it, Microsoft!

Sandra (@SandraDammer94) reported@Outlook I’m getting a lot of spam emails, what’s going on. The filters are terrible!
-
Stephen J. Schmidt (@czmyt) reportedAfter the Android version of Microsoft @Outlook continued to have sync problems with my Office 365 email account, I gave @gmail another try, and I generally find the current version of Gmail so much better!
-
WhiteMountain (@_White_Mountain) reportedHi @microsoft , @Outlook just letting you know @surveysparrow does not seem to care to take their survey down that tries to get people their Microsoft mail login data. Perhaps take action? As i am just being ignored in both in twitter and their online chat.
-
Scott Varland (@scottiev) reported@alonbrown @Outlook Thank you, Alon. Yes, I know the cmd+z trick. Trouble is I don't always realize I've deleted something unintentionally.

-

-
Jason Horner (@jasonhorner) reported@Outlook @SQLPedro I concur with Pedro here to many features of rules seem to be unnecessarily client side... all rules should run on the server
-
Scott Kraenzlein (@ScottKraenzlein) reported@Outlook There seems to be a particularly nasty IMAP sync error in (New)OUTLOOK 365. I switched back to the legacy version and it appears large chunks of my email correspondence is now gone😠. You should make users aware of this issue when making the switch.
-
Jamie Gold CKD CAPS MCCWC (@JGWellnessDesgn) reported@Outlook I used Outlook (via 365) on my PC for years. I just downloaded the Mac versions. Have question and problem. Q: How do I request a "read receipt" in the Mac version? P: When I reply to an existing message that I brought over from the PC, it's not applying the signature.
-
Cutler ******** (@CutlerCannaRx) reported@Outlook I am having a terrible time with @Outlook for Mac today. First, it deleted and won't recognize half of my calendar invites so half of my calendar is gone. Been waiting hours for support. Updated the Outlook version and now there is no time stamp when I reply to messages.
-
M@C (@MacdeMagic) reported@Microsoft365 @Outlook @Outlook I am fed up. Since I have started using outlook I am facing this problem almost after every 10-12 days my account gets temporarily blocked. When I try to unblock the account by verifying the account, outlook said you’ve tried so many times. But I tried only once. 😡
-
G. (@__GeeDee) reported@Microsoft365 @Outlook I would answer if y'all would let me sign in on mobile.
-

-
Alon Brown (@alonbrown) reported@bobfurniss @LeslieO @Outlook Beach ***** can never really be considered user error, rough day or not... :)
-
🥰 (@hannahhberlin) reported@Outlook everytime I try to access outlook, it is giving me an error message. I just access it about 12 hours ago. I know I have a mailbox and a license as it’s from my school. What is wrong with outlook right now??
-
erica (@erica29743655) reported@Outlook Pay me instead, if I have to resolve an issue that is not my job
-
Crooked Forest (@crooked_forest) reported from Vaughan, OntarioI am bringing my work laptop which still has access to the @OsgoodePD email server via @Outlook to the station today. Hope you guys haven’t been deleting more emails because I am certain the team at York Region Police will be able to see that.
-
Alexis Menard (@darktears) reported@stshank @Outlook I wonder if priorities gets conflicted with the fact that they have to address consumers and enterprise with the same app. Still it doesn’t explain why the fundamentals are not working or supported correctly.
-
Janis Smits (@failfasterson) reported@alonbrown @Outlook I did setup same account on windows system with O2016HB and it was able to send 100MB attachment. So most likely there could be issue with specific outlook for mac version...
-
x (@jmhpkns666) reported@Outlook Hello! I was wondering if you could help me. I’ve tried to continuously login to my outlook account due to being locked out and I’ve been continuously knocked back. Ive answered all the questions and filled in the information to the best of my ability.
-
AlkiRagdoll (@AlkiRagdoll) reported@Microsoft @Outlook @MSN i get multiple SPAM phishing emails a day from Microsoft emails asking me to validate my email/notice of service shut down. Please stop this and ban users doing this.
-
BenJammin (@bullsandbucks22) reported@Outlook ya'll app is trash, won't even let me reset the Password because it "doesn't meet the requirements". THEN WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS?! Sheesh this is so frustrating, terrible app, terrible platform, terrible problem solving i mean good god.
-
Owen Blacker (@owenblacker) reported@scottgal @Outlook That's the thing, I don't want it shrunk down. In those 2 specific cases, I want rid of the 250px space between the date and the calendar and an ability to collapse some of the 400px of message header and 300px of attachments (and to dismiss the 80px a11y message, if poss)
-
Stephen J. Schmidt (@czmyt) reported@MrCalico @Outlook @gmail I mostly liked it when I was not having sync problems, but also sorely missed the "open the previous email" feature that every other email client program has. I'll check it out again sometime to see if it's improved.
