Keegan Lanier (@keeganlanier) reportedAnyone using @Outlook on iOS having massive issues lately? Emails looking like they’ve been sent to only delete the message and return a blank email to draft without sending the original email? Emails ready to send, but the exit and send buttons won’t work. The app isn’t frozen, but you have to force close the app and hope the latest draft saved all changes. This is only happening on iOS to my knowledge

Sriprakash Rao Talpady ಶ್ರೀಪ್ರಕಾಶ ರಾವ್ ತಲಪಾಡಿ (@TalpadySR) reported@Outlook If there is a prize for damaging a perfectly working app with a new version much worse than before, you stand in the first place as a contender. Many useful features are gone. New version is slow & unfriendly. I can't go back as it can't connect to my Google A/C !

Dwight Young (@TheDwightYoung) reported@Microsoft @Office @Outlook Why does Outlook for Mac always have non-stop issues? Why is my desktop app unable to Sync or connect for hours, sometimes even the entire day, multiple times per month? There's some MAJOR issues inside Outlook for Mac OS and it's not just mine.
-
Andrew Hopkins (@F19ADH) reportedI see @Microsoft @Outlook must have had another issue/breakdown in spam filters as their service becomes completely unusable for me AGAIN! Multiple copies of emails getting through. As you scan every email how can you not detect spam contents that match deluges of reports to you?
-
Brian Fontana (@CodeFoxtrot) reported@IAmTimCorey @Copilot @Outlook I uninstalled copilot and m365 last week, will try again in the future! I think the first biggest issue they need to fix, is why there are two copilot apps that appear to be similar, but are self-described to be different, and then you need to have two on your system. Doesn't make much sense!
