    @Outlook its been an hour am not recieving email. is ur server down?

  • brahma_n Brahma (@brahma_n) reported

    @Suhail @dane_albaugh My @Outlook on Mac has been super buggy for years across laptops. Hundreds of users report these issues and MSFT won’t fix. IT departments don’t care if software is slow or not syncing, esp email, they care it’s secure with all security bells and whistles. Excel is still magical.

    @Outlook Tried signing into my school account and get "We tried to update your password, but couldn't sync with your workplace because of a network problem. Try again in a few minutes. If it still doesn't work, contact your admin and provide the detailed error information."

    @Outlook why on earth does it take so many attempts to log in on iOS app? My company has two factor authentication required w/ phone call every 3 days & sometimes it takes 10+ attempts. No issues on desktop. Been happening for close to a year.

  • notjustanyButch A Butch (@notjustanyButch) reported

    @Outlook will you please update your thousands of customers and business owners regarding the issues we are all having with Outlook? Emails not sending or arriving for long stretches of time. IT company said all of her customers are calling with same complaints. News?

  • qpheevr Q. Pheevr (@qpheevr) reported

    I hate @Outlook, and all the sleazy bullshit the server does to make life difficult for anyone who dares to use a different e-mail client just makes me all the more determined never to use theirs. #pine4ever

    @Outlook Hi, I keep getting this message when I sign into my Hotmail and try to click on a message: "Your message can't be displayed right now". How do I fix this?

  • qpheevr Q. Pheevr (@qpheevr) reported

    Today’s fun project: sending abject apologies to all the students who thought I was ignoring their requests for extensions/reference letters/help because the ******* overzealous campus @Outlook mail server thought their messages were spam. 😳🤬

  • bi_sapiens_hehe Michał (@bi_sapiens_hehe) reported

    @Fairbanks357 @mozthunderbird @Outlook if it ain't broke, don't fix it

  • sesquiotic James Harbeck (@sesquiotic) reported from Vancouver, British Columbia

    @qpheevr @Outlook The York U email server sent one of my assignments straight to spam and it was just luck that I happened to find out the prof hadn’t received it and was on the point of grading me accordingly.

  • AswegenElvera Elvera Van Aswegen (@AswegenElvera) reported

    @Outlook Why is my outlook not working on Android. I had to delete it because it won't accept my server settings. I have been using outlook for years. 2 days ago it stopped working! I have tried everything!

  • kcappleguy Chris Huff (@kcappleguy) reported

    @shanselman @WSV_GUY I submitted a support case inside @Outlook , but at the time I thought it was just faceID freezing up. Haven’t reported back new findings, as I don’t think it’s truly an outlook problem.

  • phsuan_chung xoxo_lisa (@phsuan_chung) reported

    @tommoose212 @Outlook **** it is really terrible, so what are you planning to Do now since they have been silent over your issue

    @MFAThai I need to speak with someone regarding the Thailand Pass. There is an error with @Outlook accounts receiving their confirmation emails/ Thailand Passes. I need mine reissued to another email address as it hasn't come through. Thank you

  • John_Dillinga John_Dillinga (@John_Dillinga) reported

    @Microsoft @Windows @Outlook you need to fix your junk mail filters for Hotmail/Outlook because I am getting bombarded again by repetitive spam and phishing emails in my inbox that usually go to my junk mail. I keep reporting them as junk and nothing happens. Over 200 a day!.

  • Adron Adron (@Adron) reported

    @kfalconspb @Outlook I don't want to send something if it isn't in their working hours or applicable to their time zone. If there isn't something that tells me what that is, then that's a problem. Thus my crux at the moment w/ Outlook.

  • 99_jamal Jamal Amir (@99_jamal) reported

    @Outlook Hi, I’m having an issue having email notifications push through to my iPhone. I’ve re-installed the app, reset the app internally, ensured notifications are turned on & logged out/in. Running the most updated version of iOS 15.1 & Outlook version 4.2143.0. Please assist?

  • JimmyFal Jimmy Fallon (@JimmyFal) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook 2. Her phone number was all that was on the account for recovery purposes. A "bot" or some entity decides to repeatedly get into her account so Microsoft shuts it down and asks for verification. We supply the CORRECT phone number and it won't txt to a regular phone...

  • tommoose212 tom johnson (@tommoose212) reported
