    @Outlook My Outlook email isn't working properly for the past couple of days. When I try to view 'other' mail I get a error message that says "Your request can't be completed right now" and gives me the option to 'Retry' which doesn't actually do anything... Any answers?

  • atleyhunter ɹəʇunɥ ʎəlʇɐ (@atleyhunter) reported

    @Outlook on Android seems to really become unstable if you use the unread filter, it becomes hard to scroll & stops allowing me to open my emails. This was an issue at the beginning of the summer & now it's back... #moreRegressionTestingPlease #weveBeenHereBefore

  • MarkKennedyQW 🇨🇦 Mark (Bundy) Kennedy 🇨🇦 (@MarkKennedyQW) reported

    Hey @outlook I think your spam filters are broken again. My inbox has been getting blasted by a constant barrage of spam and phishing emails the last 2 days. Please get this fixed. Thanks.

    @NederlandNatuur @Outlook It's been happening with me for the last couple of days! I can sign in ok, but can't view some emails...and not even sure if all emails are getting through to me and vice versa.

  • Spin3600 Tom Bridgeforth (@Spin3600) reported

    @Outlook I have the problem where I get your email has been moved to a temporary mailbox error and when I send emails, my email address appears as a string of numbers. I followed the support article and it fixes the problem temporarily but it keeps happening.

    @MicrosoftHelps can you tell me @Outlook is down or is it just my company?

  • lyndacollier16 lynda collier (@lyndacollier16) reported

    @Outlook Outlook’s password reset process is IMPOSSIBLE! To be honest, the problems that one encounters with the reset password process do not reflect well on the brand. The Microsoft Office suite has great applications. It be good if you’d optimize the password reset function.

  • fromda5thflo ZU (@fromda5thflo) reported

    @Outlook fix the calendar bug son

  • LCCK4ever Cathleen K. (@LCCK4ever) reported

  • fattselimi Fat (@fattselimi) reported

    @Outlook This is what im getting when im trying to send the security code to my Phone number, There's a temporary problem with the service. Please try again. If you continue to get this message, try again later.

  • tinsleyjim Jim Tinsley (@tinsleyjim) reported

    @Microsoft work from home does not work for your employees. All of your products that I use have gone to crap during work from home. They need direct oversight. @Outlook is particularly terrible these days.

  • jamiehowarth0 Jamie WASH YOUR HANDS AND WEAR A MASK Howarth (@jamiehowarth0) reported

    Excellent start to the day. Fixed my mum's problems with clicking links in @Outlook not working, cause Outlook needs IE security settings to know if a link is safe or not. Crappy reason to need to keep IE installed, but hey ho
