    @Outlook @Office any suggestions? Outlook marked as disconnected. Cannot login to outlook via office online either but can see all other server content and load okay. Just not email

  • BobFrankston Bob Frankston (@BobFrankston) reported

    @Outlook Microsoft support for email is 100% siloed and cannot even refer a problem that is outside their narrow domain. I thought @Microsoft had addressed the siloing problem. I guess it is still unable to work across silos. Very frustrating.

    @Outlook And also, we can use another type of recovery, maybe with another email, or with a phone call or sms. With other mailboxes like GMAIL and YAHOO we have always managed to find a solution in the event of a problem. Please be willing and responsive! Please contact me ASAP!!!

  • iDineshRoy Dinesh Kumar Roy (@iDineshRoy) reported

    There's something deepening about the issues that (webmails to) @Outlook is facing. It's been over two years. I've contacted Outlook several times. They have not been able to solve it yet. Even the banks in Nepal nowadays ask for Gmail.

    @BenjaminOscar77 @Microsoft @Outlook If we could get a bunch of old school auto dialers going, we could overwhelm their voip in about 1 minute and effectively shut them down.

  • ACali_G AGC (@ACali_G) reported

    Updated my @Outlook last night. Already crashed 4x before 830am this. Is it just me or do updates usually cause more problems than they help? @Microsoft

    @stureid41 @Outlook @Windows i used to have that problem all the time at Strathclyde, was something to do with how their proxy server was configured. Changed to IMAP direct to fix it, but not sure if that works any more with changes to Office365 autodiscover.

    Hey all, is @outlook for web having issues or is it just me? I prefer the web experience over the app, but it's not loading right now for me.

  • mattang Mat Ong* (@mattang) reported

    hey @Outlook @Windows @Office365 thanks for the “coming soon” pop up development in outlook. But can you fix it so Oulook actually indexes recent emails? Can’t believe this still isn’t fixed… I don’t want a get around! I want the product I pay for, to work!
