    @ozkesali @Outlook I am not using any email client, just using web version and search feature is terrible there. Maybe I should switch to an email program to solve this.

    @Outlook Why would any Company who professes and/or believes in the morals of "Trustworthy Computing" need to TRACK PEOPLE DOWN who SEND EMAILS ON THEIR SERVICE. Is it for your PENTAGON or your ICE contracts? If so, WHAT is a good reason to use your service? Protection shakedown?

  • computerchipt
    computerchipt (@computerchipt) reported

    New @Outlook for Mac has security issue - cannot view email headers! Why in this time of higher security issues would @Microsoft take that feature away? Please @MicrosoftHelps fix this.

    @Outlook Holy God in heaven, why do you let Outlook continue to exist? Strike it down without mercy and let its name be forgotten

    @Outlook hi my dads forgotten his password, when he tries to reset it and puts in the last 4 digits of his number for a recovery code he gets a message saying there's an issue with the service. Is this something that is being fixed?

  • drorhanerdem
    Orhan E (@drorhanerdem) reported

    @isaeminhafalir @Outlook Agreed. When you search for “A and B”, it searches for the word “and”. Terrible.

    @Outlook Hello, good afternoon, a question, I have two days that I cannot log into my outlook account and see my emails, why is that happening, will you have a problem, you are your server ..?

    @Outlook I have been trying to get in touch with someone that can help me with my account for over four months! I have tried all the troubleshooting which is not working. Every suggestion that the website makes is not working. And I cannot get someone to reach out to me. Hello!

  • badbradbruh
    badbradbruh (@badbradbruh) reported

    @outlook How can I fix the issue? When I mark an e-mail as 'not junk' a rule should be made for the sender to not ever move to 'Junk'. Is it just my account? I have to manually add all these entities into my address book? Safe senders list? Can't I just mark 'not junk'?

  • avoiding_bears
    Kirsty Rolfe (@avoiding_bears) reported

    @DrAdamChapman @DrPeteKirwan @Outlook I think I've solved it! In the version I have access to you can't do it under options, but can under the 'Filter' drop-down menu at the top of the inbox

    Jamie Hanson (@JamieLarsH) reported

    @drrodebaugh My univ uses outlook but I "spoof" its SMTP in Gmail because I can't stand @Outlook. I'm fine with dealing with a few bugs / issues in that setup (and checking spam folders often)

    @Outlook what’s going on with your server? I haven’t received emails in over a week!

    The Microsoft @Outlook calendar appears to have been built with the assumption that every user has a consistent work schedule and only works with people who work the same schedule in the same time zone. This is a problem.

    @Outlook it’s impossible to sign up for an email account and sign in! I’ve tried over and over and it always states my password is wrong. This is ridiculous! I’m switching to Gmail.

    Hi @tim_cook I have been breaking my head over with apple tech team and they are clueless / shrugging off the shoulders from the issue I am facing with iOS. They are asking to have @Outlook and @BillGates call them. This is really absurd. Apple Case ID: 101402971985. Please help!

    Ali Ozkes (@ozkesali) reported

    @isaeminhafalir @Outlook This is curious. BION, I moved to Outlook recently from Apple Mail app, because of exactly the same problem. Maybe this is because I did not update the OS for a while. So far Outlook does it for me.

    @Microsoft @Windows @Outlook How very annoying! Every other day I get the message "Your Outlook account details are out of date. Fix this." And I fix this. And then again the same thing after a couple of days! Seriously now, guys? Seriously?

  • BenMMantle

    @Outlook is running really slow on Chrome and has been for weeks. Almost a 1 minute lag after typing a letter making emailing almost impossible.
