Outlook.com Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • GermsAndNumbers Eric Lofgren (@GermsAndNumbers) reported

    @EpiEllie @Outlook I gave up and just started using Outlook for everything. Not thrilled with it, but it was better than trying to fix the perpetual cycle of “What part of this chain has failed?"

  • masklayer Masklayer "new display name" (@masklayer) reported

    @Outlook Fix your ****

  • 97_shankar_11 HorroRSweeT (@97_shankar_11) reported

    @Outlook @Microsoft Any issues with outlook client? Am unable to set meeting by delegate

  • Emma_Conway_ emma conway (@Emma_Conway_) reported

    Is Outlook web access down for apple right now? @Outlook can’t access on MacBook or phone

  • vlamers Vanessa Lamers, MESc, MPH (@vlamers) reported

    @EpiEllie @Outlook You can download Outlook and get the Outlook alerts on your phone. I know it's not a perfect fix, and they may come twice, but then you shouldn't miss any?

  • Depoetic 💙 Depoetic (@Depoetic) reported

    It's been a high pain day along with heart issues, so I'm heading for bed so I can put my feet up. Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and for the 1st time in nearly 30 yrs. I won't be able to send holiday wishes though e-mail. @Outlook still has my Hotmail account locked.

  • JacobGAlvarez Jake A (@JacobGAlvarez) reported

    @Microsoft @Outlook you are absolutely the worst. A 2 day outage. I miss @Google suite!!

  • docbloomfield Michael Bloomfield (@docbloomfield) reported

    Is anyone else creeped out by automated emails from @Microsoft @Outlook with messages like “hope you had time to recharge”? Sends shivers down my back.

  • rmsternocleid runch randa enjoyer⁷ | trip (@rmsternocleid) reported

    @Outlook serious question what is the point of having a block feature when the people i block can literally still email me no problem?

  • RDSitze 𝓝𝓮𝓻𝓭 𝓢𝓲𝓽𝔃𝓮 (@RDSitze) reported

    @_DavidGlassman @EpiEllie @Outlook This is a pretty likely scenario. Many orgs are locking down autoforward from M365 and Exchange Outlook systems to prevent hidden account compromise. That would impact calendar entries from forwarding (say, by a rule you created). Outlook on iPhone is the best bet. Good luck!

  • EpiEllie Dr Ellie Murray, ScD 🇨🇦 (@EpiEllie) reported

    I (have to) use @Outlook Calendar for work meetings, but I use Google Calendar for everything else + Apple’s Calendar app on my iPhone. Lately, my Outlook has been failing to “push” events to both my Google Calendar & my iPhone Calendar. Suggestions for a fix??

  • bunnysune Thea ✨🌸💫💕 (@bunnysune) reported

    @Outlook Is there any issues with the Outlook app? I have a couple of costumers that has different issues with Outlook - for an example: a bunch of archive calendars in a users calendar that he don't normally has access to. This happened today/yesterday to the users.

  • YHartberg Yasha Hartberg (@YHartberg) reported

    @QuirkyEducator @NatalieNugent2 @Outlook I checked the auto archive but that’s turned off so shouldn’t be causing trouble. I can’t prove, but I suspect it’s a problem with Outlook not playing nice with Canvas. Separating the 2 seems to have helped. Heavy emphasis on “seems.”

  • HMcKnightMD Heather McKnight,MD (she/her) (@HMcKnightMD) reported

    @Outlook not working makes life interesting. Did you get my email or have you not responded yet? Am I too busy to reply or you didn't get my message? #communicationistough

  • itsmecharlotte5 Charlotte Evans (@itsmecharlotte5) reported

    @Outlook are you having issues with the web app? I haven't been able to get past the loading screen for 24hrs

  • _DavidGlassman David Glassman M.D. (@_DavidGlassman) reported

    @EpiEllie @Outlook Is you outlook connected to your employment email? If so they may have locked down auto-forwarding. You can call them to find out. If not, I’m all outta ideas.

  • gardengrayz 𝔢𝔡𝔢𝔪𝔞𝔪𝔦𝔰𝔦𝔱𝔞 (@gardengrayz) reported

    Why does @Outlook only offer thumbs up buttons and not down for reacting to emails lol

  • Scruffy_Hippy Ryan Hider (@Scruffy_Hippy) reported

    @Outlook Is anyone else in the UK having trouble signing in tonight? I've been trying for the last 15 minutes...

  • Remegev Craig Frederickson (@Remegev) reported

    @Outlook do a better job on spam I should be getting emails to my main account that are easy to see as spam they come from random bullshit email addresses. Fix your ****

  • QuirkyEducator Erin Lynn (@QuirkyEducator) reported

    @NatalieNugent2 @YHartberg @Outlook Have you synced your smartphone with Outlook? Sometimes, that can be the culprit. It can be an issue with the synchronization settings. Otherwise, it could be that your auto archive feature is activated. You're right about the apps, though; that's frustrating.

  • Samar_Pundir12 Samar (@Samar_Pundir12) reported

    @Outlook Dear sir/mam Iam unable to login into my outlook account tried all methods to get into the account and the reply given by the Microsoft Team was that we could not proceess the request due to insufficient data. Please do the needful

  • AngelosTzelepis Angelos Tzelepis (@AngelosTzelepis) reported

    "Exchange Server recreated a meeting that was missing from your calendar.' What the everloving ****, you psychotic chucklefucks at @Outlook. I deleted the series because I don't have to attend those any more. Now I guess I have to be reminded every day anyway.

  • TheChiragKhanna Chirag Khanna (@TheChiragKhanna) reported

    Been having a lot of issues with @Outlook on my phone and work laptop. Same with you?

  • DangerousMere Dangerous Meredith 💉💉 💉 (@DangerousMere) reported

    Any other @outlook users out there have a problem where an email automatically gets flicked to draft or archive while you're in the middle (I mean mid-sentence) of writing it?

  • delhitonoida Dinesh (@delhitonoida) reported

    @Outlook Hi I've been locked out my outlook account by yourselves, the phone number recovery is not working and the other email recovery says my added evidence info is not sufficient. My password is ok. I have an online exam which I need to the access my account for the link.

  • OfficialRendor TheOfficialRendor (@OfficialRendor) reported

    @Outlook Emails are down for me and a bunch of us sharing a server and outlook is acting like our accounts don't exist? About half of us are unaffected. Outlook desktop version Windows up to date. Pls help.

  • DangerousMere Dangerous Meredith 💉💉 💉 (@DangerousMere) reported

    @emelaarghh @Outlook Do a Google search on it and you'll find ooddles of people have the same problem.

  • aant723 Adrienne Abney (@aant723) reported
