    @Outlook WHEN WILL WE BE ABLE TO SEND AND RECEIVE EMAILS AGAIN????? I have spent hours this morning thinking it was something I had done to come on twitter to find out it is an Outlook issue. This is unacceptable. I have important emails to send and receive and this is not okay.

    @Outlook Hey, multiple people cannot send emails from their live, hotmail or outlook email webmail accounts as of this afternoon. They can receive emails, but not send. It's not related to the onedrive storage limit issue either. Fix it already.

  • fredsco_ Fredsco (@fredsco_) reported

    @Outlook please please please I get tons of spams lately no matter if I keep reporting them to you, they never stop. I have tried to set the filter to high but this does not work. Is this issue known at Microsoft?

  • carmenmccain Carmen McCain (@carmenmccain) reported

    When you are deadly tired but have to send an email before going to bed. You click out of an email you have been working on for 30 minutes to check another email for info and the email you have been working on disappears, no sign in the draft box.😩 @Outlook is the worst!

  • TedTet Ted M (@TedTet) reported

    @Outlook A lot of people seem to be having this problem but the e-mails I send don't seem to be reaching people. I don't think I'm properly receiving e-mail too. Funny thing is, I don't get an error or anything. The e-mail gets sent out but they simply don't reach anyone.

  • _MrYusuf Yusuf (@_MrYusuf) reported
