    @Microsoft @Outlook SOMEONE from tech please tweet me back so I can attempt to get an issue resolved! I can’t do it on the computer and it doesn’t want to verify my info!!

  • HBeuks Henry Beuks (@HBeuks) reported from Broekhuizen, Provincie Utrecht

    @wee_rosh @Outlook Same problem. Reinstalling does not help. App shuts down few seconds after opening.

  • PKraimer Paul Kraimer (@PKraimer) reported

    Umm, hello @Outlook I just "removed" 50 different Junk Mail emails that did not get filtered into the Junk folder. Your algorithm is failing. It has been for a long time now. Please fix it. Thank you.

  • ProfCRobertson Christopher Robertson (@ProfCRobertson) reported

    So everyone seems to know that @Outlook has a terrible search function, but if your employer insists on using it, what are the best workarounds? Is there some sort of google search overlay?

  • jbow2020 Justice Bowyer (@jbow2020) reported

    @XboxSupport @Microsoft @Outlook can you please explain why I have to leave the hopes of getting my email and Xbox account back up to a computer and not talk to a human to get my issues resolved???

  • yaro_ivanovski Yaro Ivanovski (@yaro_ivanovski) reported

    Microsoft Outlook (email) application on the Android, automatically closes after launch. App reinstallation doesn't help. Is it down everywhere or just me? On the website email is still working. @Outlook

  • SionTimmy1 Sion (@SionTimmy1) reported

    @Outlook ever since the update the app crashed every time I opened the app and when I checked the comment on Google Play seems it happing to few people is there a time frame on the fix?

  • nickmmark Nick Mark MD (@nickmmark) reported

    Anyone trying to sign up for #MedMastodon: There seems to be an issue with @Outlook blocking the invite emails from @joinmastodon needed to register your account. Consider using a different email account (gmail, etc) if you are having problems.

  • ochostrike Rich ⏱️ (@ochostrike) reported

    Not good enough @Outlook tried to change a meeting time, got an (unhelpful as usual) error, now the meeting is in a zombie state, nobody's received the updates and the invitation list just says "No response" from everyone. What are you playing at? @satyanadella #UX #productivity

  • dboevers DBtheTD (@dboevers) reported

    All I want is to have all my email accounts show up in Outlook together. Why is that such a problem @aol, @Outlook ??? This shouldn’t be this hard.

  • BrianBinette Brian Binette (@BrianBinette) reported

    @Outlook Are there issues right now with the web interface? I can login to the Outlook app on my phone and tablet, but the web will not let me in - "TooManyObjectsOpenError." I've got the same things open that I've always had open.

  • NewYorkMark36 Mark (@NewYorkMark36) reported

    @Outlook Hi, Since a new update i can't use the app. Is close automatically in a few seconds. On this way I can't use the app. On Play Store there are a lot of people who have the same issues

  • ASL08934770 ASL (@ASL08934770) reported

    @Outlook No worries I have managed to resolve the issue, after generating a new app password and then restarting the phone (pixel 6 pro).

  • ASL08934770 ASL (@ASL08934770) reported

    @Outlook trying to sign into my Hotmail account using the default mail app on Android phone (gmail) using an app password and keep getting the error: can't reach the server. Is this a known issue?

  • dboevers DBtheTD (@dboevers) reported

    @agni_thehuman @AOL @Outlook connect where - the CSR on Twitter told me they couldn't fix it

  • AldonioMX Aldonio (@AldonioMX) reported

    Now you may ask, why is it bad that Mastodon is “ideology first, product second”? Let’s take email as an example first: The technology behind email is designed for everyone to have their own server, but who has their own server? Most of your contacts use @gmail or @Outlook.

  • Lauren77651786 Lauren Gray (@Lauren77651786) reported

    @paulmacca89 @Outlook I also had the same issue but I messaged @ptech_cyber in Instagram and got my problem solved. You can also do so now.

  • sean_morrison93 Sean Morrison (@sean_morrison93) reported

    @yaro_ivanovski @Outlook I found a fix. Delete outlook app and download it via galaxy store and it worked straight away.

  • LeeCrout I love you 3000 (@LeeCrout) reported

    My #Outlook app shuts down as soon as I open an email. Annoying. @Outlook

  • PatrickMoorhead Patrick Moorhead #NotTraveling #Zoomtopia (@PatrickMoorhead) reported

    I experienced two installation issues on Windows: - @Dell Peripheral Manager to tune an external Dell camera. - @GoogleWorkspace to @Outlook Connector. This never worked since WoA days started over 10 years ago.

  • sean_morrison93 Sean Morrison (@sean_morrison93) reported

    @yaro_ivanovski @Outlook Did you find a fix for this im having the same problem?

  • HobbsBuck458 HobbsBuck458 (@HobbsBuck458) reported

    @Rockyle22895712 @Outlook Hit up Allenfixx on instagram instead of wasting your time here support won’t help I’ve had this issue before he helped me out

  • MartinGore Martin Gore (@MartinGore) reported

    @Outlook There is clearly a problem opening Outlook on a tablet. When I open it on a Samsung Tab A it immediately drops out. App is okay on my Samsung phone. Reinstall or Reboot makes no difference. What is the fix please? URGENT

  • binarybrewery Dan Usher (@binarybrewery) reported

    @Outlook It's not really an "issue" per say, more to say, "I think the app may be missing some logic."

  • ZsuHengl Hengl Zsuzsa (@ZsuHengl) reported

    @Outlook No assistance needed,on website i can log in,still the app doesn't work, doesn't let with authentication in....no matter what,so no need for assistance,just fix it😑 simple

  • agni_thehuman A G N I V O S E N (@agni_thehuman) reported

    @dboevers @AOL @Outlook Aol is running some issue, connect with AOL support and get it resolved. I did the same it worked.

  • SinBad_FTB sinbad fromtheboard (@SinBad_FTB) reported

    @Outlook @dboevers I am having this same issue , I sent y'all a dm !!

  • whyNoTvandNoNet why-no-tv-nd-no-net (@whyNoTvandNoNet) reported

    Why are @MicrosoftHelps staff failing to fully understand the fact that @Outlook is broken. They are repeatedly asking the wrong questions & giving no help. #CustomerService has declined. When it was #Hotmail all the help was better.

  • yaro_ivanovski Yaro Ivanovski (@yaro_ivanovski) reported

    @sean_morrison93 @Outlook I'm using a browser. I removed outlook app from my mobile phone.. Perhaps reset the phone to factory settings will solve the problem. For me it's easier to use the browser then do reset.

  • wee_rosh Roisin Conlon 🏳️‍🌈 (@wee_rosh) reported

    @Outlook having multiple issues with users since the release of 4.2243.1 - app crashes, doesn't allow sign in on Android or IOS Please fix!! 🙏🙏
