    @oscar_parisi @Outlook I have the same issue!

  • cedickie Scareoline D 🎃 👻 🕷 (@cedickie) reported from Oakland, California

    @Outlook why on earth does it take so many attempts to log in on iOS app? My company has two factor authentication required w/ phone call every 3 days & sometimes it takes 10+ attempts. No issues on desktop. Been happening for close to a year.

  • JimmyFal Jimmy Fallon (@JimmyFal) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook 2. Her phone number was all that was on the account for recovery purposes. A "bot" or some entity decides to repeatedly get into her account so Microsoft shuts it down and asks for verification. We supply the CORRECT phone number and it won't txt to a regular phone...

  • JimmyFal Jimmy Fallon (@JimmyFal) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook Maybe you guys need to rethink this whole automated account recovery crap once in a while and put some REAL ACTUAL PEOPLE ON THE PROBLEMS YOU CREATED. Thanks Gab...  Kindly, #elderlyabuse  Gab Microsoft Online Safety Ref:MSG2386337_EWYigATPcpgfWaUtmHEj

    @Outlook Hi, I’m having an issue having email notifications push through to my iPhone. I’ve re-installed the app, reset the app internally, ensured notifications are turned on & logged out/in. Running the most updated version of iOS 15.1 & Outlook version 4.2143.0. Please assist?

  • bi_sapiens_hehe Michał (@bi_sapiens_hehe) reported

    @Fairbanks357 @mozthunderbird @Outlook if it ain't broke, don't fix it

  • ronnidolorosa Dr MIGRANT 73% Dolorosa (@ronnidolorosa) reported

    @Outlook I am connected to the internet and can access other websites without any trouble. It happens on multiple devices and browsers (Firefox on laptop, Safari on tablet). However, I can access and use a different Outlook account online without problems.

  • janie_pearl67 Pearl Janie (@janie_pearl67) reported

    @Laurenx2192 @Outlook I got similar issue with my account , @Charon_Solution could get it back! it is legitimate and does not defraud

  • claire_craw_ Claire Crawford (@claire_craw_) reported

    @Outlook hello is outlook down? Tried emailing on both browsers and not sending and also not updating sent folder and juke folder thank you

  • qpheevr Q. Pheevr (@qpheevr) reported

    Today’s fun project: sending abject apologies to all the students who thought I was ignoring their requests for extensions/reference letters/help because the ******* overzealous campus @Outlook mail server thought their messages were spam. 😳🤬

  • FrankBarilone Frank Barilone Jr. MBA (@FrankBarilone) reported

    @Outlook Why the heck is Inserting a Hyperlink so buggy! Seriously, it freezes the app like 4:10 times and spinning wheel of death for sometimes minutes, and worse sometimes the app goes full Non-Responsive and you lose work in progress! Super aggravating. Fix this please!

  • toddsschneider Todd S. Schneider (Team AstraZeneca)) (@toddsschneider) reported

    @Outlook Outlook down? Cannot verify email account

  • Adron Adron (@Adron) reported

    @kfalconspb @Outlook I don't want to send something if it isn't in their working hours or applicable to their time zone. If there isn't something that tells me what that is, then that's a problem. Thus my crux at the moment w/ Outlook.

  • thewebshaun Shaun (@thewebshaun) reported

    @AverageSophie @Outlook Did you check settings as I suggested? Have you tried to send yourself a test from an alternative email? This isn't an outlook issue. It won't be resolved until you do your due diligence and investigate. Alternatively, I charge $85.00/hour to help people with computers.

  • kcappleguy Chris Huff (@kcappleguy) reported

    @shanselman @WSV_GUY I submitted a support case inside @Outlook , but at the time I thought it was just faceID freezing up. Haven’t reported back new findings, as I don’t think it’s truly an outlook problem.

  • L_azij lana (@L_azij) reported

    @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps my email is not receiving new emails it's been more than a month like that pls fix it

  • RebeccaFrench17 FrenchIllustration (@RebeccaFrench17) reported

    @6Glitz @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps did you get a response? I have exactly the same issue. It works on Safari but everything else I use is in Chrome so that's not helpful!

  • nfallsgirl SAJC (@nfallsgirl) reported

    @Outlook anybody having issues with their contact lists in email November 3, 2021?????

  • qpheevr Q. Pheevr (@qpheevr) reported

    I hate @Outlook, and all the sleazy bullshit the server does to make life difficult for anyone who dares to use a different e-mail client just makes me all the more determined never to use theirs. #pine4ever

  • _SEDill Sara Elizabeth Dill (@_SEDill) reported

    Would be really nice if @Microsoft @Outlook would fix the glitch with iOS 15….

  • FreyjaMisa Misa Freyja (@FreyjaMisa) reported

    @MFAThai I need to speak with someone regarding the Thailand Pass. There is an error with @Outlook accounts receiving their confirmation emails/ Thailand Passes. I need mine reissued to another email address as it hasn't come through. Thank you

  • oscar_parisi Òscar Parisi (@oscar_parisi) reported

    @MilleKamradt @Outlook Does it work now for you? I still have the issue...

  • MatutinalLife Imran Khan (@MatutinalLife) reported

    @Outlook Hi, I keep getting this message when I sign into my Hotmail and try to click on a message: "Your message can't be displayed right now". How do I fix this?

  • sesquiotic James Harbeck (@sesquiotic) reported from Vancouver, British Columbia

    @qpheevr @Outlook The York U email server sent one of my assignments straight to spam and it was just luck that I happened to find out the prof hadn’t received it and was on the point of grading me accordingly.

  • kanchanray Kanchan Ray (@kanchanray) reported

    Finally stopped using @Outlook Android mobile App.. It keeps losing credentials & I have to re-login every 2-3 days. Worked with @Microsoft support team for 2-3 months, even gave them a test account. After countless re-installs - still not fixed.. default Samsung App works fine.

  • CepeSmith Cepe Smith (@CepeSmith) reported

  • John_Dillinga John_Dillinga (@John_Dillinga) reported

    @Microsoft @Windows @Outlook you need to fix your junk mail filters for Hotmail/Outlook because I am getting bombarded again by repetitive spam and phishing emails in my inbox that usually go to my junk mail. I keep reporting them as junk and nothing happens. Over 200 a day!.

  • notjustanyButch A Butch (@notjustanyButch) reported

    @Outlook will you please update your thousands of customers and business owners regarding the issues we are all having with Outlook? Emails not sending or arriving for long stretches of time. IT company said all of her customers are calling with same complaints. News?
