  • ftp_alun Alun Jones (@ftp_alun) reported

    @Outlook is so screwed up when it comes to recurring meetings. Moving some occurrences? No problem. Shortening / lengthening the sequence? All occurrences are moved back to their original time. Adding / removing an attendee? All occurrences are moved back to their original time.

  • Faisalomerz Faisal Mohammed (@Faisalomerz) reported

    @Outlook create a feature to recall emails, just like delete in WhatsApp. The wrong ones sent in error can be miserable.

  • princepandey94 Prince Pandey (@princepandey94) reported

  • DBA_Empress Mary L Cottingham (she/her) (@DBA_Empress) reported from Montgomery, New Jersey

    @microsoft... is @Outlook scrambled today or am I personally blessed to have my mail not communicating with my laptop, but working fine on my mobile? Thought I'd check before I sell a piece of my soul to connect to corporate IT, in light of yesterday's Teams outage.
