@films_must Same issue here. I've been trying to send emails from Gmail to @live.com and @outlook.com accounts, just a few of them have reached the inboxes. I am starting to think the issue comes from Google and not Microsoft since now my Gmail account doesn't even work.

@Outlook 2022 has been the year of "Junk Mail in Focused Inbox". For God's sake are you ever going to fix it? #junkmail #hotmail

Jay: What ********
(@JayWhattheF) reported
@Outlook is the worst email option. Especially when you try to use it on a laptop or desktop. It loads 1 out of every 10 times and then bogs down even the most top of the line systems more often than not. Bleach is the only drink for the people of that company.

@Outlook Hi there guys! Just want to ask a quick question: is there any chance that you can fix the bug in Outlook for Mac that doesn't auto-fill the name of the sender in «To:» field? It's known for a couple of years already :(

Dear @sundarpichai Sorry for the trouble, but can you kindly ask someone to fix the text formatting in @gmail so that it becomes compatible with @Outlook? There are several size/font mismatches when we use Gmail on browser & it lands in someone's outlook. Long standing issue.

@Outlook Is there a human that can help with customer problems??? I've tried the stupid "recovery form" multiple times, but it doesn't work, and there's no email to contact customer support. I live in Africa, and your CS is worse than the Cape Town Metro service

@Outlook SOS! Since 3 days ago I’ve had issues with my Outlook mail. I received a pop-up on my iPad (iOS 16.1) telling me that my Outlook mail account’s password is incorrect. I ignored the error and later when I was checking my inbox I noticed all my emails are gone! Help me!

Hi @Outlook, why are emails from gmail not being received by my hotmail account? It's affected my colleagues as well and I've tested it multiple times, so it isn't an isolated problem.

@elxtoro @Outlook I'm applying for a new job too and have been waiting for the delayed emails from Gmail accounts 😭. I eventually received the emails with horrible delayed time ... Hope they'll fix it ASAP.

Hey @Microsoft I am glad you're adding new features to @Outlook but instead of new features could you fix your style support so creating emails for Outlook on Windows isn't such a pain in butt? macOS has better styling support than Windows, please fix that.

Junk mail filtering on Hotmail / @Outlook Live has gone from acceptable to wildly broken and has remained that way for a month. Perhaps it's time to give up the account after over 20 years.

Hey @Outlook on the new Outlook desktop client it seems like the spell check cannot handle mixed language messages. In the old Outlook desktop which heavily relied on Word for editing this wasn't an issue. Will this be fixed?

@candiesandcokes @Outlook Same issue. My outlook accounts are either not getting emails from Gmail accounts or getting them with a delay of 5 hours. I'm applying to a new job and this issue could cost me this one time chance!!!!

@Outlook Yeh did that few minutes ago, by the way tested the problem using a different hotmail to send to my own hotmail (using a different network to be sure), receiving immediately, so it seems limited to gmail trying to reach hotmail accounts.

@Outlook So is there an actual problem? Because it’s completely unreliable for several days now. By the way, some mails DO come in, I’ve send myself 3 mails, 2 are still lost now and haven’t come in, 1 did immediately. Checked on several networks and devices.
