Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • cllmclrk Cal online (@cllmclrk) reported

    @Outlook is there any issues with log in at the moment. Trying to log in to email connected to my Instagram and it’s not working, giving completely different recovery details that I don’t recognise.

  • hoyty Hoyty (@hoyty) reported

    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?

  • presidentdyke reb (@presidentdyke) reported

    @Outlook is your email server down? i’m not receiving emails or receiving them very delayed

  • Dante20101 Dante (@Dante20101) reported

    @Outlook login identity verification is not working, my mail logs in without asking for identity verification, i just checked it on another pc.

  • IsobelandCat Isobel (@IsobelandCat) reported

    @Outlook a friend who is on my safe contact list and with whom I have previously exchanged many emails now sends messages which I don’t receive. How to fix this?

  • RegecideTips Regecide (@RegecideTips) reported

    @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

  • RyanTho56114200 Ryan Thomas (@RyanTho56114200) reported

    Again... @Microsoft @Outlook @XboxSupport I hope you people see this... I can't reach a human being in regards to my issue and you guys seem to think it's OK that I lose all this money and time. I've been with you since the beginning but Im ready to switch to ps5 and a macbook

  • JayWhattheF 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.

  • yeonjunsjanitor hikari ♡ (@yeonjunsjanitor) reported

    does anyone know why outlook says my email is always undeliverable when i add 200 bcc recipients? and how do i fix this @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps

  • BinaryJedi Amir (@BinaryJedi) reported

    @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!

  • NaraayanKannan Naraayan Kannan (@NaraayanKannan) reported

    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.

  • bjcls Björn (@bjcls) reported

    @pathak_somesh @Outlook We’ve opened an incident for this and Microsoft acknowledged the issue and is releasing a hotfix.

  • JanicVerboon Janic (@JanicVerboon) reported

    @pathak_somesh @Outlook And if you disable the password requirement in the Exchange policy and secure the app via MAM not work around the issue?

  • pie_lagos PIE Lagos (@pie_lagos) reported

    @Outlook The support is not working. I’m missing incredibly important emails. I don’t know what to do!!!!!! Please please help me

  • acwise AC Wise (@acwise) reported

    @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

  • liampadams Liam (@liampadams) reported

    My Hotmail account will suddenly no longer connect on my phone... it says something about security settings and me not having authorisation to access the server?? @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook

  • politicalfreeak billriggg (@politicalfreeak) reported

  • Pixi_Pix Pixatronica♡ (@Pixi_Pix) reported

    @Outlook I'm still having issues. I've followed all of your online guides.

  • dotJesper Jesper Nielsen [MVP] (@dotJesper) reported from Skanderborg Kommune, Region Midtjylland

    @Outlook Thanks, but this is not a MDM issue, it seems to be an issue with the most recent version og #Outlook for Android. All I need to know, is how to downgrade to the previous version.

  • Pixi_Pix Pixatronica♡ (@Pixi_Pix) reported

    Is the @Outlook app not working for anyone else either?

  • helphrey_ian Ian Helphrey (@helphrey_ian) reported

    @Outlook can you PLEASE fix the spam filter!! For the last 3 or 4 months, spam has been flooding my inbox, and even if some spam does get forwarded to the Junk folder, Outlook automatically flags it as “Important”, which then ends up in my Flagged folder on my iPhone.

  • pathak_somesh Somesh Pathak - MVP - Enterprise Mobility (@pathak_somesh) reported

    @JanicVerboon @Outlook Its on users personal devices so no MAM policies there. We have got the fix from MS

  • tailorguitar TailorGuitar (@tailorguitar) reported

    @Outlook @_MrFisa_ been getting blasted with phishing emails the past 24 hours, they are being delivered to my inbox. This is issue just started please advise

  • kewpeydoll ***** shaggy (@kewpeydoll) reported

    @Outlook is the worst email service, its literally impossible to get help. All support is online but you never speak to a person and all of the pages lead to a dead end error. i am locked out of my account that ive had for years, recovery says it doesn’t exist

  • elxtoro Cristian T (@elxtoro) reported

    @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.

  • denisplotnikov denis (@denisplotnikov) reported

    @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 :(

  • ericlaw Eric Lawrence 🎻 (@ericlaw) reported

    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.

  • HenryRaim Henry_raim (@HenryRaim) reported

    @BinaryJedi @Outlook Go inbox this tech guy @Orgleking_tech on Twitter, he is fast and Accurate in retrieving account, he recovered my account when I got issue and support services aren't responding within 30 minutes..

  • pathak_somesh Somesh Pathak - MVP - Enterprise Mobility (@pathak_somesh) reported

    Hi @Outlook team, the latest build of Outlook app for Android is causing issues with device password policy. Suddenly after upgrade users are prompted to change the device pin to min 8 digits. Is there anything changed in the app policies?
