Just fine

I use it for work at two jobs and it works just fine. I’m able to retrieve from both remotely.

Desperately needed for iPhone

I like many people use Outlook for personal mail but my employer forbids using Outlook for personal email. This app solves the issue on the iPad but unfortunately it’s difficult to put an iPad in your pocket and walk around with it for mission critical notification push email and as ones main phone.

So far I’ve been accused of negligence and threatened with termination multiple times for not answering timely emails. Using OWA on a browser does not send notification of incoming emails and pending totals requiring keeping the app open and checking the app constantly all day and night so as not to miss an incoming email.

I’ve been told I cannot use “safe” mail apps for enterprise email based in India and Russia (I will not mention the app names).

Don’t see why this option is no longer available for the iPhone. I literally may have stop getting personal email on my phone, buy a second phone just for work or quit my job. Having this app on the iPhone again would solve this issue for me and the hundreds of complaints I’ve seen on the internet about not being able to use two separate copies of Outlook on phones!

I need this app for work, but its unusable as is.

I need this app for work but literally every time I open an attachment, the app crashes. My current solution is to just forward all e-mails with attachments to an e-mail I have access to, and deal with the attachments there. As you can imagine, this hampers work flow and makes things rather inefficient.

Edit: I added a star. My initial issue seems to have been fixed. Opening attachments no longer crashes the app. However, I still have an issue uploading my own attachments. The only options I have are to upload a new picture, pictures from library, or a signature. I need to be able to attach files from the Files app in order to use this properly.

OWA is not loading my Exchange account

OWA is refusing to load my account telling me to contact my account administrator. Microsoft for small business owners who use Exchange Online, you need to get rid of that stupid statement, it is akin to when windows would flash a message saying you performed an illegal operation when all you were doing was trying to save a file. Microsoft needs to stop thinking like software engineers and think like end users.

Having said that, I do not like using the iOS Mail app on my iPad, I prefer to use OWA. Clearly, if I can access my Exchange account through iOS Mail nothing is wrong with it and something is wrong with OWA. Please fix the app and make it recognize my credentials.

App frozen after ios update

This app has worked well for a few years, but since updating my iPad system 3 days ago it gets frozen on the “passcode required” page. Can't click on the link to continue. Deleting and reinstalling app doesn't help. Hoping this can be fixed asap.
