outlook.com slow and poor

Destination · 1 Jul 2013 at 21:14

Since Hotmail was 'upgraded' to outlook.com I have found the service has become slow, unresponsive, poor to navigate, and worse of all attachments seem to fail 90% of the time.

I am on BT, I find this with safari, IE10 and Chrome.

Am I alone in this, or are others find similar issues with outlook.com?

No there was a thread a couple of days back, personally I don't see any problem as I use the mail client on my PC and the mail client on my phone.

The mail client meaning outlook itself as part of office, integrated into your system?

I have outlook and use it for my pop mail and my gmail integrated into it also, but for various reasons I have never integrates my old hotmail accounts.
Mainly as i like the web based apps in order to use the webmessenger client.

Outlook app as in Windows 8 Metro one I assume.

It's rubbish. I often get the old "cannot connect to Outlook, try again later" or similar message, so I just check on my phone and it's done in 2 seconds. Microsoft really have a knack for widdling on their user base. But we come back for more, every time

Are you all sending feedback via that little smiley button?

I had a few days at the end of last week running very slowly but it's fine now. Not had any problems with attachments.

Using Firefox here, screen blanks after entering login details, then everything loads instantly usually within 5-20 seconds.

It was bad on Monday, and zippy on tuesday, i am unsure of just why I gt these intermittent issues.

Same for me, it's been better lately but every so often it'll just come up with the "Cannot connect..." thing. Crap service, they might as well just show a link to Gmail.
