        • Retiring App!!!

          Please DO NOT retire this app. The Outlook app doesn’t even come close to being a replacement.

                  • Passcode required, can’t press “continue”

                    The app says the I need a 4 digit passcode that I will need every time I use the app. There is a “continue”button but nothing happens, I have reset, reinstalled but still the same. I did not have this problem until I updated to a new device.

                    • Automatic Reply (AKA Out of Office) should have a link for help and guidance.

                      Automatic Reply (AKA Out of Office) should have a link for help and guidance. It is very powerful and leaves many novice and new users scratching their heads. Alternatively a simplified initial experience should be offered that simply stops and starts the message and for all users. (In most environments where external needs to get blocked it gets done at the organization level anyway,)

                              I need the shared mailbox te act like a stand alone, so I can connect it to third parties, like Acuity Scheduling.

                                I’ve been using your OWA for Android (pre-release) app for about a year with stellar results.

                                        • Stand-by after 5 minutes

                                          When i’m writing an email, OWA went in the stand-by modus after 5 minutes. When i enter the pin to return to me email, al the writing is gone. What’s the solution for this?
