@Outlook Please. I'm begging you. STOP trying to get me to use New Outlook for Mac. I am not some luddite who hates change. New Outlook is just genuinely terrible for power users.

@Outlook Hello. I can't recover my outlook email because the recovery form asks for the last emails I sent. The account has never sent any emails. I explained the issue in your dm. Please check.

@SQLAllFather @Outlook I don’t understand why MSFT are so bad at this aspect of design. Trans is dreadful. Outlook too. People need to be able to switch off notifications. It’s not a nice-to-have. It’s a critical issue for the emotional health of many users.

How can @Outlook be such a terrible user experience and still be like the most used email client for business? How do you screw up the ability to open an image and view it separately on desktop? On my phone I tap an image it brings up a viewer. On desktop it does nothing.

Agghh @Office365 why have you broken 'Dictate' in @Outlook . The command 'New Line' now writes the words 'New Line'. The newly added 'Auto Punctuation' doesn't seem to do a thing. Why have you broken something that was so good?

I swear @Outlook is the worst. Have constant issues where the sign in screen appears then goes away without any interaction. Every suggestion from their support fails to resolve the issue and now contacting help through the app errors out.

Hey @Microsoft your iOS @Outlook app is broken. Selecting text and then typing doesn’t delete the selected text. Most apps were doing this by default back in the 90s!
