    @Outlook Dear Outlook team my hotmail id is not working and saying it is temporarily blocked without any notification and also not let me add my cell phone number on it saying this facility not available in my country

  • marktluszcz Mark Tluszcz (@marktluszcz) reported

    How can the new @Outlook be so bad? Search is excessivel slow, lookup of emails is terrible. I've rolled back to the old version for the second time. Yes AI matters, but how about getting basic productivity tools right as well?

  • thesincerecoceo Ashaun Ashanti Sincere, Esq. (@thesincerecoceo) reported

    @Outlook My account was compromised. I gave you the exact recovery date, I pay for premium security, and I’ve spoken to reps who promised help—yet nothing. Still locked out. @Office this is negligence, not support. Stop making empty promises and fix this.

  • BingIsBackBaby James Bing (@BingIsBackBaby) reported

    Why does @Microsoft365 for #macOS suck so much? You cannot change the display name of a user for iMAP e-mail in @Outlook... This is a paid product...$180 a year and it's coded by cretins. @Microsoft365 can you fix this ASAP! #TechFail

  • Fochless Aleph Warble (@Fochless) reported

    @Outlook @Microsoft the new outlook experience on windows (not the old client) is increasingly unpredictable. Dynamic and contextual popups along with unreliable reading pane behaviors are pushing me towards the old, uglier client. Cut down on the fancy, focus on predictability.

  • RaxM__ RaxM (@RaxM__) reported

    @Outlook whenever I try to log in to my hotmail account I'm asked to verify through 'another email' or use my password. I obviously choose password and I can't log in. Based in the U.K, however I don't have this issue when I use a VPN. Why?
