    Hey! @Outlook I've had enough of this, you've got to stop the scam emails on your app. Today I had 10 scams and I reported them, and reported them again on my junk mail! If you can't help me with this then, I will complain about this on going issue to your management!

    @Outlook You need to fix this ASAP. It really is frustrating. It’s turning into google’s search engine, just a bunch of ads and useless results that aren’t even close, to what I was searching for.

    Weird @Microsoft #outage today. I can’t access @Outlook at all, but some of my coworkers can, but some of their apps don’t work. I am truthfully in the “this really sucks” category. Have things to do.

    @eternalsparrow1 @USCPSC They are still selling fraudulent capacity 18650 batteries but CPSC is not taking them down on that. Also the remedy involves contacting an @outlook.com email so CPSC is posing a potential cybersecurity risk.

    @Outlook closing down an email account, that’s been used for many yrs, and accessed from the same device, with no VPN or blocks identified 😬 and the correct input of info.

  • wxkeup_1

    @Outlook why is password sign in constantly unavailable to my hotmail (outlook) account 90 percent of the time, requiring me to use sign in using a code? As someone who has had this email account with you for 25 years - it has become infuriating to use.

    @Outlook I'm trying to sign into my email. It keeps telling me to enter a second email address to "protect my account". I only have one email. I don't want a second email. I'm old fashioned, I just want to sign in using my password, and access my emails.

    @Outlook I am not able to login my account as I forgot my password. So I tried to login using Phone Number OTP to sign in but all it shows is - "That method isn't working right now. Please try another way to verify it's you" Kindly help me to access my outlook account

    @Outlook Outlook won't accept the images, even though they are very small. I'm wasting a lot of time. It's an incredibly primitive issue.

    @Outlook The verification is not working for me when I try to log in via my laptop. Could you assist.

    @Outlook Why remove Send Availability from the mobile app? It was one of the most useful features for scheduling on the go. Now the calendar button only creates events, and checking free times requires minimizing the draft or saving it just to switch tabs. Proposing 3–5 options has become a slow back-and-forth process.
