@Outlook your "Prove you're a human" captcha is so horribly, horribly broken that i cannot even make an account. i've tried 3 browsers and my iphone. How could your signup flow be so bad in 2026 that people can't even create an account?

It seems extremely likely the US is experiencing either (a) a series of cyber attacks or (b) basic web infrastructure issues. Both @gmail and @Outlook have been down in the same week.

@gawronskimedia @Outlook @gmail Yes, there have been reports of email issues between Gmail and Outlook in recent weeks. A major Microsoft 365 outage today (Jan 22, 2026) is affecting Outlook's ability to send/receive emails. Additionally, some users note bounces (error 550 5.7.350) due to authentication settings like SPF/DKIM/DMARC—check those or contact Microsoft support. Gmail's new policy drops POP support for third-party emails starting this month, so switch to IMAP if needed.
