Sriprakash Rao Talpady ಶ್ರೀಪ್ರಕಾಶ ರಾವ್ ತಲಪಾಡಿ (@TalpadySR) reported@Outlook If there is a prize for damaging a perfectly working app with a new version much worse than before, you stand in the first place as a contender. Many useful features are gone. New version is slow & unfriendly. I can't go back as it can't connect to my Google A/C !

JoeGeeky (@JoeGeeky) reported@Microsoft @Outlook What's the point in sending 'Feedback' using the "Feedback Hub" if there are no answers and things don't get addressed? Myself and others have reported exploit issues in Outlook and other apps... and nothing... silence...

Sidhant Ranjan Shrivastava (@sidhantranjan) reported@MicrosoftHelps @Microsoft @Outlook I can’t log in to my personal Hotmail account. I receive the verification code on my alternate email, but after entering it, I get “Please try again later” for several days. Please help fix this issue.

Suzanne Lanoue (she, her, hers) 🤎🧡🩷❤️💗💖💜💝💘 (@slanoue2016) reported@Outlook How do we get support from a live person? Nothing is working. My husband can get on his Hotmail account on his phone, but it's not working on any of our laptops. He doesn't have MS Authenticator set up, and it's confusing as to how to do that. When we ask to send a code to his phone, it never arrives. He's not sure about his password. When he tried it, it said he was locked out. He doesn't have a security key, etc. When we tried phoning for help, the automated thing just sends us back to the Web. Please help! This is maddening.

Citizen of Realville (@JeffWhalen989) reported@Outlook @Microsoft Why does Microsoft make it increasingly difficult to sign in to check Outlook?? If you’re trying to make it “better”, you’re failing hard. I wish you could take your email address with you to a different provider like your phone number.
