    @Microsoft @Outlook Two factor authentication for Hotmail is still not working. This is pathetic! I have been locked out of my email since last 3 days. You guys haven't been supportive. Neither can I find a way to ask for support. #microsoft #microsoftoutlook #hotmail

  • ahsaanulhaqlone Ahsaan Ul Haq Lone (@ahsaanulhaqlone) reported

    @LewisCollege @Outlook No, they are worst. They don't provide support to their customers. Who stuck by their side since the advent of Gmail. Yet these Microsoft idiots never support. They never accept their problems. They will tell you to wait for one month.

    Hi @Outlook/@MicrosoftHelps, we've been having problems sending and receiving important work e-mails. For those of us communicating via e-mails, this has completely hindered our routines and blocked our progress. Can you please help us with this? Thank you.

  • Blewzman MR B (@Blewzman) reported

    @Microsoft @Outlook fix your server problems! This is ridiculous

  • Badasss91448909 Badasss (@Badasss91448909) reported

    @Outlook actually, search is not working at all!

  • Jackintx85 jackintx (@Jackintx85) reported

  • HayleyjaneSimmo Hayley Jane Simmons (@HayleyjaneSimmo) reported from Brentwood, England

    @Outlook @chetanparmar91n Please help. My Hotmail is down. Emails not sending. All over the place. Can you advise?

  • blobdell Bryce (@blobdell) reported

    @Outlook I realized that I haven't received any emails today or yesterday and nobody showed up for my meeting because nobody received an invite. You have GOT TO FIX THIS. Started working when I restarted Outlook. You can't have outlook just stop working without saying a word.

  • SorawitPai Sorawit Pai (@SorawitPai) reported

    .@Outlook Is your junk/spam filter broken or something? I’ve been receiving significantly more junk emails in the past month.

  • ahsaanulhaqlone Ahsaan Ul Haq Lone (@ahsaanulhaqlone) reported

    Hotmail, two factor authentication is not working. @Microsoft @Outlook #microsoftoutlook

  • DoctorBrowning Zo ♡ (@DoctorBrowning) reported

    @Outlook Unfortunately this doesn’t resolve my issue, I’ve dropped you a DM

  • JMcmarket JD McMarket (@JMcmarket) reported

    Not sure if others having this issue - seems like @Outlook is down again... #MicrosoftOutage

  • vrijilesh Vrijilesh Rai (@vrijilesh) reported

    @SampoornaKranti @gmail @Outlook "On the server".

  • chrismnicola Chris Nicola (@chrismnicola) reported

    @Outlook Oh wow just realized that 'p' and 'n' were mapped as "previous" and "next". No... just... no. Please fix this. Doing this is like a video game mapping wasd to u-up, d-down, l-left, r-right. I mean I get it, your designer has never heard of VIm.

  • BrianDHinson1 Brian D Hinson 🇾🇪🇵🇸 (@BrianDHinson1) reported

    I don't know what the deal is but I ALWAYS and REPEATEDLY have to mark email from @Asimovs_SF as safe and it STILL gets chucked into the junk folder. Dear @Outlook please fix. I'm seriously tired of this.

  • MichaelEly21 Michael Ely (@MichaelEly21) reported

    @Jackintx85 @Outlook same issue with a client. Similar location.

  • chris_m216 HomeAutomation (@chris_m216) reported

    After becoming utterly annoyed at getting a false red notification sign in my chrome tab to trick me into looking at an ad, I have now decided to opt out of Outlook's interface completely and use Gmail's integration instead @Outlook you need to fire your product manager

  • EzekielPhenix Ezekiel Phenix (@EzekielPhenix) reported

    @Outlook I spend over an hour a month just trying to login to your pos free email. My university never should have left gmail. And I reported your little forced to accept data collection agreement for authenticator (still cant set that up by the way) to the FTC as a contract of adhesion

  • Alfonsiawarrior Kim Johnson (@Alfonsiawarrior) reported

    @Outlook - the layout on Web Access is not very well thought-out. starters the icon should be yellow 2nd the Web Access layout need to be much clearer... i work with hundreds of invoices & if probs w desktop version then Web version slows me down immensely.

  • ahsaanulhaqlone Ahsaan Ul Haq Lone (@ahsaanulhaqlone) reported

    @Outlook @LewisCollege Don't be happy, you tell your tweeting customers to DM and then you never check your dms. We call your support and they keep telling us, Server Issue. It might take a month. Wtf!

  • FilipKarmonski Felipe Carmona (@FilipKarmonski) reported

    Is @Outlook down?

  • ahsaanulhaqlone Ahsaan Ul Haq Lone (@ahsaanulhaqlone) reported

    @Outlook Hello pathetic email service. When will you fix your Authentication Codes.

  • Vince19752 1975phan (@Vince19752) reported

    @Outlook Our office uses Outlook but we are looking into changing. We have a constant issue that they cannot seem to repair. Outlook has gone downhill since 2010. Just awful. Bad for business.

  • cnoevl21 Christopher Anthony (@cnoevl21) reported

    .@Outlook what have you done to the website? It is terrible! So many #bugs. Hit delete, takes like 10 seconds for it to happen. pinned emails, come and go at random. the ad shows up randomly (looking like an email) and shifts the actual emails. It is almost unusable #outlook
