    Boy, @Outlook web version is making me crazy. Cannot figure out how to scroll down through lots of messages. There doesn't seem to be any way of paging through them. It's this endless bottom scroll of ten messages at a time. If you get twenty or fifty emails a day...

  • traviswelborn Travis Welborn (@traviswelborn) reported

    I was resetting my #microsoftoutlook password. After I did, when I tried signing in, it was asking me for the code that was sent on my outlook account instead of my new password. If I am not able to sign in, how would I get the code?? @outlooksupport6 @Outlook @Office

    @HarryPaye @Outlook Yes. @Outlook was fine when I checked my emails on break at work, but since getting home it won't load up on Chrome at all. Seem to still have access on my basic email app on my phone though and can sign into OneDrive without any problems on desktop either. Very strange!
