  @Outlook unable to login to my 15 years old Hotmail account even though I have the same phone number, your captcha verifications are so lame

  Microsoft @Outlook is beyond broken. I accidentally wrote a wrong email ID (external) which failed to deliver. Now, I am trying to send it to the correct id, but outlook keeps "correcting" me to the wrong one. No intuitive way to bypass this. This has to be a joke or something.

  Well @Microsoft .. guess I better sort out all my **** that I use a hotmail account for and get it changed over to Gmail or other option. 3 days down is a little much when finances/trips/etc depend on info sharing via email. #microsoft #outlook #hotmail @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps

  @Outlook the new Outlook desktop app needs to go back to the drawing board. It is terrible and does not work as it should. Ya need to build a Native App and not all these web apps with terrible function. This and @MicrosoftTeams new desktop app are bad.

  When you can implement input focus in 2 steps out of 3 in the login form, what's the reason to not implement in the OTP section too @Outlook?

  @Outlook I liked Outlook Express, BUT, I just can’t stand Outlook in it’s present configuration. It has to be slimmed down and more useful before I’ll use it. I like MS, but I don’t like Outlook at all…just way too complicated.

  Microsoft has to stop making so many changes to its menus in Outlook. It increases irritation and cognitive load too much if people constantly are having to track down where a command is, such as how to insert an emoji in an email. @Outlook #microsoft #microsoftoutlook

  @thefrostlord @Outlook Correct passwords are not being accepted by Outlook: "You've tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect account or password."

  @Outlook 4 inscrutable puzzles to help you fight “the robots” only for it to encounter an unexpected error and have me do it again. Useless anti-user company. Absolute out of touch disgrace.

  @Outlook are you aware of any glitches with shared calendars? I’ve lost 2 of my family calendars overnight and they can’t see mine anymore either. Have deleted them and readded. Still not working.

  The new @Outlook is terrible, you can’t even respond to original emails sent to you if someone that was cc’d sends a response to that email and you press reply as well it will never go back to the original email it will only respond to the person that responded. Terrible update

  Calling the new @Office @Outlook garbage would be unfair to all garbage. Why the heck would you come out with such a slow web app looking monstrosity. Go back to legacy.

  @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.

  @TBanton18 @Microsoft @Outlook I had the same problem a while ago, absolutely impossible to speak to a human at Microsoft to get support, finally I switched to Gmail, caused a lot of disruption because my old Hotmail is used to verify loads of passwords, annoyingly I keep getting reminders to log into Hotmail
