@Outlook Microsoft hotmail has sunk to a new low in continuing efforts to jam ads down our throats. Now I see ads showing up in my inbox as if they were legit mail? Come on Microsoft, are you really that desperate? Might be finally time to switch to gmail.

@Outlook why I can’t receive any email anymore? I can send them, I’ve tested it. My boss told me she send me an email twice which I haven’t received. I tried to send myself an email from another account and didn’t receive it either. Have the issue on both browser and iphone app.

@caplansteve One issue is there is a problem with @Outlook and list-serves. For whatever reason the default is to reply to the sender and the list-serve. That should NOT be the default when using “reply”. It’s caused privacy issues on my campus and needs to be fixed.

Just heard from a client that @Outlook subscribes to the UCEPROTECT scam, so if you have a server with any hosts that UCEPROTECT dislikes, despite how well you configured yours, your emails will be screwed. UCEPROTECT was exposed before COVID, fix this please. @MicrosoftHelps

@Google I have 2 accounts. I can log in via browser and read e-mails. Both accounts share the same confirmation phone number. I was able to connect the first one with @Outlook via the web based login dialog after multiple attempts. 2nd account: no chance. Screenshot above.

@Outlook still sends me emails and documents from people I don't know because our surname or e-mail is a bit similar. So I have access to information from the bill such as name, address and even time and duration of internet usage. Isn't this a serious privacy issue?

@Outlook I have been trying for days to regain access to an old e-mail account. The problem is I forgot my password and the recovery e-mail was with AOL who deactivated the account. I have tried a number of times to fill out the recovery form but get rejected every time. Any help?

@Outlook No, I am still getting the error if I try to get the code via text. If I put in the wrong last 4 of a phone #, I get the normal message that says “if **** matches the last 4 digits, we’ll send you a code.” But when I put in the correct last 4, I get “we couldn’t send the code.”
