    @Microsoft @Office @Outlook guys, I don’t know what the problem is but you need to red team your outlook search. It is such a train wreck you are for sure leaving billions of dollars of global economic development on the table from this one single thing

    @Outlook How is your app so terrible and preventing junk/phishing emails going into peoples main inbox? Useless and the worst at it. You must be making something from it.

  • mattyhattycat
    eeeeeeee (@mattyhattycat) reported

    @Outlook @Kareem1702 It happens to me every week and you never respond on tweets or in messages. Why don't you just fix the issues, people have been complaining for months now.

    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

    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
