    @Outlook can you fix your spam filters. I keep marking emails as junk but seems your ML retraining and spam categorisation models are outdated. I'm half considering shifting my main account and using @gmail

    That sinking feeling you get when the ~15 emails you had open in Outlook disappear after a system issue😭 @Outlook team, PLEASE make it more robust!

    I haven’t gotten a work email in an hour and half. Is @Outlook down again or is today just a good day?

    @IAmTimCorey @Copilot @Outlook I uninstalled copilot and m365 last week, will try again in the future! I think the first biggest issue they need to fix, is why there are two copilot apps that appear to be similar, but are self-described to be different, and then you need to have two on your system. Doesn't make much sense!

    Why are @beehiiv newsletters not being delivered to @Outlook? Is it a glitch?

  • economalex
    Alexander Billy (@economalex) reported

    It seems extremely likely the US is experiencing either (a) a series of cyber attacks or (b) basic web infrastructure issues. Both @gmail and @Outlook have been down in the same week.

    @Outlook A Chinese bot (gov) has hacked my account, I’ve still got some access and can see they are scamming people. Reported to you guys and response is fill a form in and no response. Server side rules that I can’t fix despite PW change and forced logoff. Not good

    @Outlook - Just now received an email sent to me on January 22, 2026 at 5:37 p.m. It arrived 1/28/2026 at 10:08 a.m. You claimed to have "fixed" your issues on 1/22 - clearly that was a lie. You had ONE JOB....

    @Outlook @Microsoft Let me back into my email I have had over 20+yrs with no problems you suddenly want to verify, for no reason that govt control. I never got locked out, compromised or illegal activity. It has been fine until now. You are helping to cause the problems this way.
