    @Outlook I’m a sole global admin fully locked out of my business account. The phone number allocated to my case has issues receiving calls. I desperately need this sorted so I can work. Is there anything more I can do, at the very least to change the phone number?

    @Outlook @Microsoft Why does Microsoft make it increasingly difficult to sign in to check Outlook?? If you’re trying to make it “better”, you’re failing hard. I wish you could take your email address with you to a different provider like your phone number.

    Tried the new Outlook app on Windows 11 for a few weeks and reverted back to classic cause of weird email formatting issues. In replies, my emails were returned all stretched out and looked out of whack. @Microsoft @Outlook @Windows

    @gdlinux @Outlook I'm always for open source, but running your own email server was traditionally a hurdle. Any suggestions?

    @Outlook If there is a prize for damaging a perfectly working app with a new version much worse than before, you stand in the first place as a contender. Many useful features are gone. New version is slow & unfriendly. I can't go back as it can't connect to my Google A/C !

    @Microsoft @Outlook Why can't you get your ToDo lists to share without any problems. You are a multi-billion dollar corporation that can't fix $2 problems. #Microsoft

    @Outlook I’m struggling to get any traction from your support teams to regain access to my Hotmail account. Recovery forms are not working. Who do I escalate to? I have had this issue for 1 month now.

    .@Yahoo @YahooCare Yahoo has taken over my @Outlook email for my Yahoo and domain email address and my computer guy can't fix it, except to direct me to web mail. He doesn't believe upgrading to Windows 11 will fix this. Please suggest a fix. Thank you.
