    @Outlook I know you want everyone paying for Office365, but do you really need to make configuring IMAP accounts so difficult. Just give the option to specify the servers without just assuming them. I shouldn't have to go into Control Panel to fix it!

  • withShay_ Shay (@withShay_) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook WHY HASN’T THIS ISSUE BEEN FIXED? I’m still receiving hundreds of spam emails. This is unacceptable!!!!

  • Jedi1982 jedi1982 (@Jedi1982) reported

    @Outlook your validation process is broken. One of my accounts is locked and am trying to get in. I input my phone number but am not receiving the text to validate. Tried following instructions online to contact support but am stuck in an endless loop! I need my account unlocked!

  • elSenorPluto Ripe Plantain™ (@elSenorPluto) reported

    @Outlook Why is there no unified inbox in the new outlook on Windows? This is one of the cons of mega corps. If MS was a small start-up, this issue we have being raging on for the past 2 yrs would have been solved under 2 weeks. You disabled a working app and forced dogshit on us
