    @Outlook Hello, I'm having a lot of trouble logging in. I can't get in, even after changing my password. And your help center is completely useless. I have no idea what I can/should do next.

    @Microsoft @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps Hello. I’ve been unable to access my account (forgot password — so far, unable to complete process to make new password) since last week’s outage. How long in terms of hours do I need to wait before another log-in/ change password attempt?

    I have never bailed from using an app faster than finding out @Outlook injects actual ads that look like emails directly in the inbox. @Microsoft why do you have to make everything so terrible?

    @Outlook my account got blocked, even though I haven't sent a mail in months, And the recovery option through phone is not working, it tells me to choose another option. All my academic documents, banking apps are connected to the account. Give my account back to me.

  • consumright ConsumrighT (@consumright) reported

    "If @Outlook (and windows more generally) can detect issues, why can’t they clearly identify the problems and provide relevant solutions? Typical @Microsoft & @Windows oversight! 4/4

    @Outlook hello 👋🏻 is Hotmail/outlook still down? I can’t seem to log in or receive emails

  • sujitk88 Sujit Kulkarni (@sujitk88) reported

    @danzrc88 @Outlook @Microsoft Tried this in my laptop, I switched to a VPN and it resolved immediately, likely an IP throttling or network issue. If you're stuck, give VPN a try. Before that clear all cache cookies from the browser and use the Outlook Web instead of the Outlook application.
