    @TBanton18 @Microsoft @Outlook I had the same problem a while ago, absolutely impossible to speak to a human at Microsoft to get support, finally I switched to Gmail, caused a lot of disruption because my old Hotmail is used to verify loads of passwords, annoyingly I keep getting reminders to log into Hotmail

    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

    @simoes_romeo @Outlook Yup. Just fixed it. From last login attempt - need to wait about 1hr. Then these steps: Delete outlook from iPhone mail. Then hard reset phone. Then reinstall Outlook. This worked for me - might help you. Good luck
