-
Asrın Senemoğlu (@asrinsenemoglu) reportedMy bank account (Isbank) is officially linked to this compromised email address. I am ready to submit legal/banking documentation. This is not just an account issue, this is an active financial cybercrime in progress! @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook

🚀K.R.I.S. (@KrisWorkLife) reportedOops! Just realized that @Outlook doesn’t give you an option to choose a time zone for scheduled messages. What a bummer. @Microsoft please fix or add this option. 🚀

osman (@osman_cetin) reported@Outlook for days i am trying to reset my password to access some really urgent medical files and eventhough i have registered phone it seems that verification method is not working at all. This is very urgent medical need and would appreciate your assistance
-
Finchwizard (@Finchwizard) reportedWe’re in 2026 and @Outlook still can’t fix notifications and badges on iOS. It’s NEVER RIGHT. Always get these mystery notifications. Telling me 2 new emails and there’s only 1. Most frustrating thing. #outlooksucks
-
Diagnosis (@Diagnosis410227) reported@Outlook I really have issues with my account, please help @Outlook
-
Wade Dorrell (@waded) reported@Outlook please fix Android app notification actions. I hit DELETE on the notification, I want the notification to dismiss in 500ms or less, and I expect that the next time I check inbox, what I said I wanted deleted is deleted. Network delay, already-deleted-elsewhere, not even visible in inbox yet, yeah I know these things happen, but they can't be allowed to let the notification go unresponsive to actions taken.

Nathan Wolfe (@skadizzle) reportedI see that the @Outlook issue is supposedly resolved, but my email at work is still down since yesterday

-
✨Luminous✨ (@wxkeup_1) reported@Outlook why is password sign in constantly unavailable to my hotmail (outlook) account 90 percent of the time, requiring me to use sign in using a code? As someone who has had this email account with you for 25 years - it has become infuriating to use.
-
Stewart 🏴 🇨🇦 (@Stewmeak) reported@Outlook How is your app so terrible and preventing junk/phishing emails going into peoples main inbox? Useless and the worst at it. You must be making something from it.

-
Liam_profile (@Liam_profile) reported@Outlook is down and suddenly the entire corporate world has remembered how dependent we are on email. 💀 Emails delayed. Messages failing. Login issues. People refreshing Outlook like it’s going to magically fix itself. One cloud outage → millions of workflows pause. The internet runs on infrastructure most people never think about… until it stops working.
-
D🧚🏽 (@_preciousdee) reportedFix this please @Outlook
-
None of These Candidates (@noneofthesecand) reportedTrying to think of a way @Outlook or @MicrosoftHelps could be EVEN MORE retarded but I can't think of a way. You and your DEI hires just add spam calendar invites without even asking me... Then I can't use the app bc you want me to login with Outlook which is RETARDED because...
