    Dear @Outlook team - whatever fancy spam filter algorithm you have implemented is not working. Perfectly legit #emails with proper auth from reputable providers are randomly ending up in #spam. Your support team is not equipped to provide an answer. Not good! It is 2021, come on!

    @jfdwolff @Outlook Removee from my outlook as it asks me everytime I login. Decided it will stay in my browser from now in instead. 😔😔😔

    So, @UserVoice has moved to sign in using email links only, without using a password. I guess to make sure people do not share logins. Well, would be great if @Outlook would not drop all of the sign in emails to spam... :)

    @Outlook I’m having issues logging into my outlook email as well as my laptop! And it says I can regain access to my laptop if I can log into my outlook account but it won’t let me log into it even though I was certain I knew the password! Please help me it’s very important

    @mha1der @THEKyleMoffatt @Outlook Hrmph. I'm out of ideas then. Please reproduce the issue and then choose Contact Support from the Help menu so that we can learn more about what's happening in your case.

    @Outlook Please. Fix your iOS app badges. Broken for 3 years. They dont update unless you open the app, making quick actions (3D touch/long press) USELESS.

    @Outlook How can the (free) OWA, behave better than the actual (paid) app? I'm sick that, in order to solve a simple problem, I'll need to execute Powershell commands.

    Hey @Outlook, I think there's an issue with your Android app. I dismiss a calendar notification and a few minutes later is reappears on my phone.

    @Outlook hello, trying to contact the helpdesk with no response - my account on the iOS (IMAP) doesnt show notifications even everything is turn on. Exchange account works with no problem. Any updates of the app? Thanks!

    Vince Mitchell (@vmitchell85) reported

    Hey @Outlook … I never want to reply to myself… why does your stupid app always do that?!?! If I’m in a thread and hit reply and I was the last one to email it should be smarter! Never have this issue with other email apps!

    Two things that cannot be achieved in this world: dividing by zero and completely shutting down the @Outlook.exe process without reboot.

    @Outlook Why does Outlook Android endlessly want me to sign in to Outlook for Business, which I don't have and haven't set up, but just flashes open Authenticator (already signed in) then returns to Outlook and alerts again? 2FA/MFA is terrible.

    @Outlook Hi there, just wondering if any one can help me with an email issue. I need to send a email , in this mail I need to send 6 other emails . Rather than individually forwarding them, is it possible to send them in one covering email as attachments?
