    @shanselman @WSV_GUY I submitted a support case inside @Outlook , but at the time I thought it was just faceID freezing up. Haven’t reported back new findings, as I don’t think it’s truly an outlook problem.

    @Outlook will you please update your thousands of customers and business owners regarding the issues we are all having with Outlook? Emails not sending or arriving for long stretches of time. IT company said all of her customers are calling with same complaints. News?

    @Outlook Hello ; Unfortunately, no corrections were made for 7 days. I was constantly given the message that a correction was being made. However, there has been no fix, we can't send emails to people using hotmail.

    @Outlook What's the point of having a password if you don't let me in even with the right password. Having issues logging in because you guys "detected something unusual". -_- I've had this account for 15 years, PLEASE NEED HELP!

    @Suhail @dane_albaugh My @Outlook on Mac has been super buggy for years across laptops. Hundreds of users report these issues and MSFT won’t fix. IT departments don’t care if software is slow or not syncing, esp email, they care it’s secure with all security bells and whistles. Excel is still magical.

    Dear @Microsoft, @Outlook, I open you support chat for Outlook on my phone. The person responding doesn't read my question correctly, responds with an answer that has nothing to do with my problem and never responds again. 1/3

    @Outlook are you currently ignoring everyone with an issue with your poor service or are you just inundated with people hacked off at your inability to provide an email service

    @etysontx @Outlook I believe Google does not use Folder Structure like Microsoft Outlook uses. The emails are essentially "labelled" or "Marked". So when making folders in Outlook App for Gmail, it's why youay have issues. Realized this issue when migrating a Gmail to Outlook Account

    @Outlook Why is my outlook not working on Android. I had to delete it because it won't accept my server settings. I have been using outlook for years. 2 days ago it stopped working! I have tried everything!

    @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook 2. Her phone number was all that was on the account for recovery purposes. A "bot" or some entity decides to repeatedly get into her account so Microsoft shuts it down and asks for verification. We supply the CORRECT phone number and it won't txt to a regular phone...
