Roni (@srijansen39) reported@Outlook @MicrosoftHelps Hi Microsoft/Outlook team, I recently created a Microsoft account and got an @outlook.com email by default. But every email I send to Gmail addresses lands in the recipient's Spam folder, so they never see it. This is causing major inconvenience— Fix this
-

NorthCarolinaTrader (@NCarolinaTrader) reportedIs it just me, or has @Outlook become an absolute pile of garbage that has us loathing Microsoft Corporation. Bad software has become absolute garbage. I open this junk, my accounts are no longer set up, then you need a PhD in computer science to fix the problem.
-
Declan Lane (@lane_declan) reported@michaelhannaa @Outlook Terrible.
-
Brian Fontana (@CodeFoxtrot) reported@IAmTimCorey @Copilot @Outlook I uninstalled copilot and m365 last week, will try again in the future! I think the first biggest issue they need to fix, is why there are two copilot apps that appear to be similar, but are self-described to be different, and then you need to have two on your system. Doesn't make much sense!
-

Mister Kayne (@MisterKayne76) reportedOver 10 lockouts and endless appeals later, @Outlook is officially the most "secure" account I own—mostly because even I can't get into it. @Microsoft , please fix this verification loop. It’s exhausting.
-
