  @Outlook can you fix your spam filters. I keep marking emails as junk but seems your ML retraining and spam categorisation models are outdated. I'm half considering shifting my main account and using @gmail

  @Outlook Are there issues with Outlook on iOS 26.4? I’ve been getting delayed notifications for a couple weeks. The email will show in my inbox, but I’ll get the iOS notification a couple minutes after.

  @Outlook the Outlook password recovery system is not working for me. It keeps kicking me out. Can I speak with somebody or can somebody please help me? I’ve been spending two weeks trying to get my email back.

  @Outlook I’m struggling to get any traction from your support teams to regain access to my Hotmail account. Recovery forms are not working. Who do I escalate to? I have had this issue for 1 month now.

  @Outlook A quick scroll of your account shows others with the same problem. What is happening over there? The email in question is my main email that I've had for nearly 30 years.

  @Outlook Horrible tech support, having email issues, and everyone I get just passes me to another department. This is only going to get worse! #needalternative #trainbetter

  @Outlook I was able to fix the problem using another computer and a different network.

  Cheekyman81 (@1_hsm) reported 21 minutes ago

  @Outlook why are your teams refusing to help with my Hotmail account recovery and just asking me to fill out recovery forms again and again. This is not working. This is my own personal data which I have a right to. Please help me

  Dwight Young (@TheDwightYoung) reported 33 minutes ago

  @Microsoft @Office @Outlook Why does Outlook for Mac always have non-stop issues? Why is my desktop app unable to Sync or connect for hours, sometimes even the entire day, multiple times per month? There's some MAJOR issues inside Outlook for Mac OS and it's not just mine.

  @Outlook @Microsoft Why does Microsoft make it increasingly difficult to sign in to check Outlook?? If you’re trying to make it “better”, you’re failing hard. I wish you could take your email address with you to a different provider like your phone number.

  Andrew Hopkins (@F19ADH) reported 45 minutes ago

  I see @Microsoft @Outlook must have had another issue/breakdown in spam filters as their service becomes completely unusable for me AGAIN! Multiple copies of emails getting through. As you scan every email how can you not detect spam contents that match deluges of reports to you?

• 
  Alexander Billy (@economalex) reported 45 minutes ago

  It seems extremely likely the US is experiencing either (a) a series of cyber attacks or (b) basic web infrastructure issues. Both @gmail and @Outlook have been down in the same week.

• 
  NorthCarolinaTrader (@NCarolinaTrader) reported 47 minutes ago

  Is 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.

  FallingDebris (@VolatileAmine) reported 55 minutes ago

  @Outlook you’d think your server could block phishing emails. FFS, the floodgate is open.
