    @Outlook I can not believe the incompetence at this company, my email is still down, they just will not send me a code to reset my work/private account. I have just had to wait a full 7 days to try again, nothing and now they want me to wait 28 days!!!

    @MauricioHunt2 @Outlook I'm having the same problem. Four emails I sent to Hotmail in the last few hours were bounced back.

    @Microsoft @Outlook I can post this screenshot into ANY AI and they will ALL come back and tell me this email is a scam, so shouldn't we expect the same from the @outlook mail filter? Please DO BETTER, why is this hard at least let us in on the technical issues as to why this is so hard!

    @Microsoft @Windows @Outlook Why does Outlook's auto-fill username feature fail every time after a Windows update? It auto-populates the username, I enter the pswd, & then get an error because the username apparently isn't recognized. Happens after every restart. Frustrating.

    @Outlook Why remove Send Availability from the mobile app? It was one of the most useful features for scheduling on the go. Now the calendar button only creates events, and checking free times requires minimizing the draft or saving it just to switch tabs. Proposing 3–5 options has become a slow back-and-forth process.

    @Outlook Outlook won't accept the images, even though they are very small. I'm wasting a lot of time. It's an incredibly primitive issue.

    I’m removing all my accounts from my @Outlook, since I can’t access my email and I’m worried about losing important information. I can’t believe @Microsoft can’t simply fix an email bug. They are an email company omgggggg

    Blocking my previous tweets @Outlook ? Why are there no alternative means of support for account access error? I signed in from a new device with a new phone number with my exact credentials ?

    @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps I’m unable to access my email account due to issues with two-step verification. The SMS authentication service is not working & I no longer have access to Authenticator app after resetting my device.This has locked me out of my A/c despite genuine user.

    @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.

    Markus Trezdziack (@m_trezdziack) reported

    @Outlook looking at your tweet history only solidifies the growing issues with the new outlook. Is there a computer brand that doesn't have the new version of outlook on it, anywhere. - just the classic version? So the general public can avoid the problems

  • JSokaza

    @Outlook So while my email password issue continues with the account you all took over, I decided to log into my substack which uses an email I made specifically for social media use. Guess what? That password didn't work either. Strange?

    Anyone else having @Outlook issues where emails are disappearing, populating, and disappearing. 😔
