    @MicrosoftHelps sorry to say your @outlook program seems to be compromised. many users are locked out with the message "Too many requests" when, in fact, there have been just one-two logins in a day. not clear what is meant by "requests" issue is not of an individual account but many users

    @bravetofu_ @Outlook @Microsoft Absolutely ridiculous that finding confirmation it's actually down and not just a 'me' issue. Apart for not getting into important apps etc the constant notifications from Microsoft to enter my credentials every few minutes is doing my head in!

    @Outlook , why do you suck so bad at IMAP & POP settings. It shouldn't be this hard to automate Outlook with LLM. Plz fix or I will sell all my @Microsoft shares.
