    @Outlook why have I suddenly stopped receiving my Outlook email? Is Microsoft down again?

  • jennrhcp Diary of Always (@jennrhcp) reported

    @Outlook your authenticator to reset my password is completely useless and never works. I am now unable to access my email I have had for about 25 years because I keep getting error messages. Your online chat tells me to be patient and try again in 24hrs, or 5 days.

    @Microsoft @Outlook My hotmail account is suddenly not sending PDFs saying that they have been rejected because they are spam even though I’ve had no problem before sending the same ones. This is happening no matter who I send it to. Is there a problem at your end? Thanks.

    @benhylak I tried something similar on my partner’s @Outlook account with @Copilot. It couldn’t answer basic questions about the calendar. Why isn’t this the most basic functionality? “Big ships move slow” or something else?
