    @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.

    Tried the new Outlook app on Windows 11 for a few weeks and reverted back to classic cause of weird email formatting issues. In replies, my emails were returned all stretched out and looked out of whack. @Microsoft @Outlook @Windows

    Hey @Microsoft… please fix @Outlook’s bullet point. They’re terrible.

    @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!

    That sinking feeling you get when the ~15 emails you had open in Outlook disappear after a system issue😭 @Outlook team, PLEASE make it more robust!

    .@Yahoo @YahooCare Yahoo has taken over my @Outlook email for my Yahoo and domain email address and my computer guy can't fix it, except to direct me to web mail. He doesn't believe upgrading to Windows 11 will fix this. Please suggest a fix. Thank you.

    @Outlook Hi, I have sent a DM as requested but I still have not heard back from you. Can you please tell me when I can expect to hear a response back? Recovery forms still not working for me.

    @Outlook A Chinese bot (gov) has hacked my account, I’ve still got some access and can see they are scamming people. Reported to you guys and response is fill a form in and no response. Server side rules that I can’t fix despite PW change and forced logoff. Not good

    @Outlook I think everyone who has a complaint about Microsoft (because I can not be the only one), and their lack of customer service and related productivity issues should get together and let’s Sue them. I have paid multiple times for this ****

    @Azure : Remove this insanity of #AuthenticatorApp! I created a new biz account for some emailing, put the debit card, then the login forces to setup that stupid app, but I don't own a smartphone (and won't borrow anyone's). I tried to call support but got disconnected, calling again leads nowhere. At this point I could not even cancel the membership because I cannot login... Madness! Just let the customer decides what they want as 2FA!!! They know better, you control-freaks. So what am I supposed to do at this point? Cannot login, cannot setup auth app, cannot even cancel because cannot login, cannot open a case online because cannot login, and no "Use another way" option to skip this silly Auth-App setup, and no Desktop App either since I run exclusively on Linux.... Why so complicated??? Keep It Simple Stupid. @Microsoft @Outlook

    @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
