Seren Söyler (@soylerseren) reported@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.
-
Dodgy Anon (@DodgyAnon) reported@Outlook 4 inscrutable puzzles to help you fight “the robots” only for it to encounter an unexpected error and have me do it again. Useless anti-user company. Absolute out of touch disgrace.
-
Erick (@erickacevedor) reportedI love (not really) how I need to login each time on outlook web. I mean, each freaking time man @Outlook -- you're a 3.19 TRILLION USD company, I think wont be difficult to fix something like this.

Murzban F. Shroff (@MurzbanFShroff) reported@puneetck @Outlook I am a writer facing a huge glitch with my #Outlook. When I try to reply to an existing conversation/thread, the entire conversation disappears. It’s no longer visible in the reply mail. Please help. I have work-related communications suspended. @satyanadella

Ms.Tab00 (@MsTab00) reported@Outlook Posting while your servers are down is asinine behavior 🥴

alli. (@lovemesomeALLI) reported@faisal9051911 @Outlook Did they recover your acct/email you or were you able to reset your pw w no issues?
-
FreWaaks (@FWaaks) reported@Outlook why in the blue **** do you make it so god damn hard to attach files to emails? It’s ****** text I shouldn’t have to compress that **** down and split it into multiple files, just tell me what is the point, using your clunky dog **** email system makes my job harder
-
Alex 🌐 (@ajr_codes) reportedMicrosoft, why cant I log into my 20+ year old email? Why is it saying "You've tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect account or password." I have 2FA and a backup email + phone number. Why wouldnt you simply ask for the 2FA code??? @Microsoft @Outlook
-
Lombardigal (@WNlombardi) reported@Outlook closing down an email account, that’s been used for many yrs, and accessed from the same device, with no VPN or blocks identified 😬 and the correct input of info.
-
heartsmear (@heartsmear95015) reported@microsoft & @Outlook my Discord was hacked during their data breach, my Outlook, Microsoft and Xbox account were all hacked through this as well. I've tried to recover my accounts but your recovery system is ******* atrocious. Never had these problems until Windows 11
-
SpongeBob (@Jack_the_westi) reported@TBanton18 @Microsoft @Outlook I had the same problem a while ago, absolutely impossible to speak to a human at Microsoft to get support, finally I switched to Gmail, caused a lot of disruption because my old Hotmail is used to verify loads of passwords, annoyingly I keep getting reminders to log into Hotmail
-
Grafrajohn ☕️🎸💻⚽️🐋🍃🌍📷📱🚊🚲🎮🍮🦈🦖🎵🪐 (@GrayElgin) reportedHas anyone else downgraded from the new @Outlook to the old one? The new Outlook keeps asking me to sign in for every mailbox.
-
Trump/Vance🇺🇸TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT Ticket‼️🇺🇸 (@gina_knight) reportedDid you know if you use Outlook email and want to insert an American Flag emoji, there isn’t one? There’s a gay pride and a rainbow flag though. Fix that @Outlook 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
-
normal guy (@cybernormalguy) reported@Microsoft providing the WORST costumer support possible. 3 days of wait and locked outside my laptop because I nened the to allow me to change my @Outlook phone number since their bitLock locked me outuside my laptop and now they have cooking me for DAYS to fix this.
-
José Rafael Gabaldón (@Gabalzac) reported@peteryanni @Outlook Agree. Terrible decision by @Outlook
-
None of These Candidates (@noneofthesecand) reportedTrying to think of a way @Outlook or @MicrosoftHelps could be EVEN MORE retarded but I can't think of a way. You and your DEI hires just add spam calendar invites without even asking me... Then I can't use the app bc you want me to login with Outlook which is RETARDED because...
-
TONY SANDERSON (@EMANONF1) reported@Outlook Email still down here in the UK. How can I work like this?
-
Tariq Ponir (@hyperactve) reportedMicrosoft @Outlook is beyond broken. I accidentally wrote a wrong email ID (external) which failed to deliver. Now, I am trying to send it to the correct id, but outlook keeps "correcting" me to the wrong one. No intuitive way to bypass this. This has to be a joke or something.
-
secret name (@dbfssecret) reported@Outlook I liked Outlook Express, BUT, I just can’t stand Outlook in it’s present configuration. It has to be slimmed down and more useful before I’ll use it. I like MS, but I don’t like Outlook at all…just way too complicated.
-
D🧚🏽 (@_preciousdee) reportedFix this please @Outlook
-
Jamie (@TaxPayerxxxxx) reported@Microsoft @Outlook How is it you have to PAY to protect your accounts location wise? Why has no government stepped in here. I have a Hotmail/Outlook account that’s constantly getting Auth prompts from other countries. Why can I not restrict it to my own! It would fix 90% !

Seren Söyler (@soylerseren) reported@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.
-
Charlie (@Charles2982708) reported@Outlook this update that sends everything to my Draft folders automatically is complete BS Please change this! It doesn’t save any time and causes way too many problems. The majority of people using outlook for work Multi task and end up having all these emails disappear. When it’s out of site it’s out of mind. That’s not a good thing.
-
Sparky (@Jouler8) reported@Outlook My iPhone has been harassing me daily to "log-in" despite me never having logged out. you keep trying to push me to your broken "Authenticator App", no good. My password, set up 15 years ago, now doesn't work. Screw it! Screw you! Deleting the app is easier.

Zaki Qayoumi (Zack) #VaccinesSaveLives (@SUPERFRENCHBIGZ) reportedStop trying to login my Microsoft account. You will go to prison for unauthorized access. I don't have money for cloud, so that's why I can't check @outlook. I told y'all I needed a salary.
