    @Outlook you are hands down the worst email software i have ever had the misfortune of using. Every time i use your browser app, i'm flabbergasted by another design flaw or poor design choice.

  • Flowers_oelleri Flowers (@Flowers_oelleri) reported

    @andriadacoolest @gmail @Outlook I also faced similar issues thought it was over I felt so bad until I was referred to (#Jovic_Coding) on Instagram they helped recover my account. You should reach out to them too, they'll help you out.

  • B_Rza11 B. Riley (@B_Rza11) reported

    Hey @Outlook , any idea of when this junk filter problem will be fixed? I’ve had my account for fifteen years and never experienced this much junk/spam in my focused inbox! Not sure how much longer I can keep up with it before having to get a new provider. @ElMightyMonarch

  • linneajericho Linnea **** (@linneajericho) reported

    @Outlook keeps locking me out of my accounts even though the password is correct. It says it’s emailing me a code to sign in but doesn’t. I tried to recover my account and it didn’t work even though I entered all my info correctly. WTF?!?!

  • sophiejfhall sophiejfhall (@sophiejfhall) reported

    @Outlook I'm being told that the issue has been fixed - it has not, and @Microsoft isn't responding to my emails.

  • hedge_master Andrew Bowman (@hedge_master) reported

    Ahhhhh, we're having huge problems trying to email customers/suppliers who use @Outlook. All other email providers are working. Does anyone know what's going on? We've tried everything 🤬

  • KriyaMarisa Kriya K (@KriyaMarisa) reported

    @Outlook I don't seem to be able to do this. I think perhaps its an admin setting for the organisation. Having read the thread, other people are having the same issue. It's a really annoying feature and would be great if Outlook can address this please :)

  • ann_john15 ann_john (@ann_john15) reported

    @Outlook How do I contact to fix my log in problem, I have the right password if just flagged in because I’m in a different country and really need to get into emails, Help me

  • notrightnowmate Brijesh D. (real) (@notrightnowmate) reported

    @Outlook is absolutely one of the worst email softwares I’ve used. - terrible UI - collapse thread icon is like expand icon - finding anything using the search is a nightmare - subject gets cut off - emails regarding teams meeting updates are horribly organised. Painful.

  • LindseyAnneB Lindsey (@LindseyAnneB) reported

    Well this is wonderful. My emails have locked me out as I’ve logged in from a new country. To get back in they need to verify me by emailing my other account with a code. The other account also needs verifying now as I’m also trying to sign in from a new country. Great @Outlook

    @Cointelegraph @Bitcoin Sorry to say but this company is a total disappointment lost to much on trade investment, don’t trade with them. Contact Jeffsalvador4 @outlook . com for help on recovery issues or complaints

  • Neillbert Neill Prentice (@Neillbert) reported

    Anyone else having trouble with @Outlook saying that the security is outdated and won't load?

  • Ind_Consumer indian consumer (@Ind_Consumer) reported

    In general, @firefox browser on desktop always says about @outlook " This page is slowing down firefox browser. In order to speed up, stop this page". Sounds absurd but annoyingly true

  • wired2thebrink Alan (@wired2thebrink) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook so you had a few days now. What caused the spam filter issues? Trying to hide something?

  • Laica23 Laica (@Laica23) reported

    Hey @Outlook 3 times I have now read the same email, what do your team actually do? Not fix things is too of the list

  • admflagurl38 admflagurl38 🌊🎧😻✨ (@admflagurl38) reported

    @Outlook please fix your emails SPAM is over running inboxes !! 10-30 an hour ! Thank you !

  • Hirork Hirork (@Hirork) reported

    @goveanav @Outlook Yes they stopped working a few days ago they claimed to have implemented a fix but my inbox suggests otherwise & I've seen others continue to complain to the point that I just haven't bothered as they clearly don't know how to fix it yet or are in denial that it's still a problem
