  @Outlook why suddenly can't I get into my long owned emails. I've gone down a rabbit hole being redirected by your website. It's saying I've downloaded it (after deleting it) and it's not showing on my phone!!

  @Outlook I haven’t been able to log in to my email for a few days now. I see that others have the same issue, when will it be resolved??

  Brian Fontana (@CodeFoxtrot) reported 22 minutes ago

  @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!

  @Outlook how come outlook is so awful having taken over Hotmail. It's slow, it's layout is terrible. I absolutely hate it!!

  Cheekyman81 (@1_hsm) reported 28 minutes ago

  @Outlook I’m struggling to get any traction from your support teams to regain access to my Hotmail account. Recovery forms are not working. Who do I escalate to? I have had this issue for 1 month now.

  @Outlook @Microsoft it’s been WEEKS and my Hotmail is STILL in another language! Can someone please contact me and actually follow through till the issue is resolved?

  NorthCarolinaTrader (@NCarolinaTrader) reported 36 minutes ago

  Is it just me, or has @Outlook become an absolute pile of garbage that has us loathing Microsoft Corporation. Bad software has become absolute garbage. I open this junk, my accounts are no longer set up, then you need a PhD in computer science to fix the problem.

  @Outlook - Just now received an email sent to me on January 22, 2026 at 5:37 p.m. It arrived 1/28/2026 at 10:08 a.m. You claimed to have "fixed" your issues on 1/22 - clearly that was a lie. You had ONE JOB....

  @Outlook @MicrosoftIndia I am struggling to get access to my official mail id since past more than 3 months due to technical issue where i am not getting authentication code. Raised issue through my vendor but they are also not getting any response.

  @stevesi First thing to do is get rid of the terrible @Outlook web wrapper and bring back Mail & Calendar.

  @Outlook My case involves MAILBOX CORRUPTION, not deletion. I need this escalated to the engineering team. Only they can restore internal server snapshots. The attack happened yesterday — there is still time.

  @Outlook Hey Outlook. Your mail app is broke. Having issues for days and I can’t find a resolution. Emails not getting delivered/sent and resetting accounts doesn’t work.

  @Outlook 365: (top banner) You need to sign in to keep using mail Me: signs in Outlook 365: You signed out of your account. It’s a good idea to close all your browser windows. Me: YEAH! Exactly what I wanted!!!

  Chris Pred (@ChrisPred) reported 56 minutes ago

  @keeganlanier @Outlook I haven’t noticed it myself as I use Outlook on my iPad Pro with a M365 account. Are you connecting to Exchange server or another email provider such as Google or iCloud? I am thinking it could be a sync issue with IMAP or something along those lines.

  @Outlook is there any ongoing issues with outlook especially for suddenly quarantine of emails?
