    @Outlook For2 I have been locked out of my emails, despite filling out forms many times over. I filled in all the details you asked for many times. I do NOT have a number you can text me on because I am using a different sim on vacation. So just fix it. This is terrible service

    Well @Microsoft .. guess I better sort out all my **** that I use a hotmail account for and get it changed over to Gmail or other option. 3 days down is a little much when finances/trips/etc depend on info sharing via email. #microsoft #outlook #hotmail @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps

    What the heck is up with @Outlook?? Been locked out of my email for two days and all I get is “this verification method isn’t working right now” and then it says I’ve requested too many codes! Also can’t contact support cause I can’t sign in or access your chatbot :(

    @davidfowl Please tell the @Outlook team. They don't seem to have gotten that memo and are still building that terrible web-based "new Outlook" for Windows while also building a nice native client for Mac. So they can do it properly, just not for your own platform...
