    Microsoft, 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

    @Outlook @Microsoft My outlook Email has been messed up by Microsoft. It developed persistent login problems, kept bombarding me with product adverts and freezing instead of logging me in. It forced me to change my password, now it wont accept either the old or new password.

    Hey! @Outlook I've had enough of this, you've got to stop the scam emails on your app. Today I had 10 scams and I reported them, and reported them again on my junk mail! If you can't help me with this then, I will complain about this on going issue to your management!

    @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.

    @Outlook Facing issues with my Outlook account — it keeps getting logged out on my laptop and mobile, and I’m unable to sign in again. Password reset is not working properly. Need help to recover access urgently

    @lostliano @Outlook @Microsoft I see a lot of people hating on you which isn’t fair - I can see the effort, but I think the main issue is the typography - it just feels “off” (and then I’m not a fan of the tab switcher) - but other than that it is really really really good. Good work!

    @Outlook I'm trying to sign into my email. It keeps telling me to enter a second email address to "protect my account". I only have one email. I don't want a second email. I'm old fashioned, I just want to sign in using my password, and access my emails.

    @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% !

    @Microsoft @Outlook just causes problems whenever I open it. I've been trying to read e-mail today and, so far, Chrome has crashed six times. This has not allowed much e-mail to be read. I'm probably going to change my public e-mail address this weekend.
