    @Microsoft @Windows @Outlook Why does Outlook's auto-fill username feature fail every time after a Windows update? It auto-populates the username, I enter the pswd, & then get an error because the username apparently isn't recognized. Happens after every restart. Frustrating.

    Calling the new @Office @Outlook garbage would be unfair to all garbage. Why the heck would you come out with such a slow web app looking monstrosity. Go back to legacy.

    Microsoft has to stop making so many changes to its menus in Outlook. It increases irritation and cognitive load too much if people constantly are having to track down where a command is, such as how to insert an emoji in an email. @Outlook #microsoft #microsoftoutlook

    @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.

    The new @Outlook is terrible, you can’t even respond to original emails sent to you if someone that was cc’d sends a response to that email and you press reply as well it will never go back to the original email it will only respond to the person that responded. Terrible update
