  @Outlook 4 inscrutable puzzles to help you fight “the robots” only for it to encounter an unexpected error and have me do it again. Useless anti-user company. Absolute out of touch disgrace.

  @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.

  @Outlook So while my email password issue continues with the account you all took over, I decided to log into my substack which uses an email I made specifically for social media use. Guess what? That password didn't work either. Strange?

  Hi, @Outlook you locked me out of my e-mail account. Your self-help guides don't work, I can't sign in to message with an advisor and there are no advisors on the phone, just a robot who doesnt nothing but direct me back to the useless self-help online. Give me my account back

  @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps @Microsoft - Will I ever be able to access my Hotmail email via the Mail app on my iPhone again? Been down for days now. Keeps saying I’ve tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect account which is total lies. My password is 100% correct

  We’re in 2026 and @Outlook still can’t fix notifications and badges on iOS. It’s NEVER RIGHT. Always get these mystery notifications. Telling me 2 new emails and there’s only 1. Most frustrating thing. #outlooksucks

  @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.

  Client emails a table for various component names (column1) and costs (column2). I click forward in @Outlook and lo-behold, the table converts to something unreadable, each cell has been put in its own row! Why? @Microsoft please resolve this issue ASAP or moving to @ZohoMail
