  • blakeatedder Blake Tedder, MSW RYT (@blakeatedder) reported

    Just need to vent from my work life. Why does @outlook have to destroy my @mailchimp emails?! It is so frustrating to resign to send something unprofessional looking to a fraction of an audience, especially when they don't know it's outlook's rendering error. Pulling my hair out.

    @maureenp7 @Outlook I have the same issue they aren’t providing any support 👎🏻

  • 1Keecho Dr. Black Che (@1Keecho) reported

    @Microsoft @Outlook authentication process is clunky, non user friendly, terrible annoying portal system going back and forth between screens and never remembering your login, and having to re authenticate every day Like we got nuclear codes in our email inboxes. Jesus

  • BizLowdown Business Lowdown (@BizLowdown) reported

    Word of warning for anyone trying to use @MicrosoftUK @WindowsUK @Outlook for their business. Absolutely appalling technical support service. They show no interest at all. Zero engagement/understanding of the problem. I would never recommend them. Avoid at all costs!
