    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

    @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...

    @Outlook what is wrong with Outlook mail on iPhone? Says too many login attempts, when there were zero login attempts. Then after entering password, doesn’t recognize password. Verify human. And repeat. But never actually connects. Problem is def on your end. Again.

    @Outlook please get the issue with the mail app sorted out. It’s been down since 10am here in the UK and so I deleted my email account but now cannot reinstall it. This is a major issue since I cannot now access old emails which are needed to resolve legal issues.
