    @Outlook can you fix your spam filters. I keep marking emails as junk but seems your ML retraining and spam categorisation models are outdated. I'm half considering shifting my main account and using @gmail

    @Outlook My case involves MAILBOX CORRUPTION, not deletion. I need this escalated to the engineering team. Only they can restore internal server snapshots. The attack happened yesterday — there is still time.

    @Outlook I've already done that, but nobody answered. I need this urgently — time is running out. My emails are still in the server snapshots, and soon it will no longer be possible to restore them. Please escalate my case to the engineering team

    Hey @Outlook wtf is up with your tech support. I call because my email was hacked and the hacker was locking me out of other accounts and buying nearly $2k of Walmart gift cards. When I reached out for help your tech heard my problem then hung up. Now no one at tech won’t call because the one that flaked on me when I needed him most flagged my phone number (the one that’s been on file for years)

    @Outlook you’d think your server could block phishing emails. FFS, the floodgate is open.
