@Outlook Hi, can you please sort the login issues? Everytime I login into my outlook email account- I get varied errors like "Pls try with a different device or use VPN", "Can't Login Now" and so on. The issues are all over the net or you will loose the existing users to GMail.

@Outlook you guys need to fix the new desktop outlook. You want to force us to use something that needs a lot of work. This is basically the web outlook, which in itself is trash.

@Outlook Microsoft Outlook is such a great tool used by so many. Not sure why you guys are messing it up with the "new" Outlook. That experience is so slow... I've tried to go a couple of times now and keep on going back to the "older" Outlook.

@TeachREEthics @Outlook I've got the same problem. Did I say something wrong? It's like they cut you off for thinking or something? I bought a subscription to overcome the Onedrive extortion for more storage and they can't make it work.

@GOTORONIWOOD @Outlook This isn't just a glitch it's a betrayal of trust. While Microsoft gives canned responses, @AJTheTech actually digs into these cases. Many have recovered data through him after similar nightmares

it is 2025 and @Outlook for Mac (the new new version) still can't open additional mailboxes. and no, it's not an permission issue because legacy outlook works. And people still ask why Outlook is so bad?

@MSFT365Status @Outlook Login fails by instead returning to the home page. Looks like the weekend hack on MS is more widespread than they even realise.
