    @Outlook have your developers been smoking crack or something? I try login to email #1 and it tells me I need to send a verification code to email #2 So I try login to email #2.. and it tells me i need to send a verification code to email one. Brilliant design choice guys!

  • caseyc792 Casey Cunningham (@caseyc792) reported

    @Outlook your online support system sucks. Can I please speak to someone over the phone to help me with an email issue?

  • OneBolverkOrTwo OneBolverkOrTwo (@OneBolverkOrTwo) reported

    @Outlook I need some help with an email issue, and both the support pages haven't helped. I cannot find a live chat and it is aggravating me.

  • darktears Alexis Menard (@darktears) reported

    You can tell how @Outlook for Android hates notifications. Not only they're broken but they are useless. Calendar notification comes in with a @MicrosoftTeams as the location, the quick action is "email", what about join the meeting? Isn't that the 99% most common action?

  • AltinSelimi Rand Lahey (@AltinSelimi) reported

    @Outlook Nothing in that article is of help to me. The verification codes had no problem coming say a month ago. But now they don’t.

  • FoundOne17 Found One (@FoundOne17) reported

    @Outlook Why the hell does my rules not work in outlook. So dam frustrating I have used the rule 7 times and yet i still get the same spam email. Outlook is a problem after problem

    @gmail No thank you I'll pass. I will just search for a mail server that actually cares for their clients and provides effective support and will cancel my Google storage subscription with you. Maybe @Outlook cares more about their clients and provides more effective IT support.

  • mbarber86 Mike Barber Greater Great Lakes DOCG (@mbarber86) reported

    'my mailbox is almost full?' ok and you decided to make the problem worse by emailing me about it @Outlook smh

    @NicoleBarbaro @Outlook If you are on MacOS there’s a bug that causes the search issues. There is a fix albeit tedious

  • KTVindicare Andrew Resendez (@KTVindicare) reported

    @Outlook This seriously the last straw. You're losing people to google all the time and you don't even have the decency to have a customer support number when your own program has issues? That's pathetic. Straight pathetic. I don't have the patience to deal with you anymore.

  • sethlkap Seth Kaplan (@sethlkap) reported

    Wow the email search function in the @Outlook phone app is terrible. Disappointing.

  • M_Z_Harrison Melissa Harrison (@M_Z_Harrison) reported

    @Outlook But I’ve been going to this same country, this same city, twice a year for about the last twenty years! It’s never been a problem until this year, when you decided it was “unusual activity.” Why now?

  • FoundOne17 Found One (@FoundOne17) reported

    @Outlook Why the hell does my rules not park in outlook. So dam frustrating I have used the rule 7 times and yet i still get the same span email. Outlook. Problem after problem

  • StephSaysIt EssBee (@StephSaysIt) reported

    @Outlook I’ve been locked out of my email for two days, trying unsuccessfully to reset my password. I have 2FA and the Authenticator app and I’m still getting “There’s a temporary problem” or “try again later because I’ve tried too many times” messages. Please help!

  • glenn_a_allen Glenn Allen 🍊🚲 (@glenn_a_allen) reported

    dear @Outlook, your settings for 1. ‘not junk’/‘safe senders and domain’ 2. email forwarding don’t actually work. instead of forwarding the mail, it keeps putting the test message in junk! pls fix! rohit

  • TheLexiphane David Hogarty (@TheLexiphane) reported

    @Outlook To Do has disappeared from the My Day tab in Outlook for Web. And the To Do icons have reverted to Tasks icons in my Calendar and Mail pages. Are you pivoting away from To Do transition, or is this a config issue with my employer's Outlook?

  • TheJoeFin Joe Finney (@TheJoeFin) reported

    Hey @Outlook I know your spam filter is terrible, but maybe don't add flagged emails in my junk folder to my @MicrosoftToDo lists, seems like a no brainer to me. CC: @microsoftgraph
