    @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

  • Tack_Neely_Inc Tack (@Tack_Neely_Inc) reported

    @Outlook you guys have the most atrocious customer support I’ve ever witnessed. At this point I’d rather use @Yahoo for email instead. You are injecting some crazy **** over there to have invented a system this incredibly terrible! All I need is to send one email like holy ****!!

  • Nikolay_Cherk Nikolay Cherkasov (@Nikolay_Cherk) reported

    @pbro48 @Outlook This problem was present for at least 15 years. I assume it cannot be touched anymore being put into a listed historical heritage category...

  • subham_tweets Subham Ram (@subham_tweets) reported

    Microsoft @Outlook has a bug where Notification for new mails in folders and subfolders other than inbox is not triggered. This is a very common issue in Outlook mobile app (android) and hasn't been fixed since forever.

  • 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.

  • cad4374 Christine Dinella (@cad4374) reported

    @Outlook I completely lost my email account. I kept receiving “Can’t connecting to server “

  • demiwebb__ Demi (@demiwebb__) reported

    @Outlook hi I’ve tried to contact via email and phone, I can’t receive or send any emails this has been for around a week. It says that my email cannot connect to the server!

  • nickishenee nee (@nickishenee) reported

    @Outlook Yea fix that please

  • 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!

  • wennerking63 🇺🇸Winner🔱King63🇺🇸 (@wennerking63) reported

    @KaylWhitesides @Outlook Same here, online it says its a scam. I started receiving them back in December. But every deadline has came and gone without any problems. I kept sending them to junk mail and hitting plushing. I almost clicked the link but when it says enter your info correctly I figured, NO

  • engmann René Engmann (@engmann) reported

    @Outlook What have you done? Since 2 days no more emails can be fetched via POP3. For years it worked fine from via Gmail from my Outlook address. When will the problem be fixed?

  • JasonOw33522650 Jason Owens (@JasonOw33522650) reported
