    Well @Microsoft .. guess I better sort out all my **** that I use a hotmail account for and get it changed over to Gmail or other option. 3 days down is a little much when finances/trips/etc depend on info sharing via email. #microsoft #outlook #hotmail @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps

    @Outlook 4 inscrutable puzzles to help you fight “the robots” only for it to encounter an unexpected error and have me do it again. Useless anti-user company. Absolute out of touch disgrace.

    The AI bot will tell you that @Outlook know there is an issue too, so this is not new, and still not fixed. Brilliant.

    @simoes_romeo @Outlook Yup. Just fixed it. From last login attempt - need to wait about 1hr. Then these steps: Delete outlook from iPhone mail. Then hard reset phone. Then reinstall Outlook. This worked for me - might help you. Good luck

    @TechWTaylor @Outlook Mine started working again this morning. I’m able to send and receive emails again. Maybe the fix is a slow roll out.

    @Outlook I’m still locked out my Hotmail in the infinite sign in loop. When is this expected to be fixed for all users? Can’t sign in on iPhone or web browser and I really need this account as it’s my main. Concert tickets, reservations and travel plans all not accessible.
