    @TBanton18 @Microsoft @Outlook I had the same problem a while ago, absolutely impossible to speak to a human at Microsoft to get support, finally I switched to Gmail, caused a lot of disruption because my old Hotmail is used to verify loads of passwords, annoyingly I keep getting reminders to log into Hotmail

    Stop trying to login my Microsoft account. You will go to prison for unauthorized access. I don't have money for cloud, so that's why I can't check @outlook. I told y'all I needed a salary.

    @Outlook I can not believe the incompetence at this company, my email is still down, they just will not send me a code to reset my work/private account. I have just had to wait a full 7 days to try again, nothing and now they want me to wait 28 days!!!

    I am getting increasingly frustrated with the lack of response from @Outlook @Microsoft in relation to these issues being experienced. When will I get access back to my account???

    @Outlook I have been trying to get to a live agent for AGES regarding an issue with my account (which has been hacked) and I haven’t received a single helpful response! I am unable to jump on a chat with life agent anymore! How am I supposed to recover my account with no help!!

    I love (not really) how I need to login each time on outlook web. I mean, each freaking time man @Outlook -- you're a 3.19 TRILLION USD company, I think wont be difficult to fix something like this.

    @Outlook is there problems today? I’m not able to sign into my hotmail account or get a verification code! Been trying all day

  • Charles2982708
    Charlie (@Charles2982708) reported

    @Outlook this update that sends everything to my Draft folders automatically is complete BS Please change this! It doesn’t save any time and causes way too many problems. The majority of people using outlook for work Multi task and end up having all these emails disappear. When it’s out of site it’s out of mind. That’s not a good thing.

    Emmanuel Valle (@valle_emma61666) reported

    @simoncarrington @Outlook Yep. Skip the form loop and call support or use account recovery from a device he’s used before, same wifi helps a lot. I heard about Fomr and lol even free form tools feel less broken than Outlook’s mess
