    @Outlook Can I check that this is actually being taken seriously @Outlook as no one has responded to my DM which you requested 2 days ago. Just to clarify I cannot access my emails as your automated recovery process is not working for me and your supporting teams are refusing to help.

    @Outlook I need my Outlook mailbox restored to a date before April 6. This was NOT deletion — the attacker overwrote the body of multiple emails. I urgently need this escalated to the engineering team before the server snapshots expire.

    @Outlook @Microsoft Let me back into my email I have had over 20+yrs with no problems you suddenly want to verify, for no reason that govt control. I never got locked out, compromised or illegal activity. It has been fine until now. You are helping to cause the problems this way.

    Is it just me, or has @Outlook become an absolute pile of garbage that has us loathing Microsoft Corporation. Bad software has become absolute garbage. I open this junk, my accounts are no longer set up, then you need a PhD in computer science to fix the problem.

    @Outlook Dear Microsoft. Your Outlook email program is performing beyond all expectations. I'm down to 50 spam emails a day. Thanks for the bang-up you do on eliminating spam.

    @Outlook If there is a prize for damaging a perfectly working app with a new version much worse than before, you stand in the first place as a contender. Many useful features are gone. New version is slow & unfriendly. I can't go back as it can't connect to my Google A/C !
