I call because my email was hacked and the hacker was locking me out of other accounts and buying nearly $2k of Walmart gift cards. When I reached out for help your tech heard my problem then hung up.

Sriprakash Rao Talpady ಶ್ರೀಪ್ರಕಾಶ ರಾವ್ ತಲಪಾಡಿ (@TalpadySR) reported@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 !
