    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 Outlook won't accept the images, even though they are very small. I'm wasting a lot of time. It's an incredibly primitive issue.

    @Outlook How is your app so terrible and preventing junk/phishing emails going into peoples main inbox? Useless and the worst at it. You must be making something from it.

  • JJimisen
    JJ (@JJimisen) reported

    Microsoft has to stop making so many changes to its menus in Outlook. It increases irritation and cognitive load too much if people constantly are having to track down where a command is, such as how to insert an emoji in an email. @Outlook #microsoft #microsoftoutlook

  • BBeav_8
    BBeav-8 (@BBeav_8) reported

    Weird @Microsoft #outage today. I can’t access @Outlook at all, but some of my coworkers can, but some of their apps don’t work. I am truthfully in the “this really sucks” category. Have things to do.

    @Outlook is down and suddenly the entire corporate world has remembered how dependent we are on email. 💀 Emails delayed. Messages failing. Login issues. People refreshing Outlook like it’s going to magically fix itself. One cloud outage → millions of workflows pause. The internet runs on infrastructure most people never think about… until it stops working.

    Did you know if you use Outlook email and want to insert an American Flag emoji, there isn’t one? There’s a gay pride and a rainbow flag though. Fix that @Outlook 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    @Outlook like many people I've been logged out in my phone and can't log back in despite using the correct password. This problem has been an issue for a month now, what are you actually doing to fix it?

  • Jouler8
    Sparky (@Jouler8) reported

    @Outlook My iPhone has been harassing me daily to "log-in" despite me never having logged out. you keep trying to push me to your broken "Authenticator App", no good. My password, set up 15 years ago, now doesn't work. Screw it! Screw you! Deleting the app is easier.
