  @Outlook You need to fix this ASAP. It really is frustrating. It’s turning into google’s search engine, just a bunch of ads and useless results that aren’t even close, to what I was searching for.

  My bank account (Isbank) is officially linked to this compromised email address. I am ready to submit legal/banking documentation. This is not just an account issue, this is an active financial cybercrime in progress! @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook

  @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.

  We’re in 2026 and @Outlook still can’t fix notifications and badges on iOS. It’s NEVER RIGHT. Always get these mystery notifications. Telling me 2 new emails and there’s only 1. Most frustrating thing. #outlooksucks

  @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.

  @Outlook @Outlook has become complete trash, letting unverified emails to email people, 100% are scammers or hackers, and @Microsoft like per usual is trash letting this happen. STILL AN ISSUE, STILL NOT FIXED, PATHETIC.

  @Outlook @Microsoft My outlook Email has been messed up by Microsoft. It developed persistent login problems, kept bombarding me with product adverts and freezing instead of logging me in. It forced me to change my password, now it wont accept either the old or new password.

  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'm trying to sign into my email. It keeps telling me to enter a second email address to "protect my account". I only have one email. I don't want a second email. I'm old fashioned, I just want to sign in using my password, and access my emails.

  I see that the @Outlook issue is supposedly resolved, but my email at work is still down since yesterday

• 
  Bonynea (@Bonynea) reported 59 minutes ago

  @Outlook It’s been days of failed recovery attempts, unanswered requests, and no real support. I completed the forms, followed every step, and still have no access to my recovery emails. At this point it feels like customers are being ignored instead of helped. Please escalate this issue.
