    @Outlook your verification bot is broken. Just went through 8 loops of puzzles to prove I'm human. Could I just send you a lobe of my liver? It'd be less trouble. #BadByDesign #EndlessLoops

  • amazingnights7 Liesh (@amazingnights7) reported

    @Outlook Looks like Outlook has just updated and now doesnt work on Windows PC or Android. synchronize errors

  • Optiontraderbb Joseph Goins (@Optiontraderbb) reported

    My email just stopped working when I got a new phone. @MicrosoftHelps doesn’t have a contact number so I can’t call. My business is at a standstill and no help from @Outlook or @MicrosoftHelps. Please shoot me a dm to help resolve this issue. I can’t send or receive emails.

  • Marx8385 Marx8385 🐬 (@Marx8385) reported

    @Outlook Huge increase of spam in the last few days. My setting has been on High filter. Just had to switch to Safe-Contacts Only and spam is still getting through. Something may be broken.

  • LoudUninformed Patrick Cavallario (@LoudUninformed) reported

    @Outlook The ribbon alignment is also terrible. Why is the button to create a new email so far to the left? It is completely out of the main context of the emails and now above folders. This makes no sense. Bring back the old nav! Please.

  • RealVersatile Versatile Onochie-Obayuwana (@RealVersatile) reported

    @juslynfrancoiss @Outlook Sent them a DM they haven't responded but apparently the problem exists because outlook inbox only is 15gb. I managed to check mines and i used 14.99gb. So deleted old emails

  • sergiodieffe Sergio de Ferra (@sergiodieffe) reported

    @pica_ste @Outlook That's exactly my problem. I've been spoiled by many years of using @gmail and cannot adapt to outlook's "logic"

  • JoelCitizen Burning Wallet (@JoelCitizen) reported

    @Outlook what good is a search result if I can't mass delete from it... Outlook mobile. Fix it.

  • cjcresawn Charles (@cjcresawn) reported

    @Outlook @ChimbaaT Yes this was a TERRIBLE decision! And you are FORCING people to use it. You didn't even allow us to change it back if we wanted. You are NOT APPLE! Stop trying to force your users into using your terrible designs!

  • pseudokings the pseudokings (@pseudokings) reported

    .@Outlook fire whichever clown thought it was a good idea to screw up the "All Accounts" inbox by making it override our preferences about how many/how old of emails will show up in it. And fire everyone who could have stopped it but didn't. Then fix it. Stop doing dumb things.

  • factuallyhari Hari G (@factuallyhari) reported

    Thanks @Microsoft @Outlook for a UI bug fix on the iPhone to restore the OG positions of Search and Calendar icons from a week ago. Talk about involuntary searching when you meant to be calendaring…story of my life!

  • jtsj16 James Strother, CAE (@jtsj16) reported

    @Outlook please fix mail so it will stop organizing my emails by thread! There is a toggle for that and I have it off!

  • reednic Nick Reed (@reednic) reported

    @RyanStone71 @Outlook Nothing yet. Same issue persists.

  • jfjnl jf (@jfjnl) reported

    @Outlook - I really need you and @MicrosoftUK to fix the SPAM/JUNK filter. It’s getting annoying now. #Reparations

  • VBPBR Valdir B. de Paula (@VBPBR) reported

    @Outlook I have Outlook installed on IPhone X running iOS 16. After the last update of Outlook app my emails here organised by threads. I tried to switch off that option but the app shut down. After that I couldn't restart it anymore. The app crashes every time I try to open it.

  • vanHooijdonk Stef van Hooijdonk (@vanHooijdonk) reported

    @robinmeure @Outlook @gmail At least in gmail, the oof does not keep the alerts for new mail down.

  • IlitchOlivia Olivia Ilitch (@IlitchOlivia) reported

    @Outlook I have been blocked out of my Outlook email how long will I be blocked out for until I can try to sign in again

  • LtMenalippe daní ᱬ (@LtMenalippe) reported

    For the love of god, please fix your spam/ junk filter @Outlook @Microsoft

  • dejacrypto oxytocin (@dejacrypto) reported

    @Outlook Thanks. Just to be clear about what I have to do: 'Recovery' is usually directed at 'locked' accounts. I have not seen any 'locked out' messages. I am just being presented with unanswerable questions following login/password entry. Is the linked form still what I should use?

  • MarkAntonyOwen Mark Antony Owen 🌻🇺🇦 (@MarkAntonyOwen) reported

    Hey there @Outlook! Did you know there's a really irritating glitch in your app for Android? Basically, when you're in the All Inboxes view, tapping on any email in the list briefly displays its contents, before switching to an 'Error loading message' screen.

  • JoeWalter Joseph Walter (@JoeWalter) reported

    Can we get @gmail, @Outlook, and other email services to just auto put anything with a jumble of letters and includes stuff like a + sign in the email auto spam. Thank you, Concerned Citizen

  • HannahCBignell Hannah Bignell (@HannahCBignell) reported

    @Outlook please please could I have some help? My email account has logged me out, I have gone through the verification process and was sent a link to change my password and now new password not working! Please help!

  • Pretty_Veggie Pretty Veggie Ⓥ🌱🇺🇦🌿מינדי (@Pretty_Veggie) reported

    @Outlook I am having trouble recovering my outlook account. It is MY account but I dont recall all of the set-up info. Its been a while. It also asked for my Skype name and I gave it, but it is telling me it is not legitimate name. Help! This is MY account.

  • Marx8385 Marx8385 🐬 (@Marx8385) reported

    @Outlook @MartineAoun This is not working. I typically am on High and switched to Safe-Contacts Only and they are still coming through non-stop.
