    @davidfowl Please tell the @Outlook team. They don't seem to have gotten that memo and are still building that terrible web-based "new Outlook" for Windows while also building a nice native client for Mac. So they can do it properly, just not for your own platform...

    @Outlook please fix the text messaging on 2 step verification. Can’t access my email otherwise

    @Outlook Read the room. Your outage has affected millions (including myself) today. I can't tell if I have inbox overload if I can't access my inbox...

    now I am locked out of my email account due to 'too many attempts' because of YOUR OUTAGE, an endless loop day 3 and I have to wait 24 to 48 hours to hopefully get my account recovered. Unreal @Microsoft @Outlook DO BETTER!

    Hey @Outlook we use you for work and all my colleagues and I run into this very annoying bug where you will reply to someone, it stops the typing cursor as if you clicked away and when you press space it will archive the e-mail chain. Can you please fix ASAP? thanks.

    @lovemesomeALLI @Outlook They unlocked my account and was able to login with my password

    K2 (@whatbluecheck) reported

    @Outlook Hotmail access has become impossible. With password "You've tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect account or password." and then with phone verification "That verification method isn't working right now." What the hell Microsoft??? Locked out of emails for a couple of weeks now.

    @Outlook why are you saying the issue is fixed when no one can still get into their email accounts?!?!

  • DodgyAnon
    Dodgy Anon (@DodgyAnon) reported

    @Outlook 4 inscrutable puzzles to help you fight “the robots” only for it to encounter an unexpected error and have me do it again. Useless anti-user company. Absolute out of touch disgrace.

    @Outlook Posting while your servers are down is asinine behavior 🥴

    The AI bot will tell you that @Outlook know there is an issue too, so this is not new, and still not fixed. Brilliant.

    @nikitheshrimper @Outlook 1/2 Had the same issue all day. Still have issues but my emails are slowly loading. I deleted mail, hard rested the IPhone. Reinstall mail with the OUTLOOK option. Did password reset. Logged in with new password, let mail fetch every 30 minutes, slowly I’m getting my emails.

    So I’m just completely locked out of my @Outlook account with no possible way to login.

    @Outlook have had my Hotmail for like 20 years and now I can’t get in. I hate the world we live in where I can’t just talk to someone and solve the problem. Literally everything is useless for support. Companies don’t care to help you anymore.

    @MSFT365Status Hi @Outlook and @MSFT365Status It has been >24hrs and lots of us did the steps you listed. I myself just tried to access my email accounts a minute ago through ios email app and also Outlook email app. This is still NOT working! It keeps asking for entering the captcha codes and not excepting the entered password! Can you please prioritize the resolution of this access issue?
