    @Outlook Dear Microsoft. Your Outlook email program is performing beyond all expectations. I'm down to 50 spam emails a day. Thanks for the bang-up you do on eliminating spam.

    I see @Microsoft @Outlook must have had another issue/breakdown in spam filters as their service becomes completely unusable for me AGAIN! Multiple copies of emails getting through. As you scan every email how can you not detect spam contents that match deluges of reports to you?

    @Outlook your email server is sending wrong error message. WTF? "blocked using Spamhaus. To request removal from this list see" plainly wrong.

    @retrobike_c16 @Outlook Cut down your image size in paint or preview in Mac. Then make the signature in word. Only way I could get our team to have consistent signatures

    @Outlook A quick scroll of your account shows others with the same problem. What is happening over there? The email in question is my main email that I've had for nearly 30 years.

    @Outlook I am having trouble logging into my account. I changed my password on my desktop yesterday and trying to update on my phone and it won’t work. I then try and log into my desktop and it won’t let me as I have ‘tried to many times’.. this is ridiculous

    @Outlook I'm absolutely sick and tired of you. My email access has gone from eady and with no problems to waiting for access, also getting locked in having to restart my phone. It's an absolute pain I hate the ads which were bad enough on unfocused, but now on focused too

    Tried the new Outlook app on Windows 11 for a few weeks and reverted back to classic cause of weird email formatting issues. In replies, my emails were returned all stretched out and looked out of whack. @Microsoft @Outlook @Windows

    @Outlook do you have a UK based telephone support team , we are having issues but keep having to wait for your LA based team to start work before we can get help

    @gdlinux @Outlook I'm always for open source, but running your own email server was traditionally a hurdle. Any suggestions?

    @Outlook A Chinese bot (gov) has hacked my account, I’ve still got some access and can see they are scamming people. Reported to you guys and response is fill a form in and no response. Server side rules that I can’t fix despite PW change and forced logoff. Not good

    @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook Not being able to drag and drop emails and attachments into SharePoint is a huge limitation for collaborators. Why can’t a trillion dollar company fix this?

    @Microsoft @Outlook What's the point in sending 'Feedback' using the "Feedback Hub" if there are no answers and things don't get addressed? Myself and others have reported exploit issues in Outlook and other apps... and nothing... silence...

    @Outlook I need my Outlook mailbox restored to a date before April 6. This was NOT deletion — the attacker overwrote the body of multiple emails. I urgently need this escalated to the engineering team before the server snapshots expire.
