Connor Clift (@connorclift35) reported@HowardRoark90 @Outlook @Microsoft Been down since 9:45a this morning! Fun!!
-
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.

Daniela (@danielacna) reported@Microsoft @satyanadella @Outlook Hi Satya. I’ve had my Microsoft account for over 12 years with my correct date of birth. After my account was compromised, someone changed my birth year and Microsoft began treating my account as if I were 12 years old. I’ve tried repeatedly to correct this and recover my correct age, without success. Now Microsoft is introducing age verification in Brazil while my account remains incorrectly classified as belonging to a child. How is a longtime adult customer supposed to fix this when the account recovery process itself has failed?
-
Alex 🌐 (@ajr_codes) reportedMicrosoft, why cant I log into my 20+ year old email? Why is it saying "You've tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect account or password." I have 2FA and a backup email + phone number. Why wouldnt you simply ask for the 2FA code??? @Microsoft @Outlook
-
Thee Wane (@CoachWane) reported@Microsoft @Outlook y'all better fix the spam and phishing processes. Way too many spams that are not being blocked. The security team needs to wake up and do their job!!!!!!

Dominique (@NiqueHollywood) reported@fashionizta @Microsoft @Outlook Mine has been down for 6 hours and I’m leading communications and publicity for a national tour. I hate them so bad! The most incompetent service I’ve ever had!
-
Stewart 🏴 🇨🇦 (@Stewmeak) reported@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.
-
Sophie (@casualtyfan2809) reportedHey! @Outlook I've had enough of this, you've got to stop the scam emails on your app. Today I had 10 scams and I reported them, and reported them again on my junk mail! If you can't help me with this then, I will complain about this on going issue to your management!
-
Jimmy Fallon (@JimmyFal) reported@Microsoft @Outlook I can post this screenshot into ANY AI and they will ALL come back and tell me this email is a scam, so shouldn't we expect the same from the @outlook mail filter? Please DO BETTER, why is this hard at least let us in on the technical issues as to why this is so hard!
-
Seren Söyler (@soylerseren) reported@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.
-
Vikram (@v1krams) reported@Microsoft @Windows @Outlook Why does Outlook's auto-fill username feature fail every time after a Windows update? It auto-populates the username, I enter the pswd, & then get an error because the username apparently isn't recognized. Happens after every restart. Frustrating.
-
Jessica LoPresti 🦋 (@LoPrestiJessica) reported@Outlook my outlook is STILL DOWN. Please share ETA ON WHEN BUG IS FIXED.
-
Luis Carlos Diaz (@catire98) reportedIt seems that @Outlook is working again, but that email I sent right when it went down is nowhere to be found.
-
Priscilla King (@5PriscillaKing) reported@Microsoft @Outlook just causes problems whenever I open it. I've been trying to read e-mail today and, so far, Chrome has crashed six times. This has not allowed much e-mail to be read. I'm probably going to change my public e-mail address this weekend.

Steven (@CrookNuggetGang) reported@Outlook Fix your ****
-
Ian McKenna (@ianmckennaftrc) reportedHey @Microsoft I’m a big fan of voice recognition tech but why can you #VoiceAccess app not be moved on screen? It now blocks multiple key apps including @Outlook & @MicrosoftEdge this makes those much harder to use. Didn’t do this before. Can I suggest an urgent fix is needed
-
BBeav-8 (@BBeav_8) reportedWeird @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.
-
moonchild das (@dulles2chennai) reportedPlease fix @Outlook
-
Finchwizard (@Finchwizard) reportedWe’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
-
FreWaaks (@FWaaks) reported@Outlook why in the blue **** do you make it so god damn hard to attach files to emails? It’s ****** text I shouldn’t have to compress that **** down and split it into multiple files, just tell me what is the point, using your clunky dog **** email system makes my job harder
-
Godfortherestofus✝️📚💯 (@God4TheRestOfUs) reported@MSFT365Status it’s affecting regular Outlook accounts that are not business but are personal paid. my @outlook is down it’s very severe every account I have relies on two factor authentication through your email which means I’m fu..ed Thanks to this.
-
Fatima “Fa” (@Fati_Fig) reported@HowardRoark90 @Outlook @Microsoft Same for my team… mine was down since 11:30 am others since 9:30 am
-
daz. (@F1Daz_) reported@Outlook @Microsoft I reported fraud to you 4 days ago. And have still have ZERO response. my details are STILL compromised due to your lack of urgency with such a sensitive issue. Everything else was sorted in hours by various other companies. Shocking.
-
Liam_profile (@Liam_profile) reported@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.
-
M Raj (@MrVeritas) reportedIs anyone else’s @Outlook email Not working? Seems the services are down again just like in April. Hope @MicrosoftHelps is Aware of the Outlook email outage (login error, too many attempts) and is working to fix it.
-
