  Has anyone else downgraded from the new @Outlook to the old one? The new Outlook keeps asking me to sign in for every mailbox.

  @culturedpearl47 @Outlook Can you share a screenshot of the error?

  @Outlook looking at your tweet history only solidifies the growing issues with the new outlook. Is there a computer brand that doesn't have the new version of outlook on it, anywhere. - just the classic version? So the general public can avoid the problems

  Weird @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.

  @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.

  @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps Your private reply did not answer my question or help resolve my issue. I need a clear and direct answer to the question I sent you via DM. Please provide a direct answer instead of referring me to general support articles or troubleshooting steps.

  @HindlesKitchen @Outlook When I used to use Apple, I didn't have as many issues, no where near as bad as the phishing I get on MS

  @Outlook I liked Outlook Express, BUT, I just can’t stand Outlook in it’s present configuration. It has to be slimmed down and more useful before I’ll use it. I like MS, but I don’t like Outlook at all…just way too complicated.

  @Outlook my email is still down. Please share ETA on when this will be fixed.

  @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.

  @Outlook has been down for 8 hours on a Monday. This is the journalism equivalent of getting ejected from a game.

  @Outlook Correct passwords are not being accepted by Outlook: "You've tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect account or password."

  @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps when are you going to add basic Classic @Microsoft Outlook desktop program functions to this terrible non-native new Outlook desktop program?

  @Microsoft @Outlook How is it you have to PAY to protect your accounts location wise? Why has no government stepped in here. I have a Hotmail/Outlook account that’s constantly getting Auth prompts from other countries. Why can I not restrict it to my own! It would fix 90% !

  @Outlook closing down an email account, that’s been used for many yrs, and accessed from the same device, with no VPN or blocks identified 😬 and the correct input of info.

  Microsoft has to stop making so many changes to its menus in Outlook. It increases irritation and cognitive load too much if people constantly are having to track down where a command is, such as how to insert an emoji in an email. @Outlook #microsoft #microsoftoutlook

  Can someone tell me how @Microsoft @Office @Outlook is a $3.8 TRILLION dollar company that doesn’t have adequate engineers to proactively fix email server issues & system outages???? Anybody????

  @Outlook Why remove Send Availability from the mobile app? It was one of the most useful features for scheduling on the go. Now the calendar button only creates events, and checking free times requires minimizing the draft or saving it just to switch tabs. Proposing 3–5 options has become a slow back-and-forth process.

  Charlie (@Charles2982708) reported 46 minutes ago

  @Outlook this update that sends everything to my Draft folders automatically is complete BS Please change this! It doesn’t save any time and causes way too many problems. The majority of people using outlook for work Multi task and end up having all these emails disappear. When it’s out of site it’s out of mind. That’s not a good thing.

  Hey! @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!
