Timothy Nichols (@nichols_ti28279) reported@rossiantony46 @Outlook Volan_xyber can fix this.

eeeeeeee (@mattyhattycat) reported@Outlook @Kareem1702 It happens to me every week and you never respond on tweets or in messages. Why don't you just fix the issues, people have been complaining for months now.

Internet Politician (@NetRant1) reportedI can't believe this... @Outlook totally forgot to add an option to sign into a different email How are we supposed to change the sign in email @MicrosoftHelps
-
Oktay (@OktayAykut1) reported@MicrosoftHelps @Microsoft @Outlook Update: I finally managed to recover my account. I had to install the Outlook app on iOS and go through the “forgot password” process there. Somehow the verification (robot test) worked there, and I was finally able to reset my password. This just shows how broken the system is — the same process didn’t work anywhere else. Also, Microsoft’s support is even worse than the system itself. No real help, no human support, just useless automated responses. This experience was extremely frustrating.

-
Nick B. (@ThisOldNick) reported@awstar11 @Microsoft @Outlook Because deep down they know no one should use any of their products and they're subconsciously trying to drive users away? Best I got. If you figure it out let me know, been wondering this for decades.
-

Permian Landman (@PermianLandman) reportedCalling the new @Office @Outlook garbage would be unfair to all garbage. Why the heck would you come out with such a slow web app looking monstrosity. Go back to legacy.
-

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.
-
Diagnosis (@Diagnosis410227) reported@Outlook I really have issues with my account, please help @Outlook
-
PY (@peteryanni) reported@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.
-
Han. (@HanaJohnson92) reportedDay 3 without being able to access my emails. I am now able to get a code through my phone number, but then is asking me for a second authentication, I then type in the code my Authy app gives me and it’s not working! @Outlook @MSFT365Status @MicrosoftHelps
-
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.

I click forward in @Outlook and lo-behold, the table converts to something unreadable, each cell has been put in its own row! Why? @Microsoft please resolve this issue ASAP or moving to @ZohoMail
-
Taz 泰秀樂 (@tazorack) reported@Outlook the new Outlook desktop app needs to go back to the drawing board. It is terrible and does not work as it should. Ya need to build a Native App and not all these web apps with terrible function. This and @MicrosoftTeams new desktop app are bad.
-
Shoes (@J_Keith101) reported@MSFT365Status @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook I am still unable to get into my Hotmail account after 3+ days on ANY device or app and internet. Please take these issues seriously and fix this. This is NOT an intermittent problem, it is an OUTAGE.
-
