HSM_81 (@1_hsm) reported@Outlook Can I check that this is actually being taken seriously @Outlook as no one has responded to my DM which you requested 2 days ago. Just to clarify I cannot access my emails as your automated recovery process is not working for me and your supporting teams are refusing to help.
-
Roni (@srijansen39) reported@Outlook @MicrosoftHelps Hi Microsoft/Outlook team, I recently created a Microsoft account and got an @outlook.com email by default. But every email I send to Gmail addresses lands in the recipient's Spam folder, so they never see it. This is causing major inconvenience— Fix this
