April 🐭 (@1967Christian) reported@Outlook I'm trying to sign into my email. It keeps telling me to enter a second email address to "protect my account". I only have one email. I don't want a second email. I'm old fashioned, I just want to sign in using my password, and access my emails.

None of These Candidates (@noneofthesecand) reportedTrying to think of a way @Outlook or @MicrosoftHelps could be EVEN MORE retarded but I can't think of a way.

✨Luminous✨ (@wxkeup_1) reported@Outlook why is password sign in constantly unavailable to my hotmail (outlook) account 90 percent of the time, requiring me to use sign in using a code? As someone who has had this email account with you for 25 years - it has become infuriating to use.

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.
-
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.
-
Markus Trezdziack (@m_trezdziack) reported@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
-
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!!!!!!

Santanu Banerjee (@KolkataRsogolla) reportedClient emails a table for various component names (column1) and costs (column2). 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
-
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.
