    @TBanton18 @Microsoft @Outlook Had this problem recently- logged me out and despite my password being correct wouldn’t let me back in. Have to use other authentication methods to get back in. Worked eventually but painful.

    @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.

    @Outlook It’s been days of failed recovery attempts, unanswered requests, and no real support. I completed the forms, followed every step, and still have no access to my recovery emails. At this point it feels like customers are being ignored instead of helped. Please escalate this issue.

    @TBanton18 @Microsoft @Outlook I had the same problem a while ago, absolutely impossible to speak to a human at Microsoft to get support, finally I switched to Gmail, caused a lot of disruption because my old Hotmail is used to verify loads of passwords, annoyingly I keep getting reminders to log into Hotmail
