  We’re in 2026 and @Outlook still can’t fix notifications and badges on iOS. It’s NEVER RIGHT. Always get these mystery notifications. Telling me 2 new emails and there’s only 1. Most frustrating thing. #outlooksucks

  The new @Outlook is terrible, you can’t even respond to original emails sent to you if someone that was cc’d sends a response to that email and you press reply as well it will never go back to the original email it will only respond to the person that responded. Terrible update

  @Microsoft @Outlook just causes problems whenever I open it. I've been trying to read e-mail today and, so far, Chrome has crashed six times. This has not allowed much e-mail to be read. I'm probably going to change my public e-mail address this weekend.

  @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.

  @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 I can not believe the incompetence at this company, my email is still down, they just will not send me a code to reset my work/private account. I have just had to wait a full 7 days to try again, nothing and now they want me to wait 28 days!!!

  @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.

  Stop trying to login my Microsoft account. You will go to prison for unauthorized access. I don't have money for cloud, so that's why I can't check @outlook. I told y'all I needed a salary.

  Blocking my previous tweets @Outlook ? Why are there no alternative means of support for account access error? I signed in from a new device with a new phone number with my exact credentials ?
