  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

  I’m removing all my accounts from my @Outlook, since I can’t access my email and I’m worried about losing important information. I can’t believe @Microsoft can’t simply fix an email bug. They are an email company omgggggg

  @TechWTaylor @Outlook Mine started working again this morning. I’m able to send and receive emails again. Maybe the fix is a slow roll out.

  Kyle Davey (@KyleDavey86) reported 50 minutes ago

  . @Outlook I am being told my account is locked out. I need to verify I’m a human with a press and hold button. I have tried this several times and it keeps saying try again. How do I fix this and is there an actual person to assist in getting me access to my emails again?

  Oktay (@OktayAykut1) reported 50 minutes ago

  @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.
