I need a clear and direct answer to the question I sent you via DM. Please provide a direct answer instead of referring me to general support articles or troubleshooting steps.

Greggy Ramone (@GreggyRamone) reported@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.
-
Kareem (@Kareem1702) reported@KyleDavey86 @Outlook @KyleDavey86 Were you able to fix this? I had the exact same issue with the robot and now I can’t even get that far anymore

-
Bonynea (@Bonynea) reported@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.
-
🚀K.R.I.S. (@KrisWorkLife) reportedOops! Just realized that @Outlook doesn’t give you an option to choose a time zone for scheduled messages. What a bummer. @Microsoft please fix or add this option. 🚀
-
Chayan Chakrabarti (@lazychakrabarti) reported@Outlook unable to login to my 15 years old Hotmail account even though I have the same phone number, your captcha verifications are so lame
-
Geekhead (@itsgeekhead) reported@Outlook should really fix your search, its so bad that people make a living off instagram reels about how terrible it is
-
secret name (@dbfssecret) reported@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.
-
Zaki Qayoumi (Zack) #VaccinesSaveLives (@SUPERFRENCHBIGZ) reportedStop 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.
-
Craig (@cjl85718) reported@simoes_romeo @Outlook Yup. Just fixed it. From last login attempt - need to wait about 1hr. Then these steps: Delete outlook from iPhone mail. Then hard reset phone. Then reinstall Outlook. This worked for me - might help you. Good luck
-
Souvik Mukherjee (@souvik610) reported@Outlook I'm having authentication error for my outlook email id
-
Jamie (@TaxPayerxxxxx) reported@Microsoft @Outlook How is it you have to PAY to protect your accounts location wise? Why has no government stepped in here. I have a Hotmail/Outlook account that’s constantly getting Auth prompts from other countries. Why can I not restrict it to my own! It would fix 90% !
-
GUAL CYBR (@gual_cybr) reported@ViEaglen06 @Outlook I can fix your account! Dm me
-
Si Carrington ™️ 🏳️🌈🇮🇪 (@simoncarrington) reported@MicrosoftHelps I need an email address for an elderly friend of mine who has issues with his email. He cant access it and he has important documents on from his Wife who passed away years ago. I cant direct mail you on here. Can you help please?? @Outlook @Microsoft
-
Sparky (@Jouler8) reported@Outlook My iPhone has been harassing me daily to "log-in" despite me never having logged out. you keep trying to push me to your broken "Authenticator App", no good. My password, set up 15 years ago, now doesn't work. Screw it! Screw you! Deleting the app is easier.
-
osman (@osman_cetin) reported@Outlook for days i am trying to reset my password to access some really urgent medical files and eventhough i have registered phone it seems that verification method is not working at all. This is very urgent medical need and would appreciate your assistance
-
Shoes (@J_Keith101) reported@MSFT365Status @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook I am still unable to get into my Hotmail account after 3+ days on ANY device or app and internet. Please take these issues seriously and fix this. This is NOT an intermittent problem, it is an OUTAGE.

Kelsey Goodwin (@kelseyg2010) reported@Outlook why am I STILL having problems on my iPhone? C'mon already. It has been a full week of this bullshit🤬
-
Greeny (@GreenDJ1) reported@Outlook having problems with my account. The hassle to log in is a joke. Looking for help
-
Erick (@erickacevedor) reportedI love (not really) how I need to login each time on outlook web. I mean, each freaking time man @Outlook -- you're a 3.19 TRILLION USD company, I think wont be difficult to fix something like this.
-
Andrew (@andrewrdn463) reported@thefrostlord @Outlook Correct passwords are not being accepted by Outlook: "You've tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect account or password."
-
TONY SANDERSON (@EMANONF1) reported@TylerJs981 @Outlook Still down, won’t send me a code to my mobile phone!
-
Oktay (@OktayAykut1) reported@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.

Liz 🇺🇸 (@ThisIsLizMK) reported@Outlook Read the room, you idiots!! Fix outlook already!! 🤬🤬🤬
