  @Outlook @Microsoft Luckily I have a passkey and was able to sign out of all my accounts elsewhere. In fact I removed the password as a sign in option for my account now. Strongly recommend everyone do this!

  @Outlook I need to speak with an outlook technician ASAP. Using your website to fix my issue is exhausting and terrible. I need a human, not AI.

  @Outlook Dear Microsoft. Your Outlook email program is performing beyond all expectations. I'm down to 50 spam emails a day. Thanks for the bang-up you do on eliminating spam.

  @Outlook A Chinese bot (gov) has hacked my account, I’ve still got some access and can see they are scamming people. Reported to you guys and response is fill a form in and no response. Server side rules that I can’t fix despite PW change and forced logoff. Not good

  How embarrassing for @satyanadella showing how @Windows legacy bloat and tech debt is putting mission critical, national-visibility use of #Windows is broken. The @Outlook team should be scrambling.

  @Outlook @Microsoft Why does Microsoft make it increasingly difficult to sign in to check Outlook?? If you’re trying to make it “better”, you’re failing hard. I wish you could take your email address with you to a different provider like your phone number.

  Gmail search doesn't work. Outlook is far better and if it's not working, you Exchange administrator is doing a bad job. —Current unhappy @Gmail user and former Exchange administrator and intensive @Outlook user.
