  I 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.

  @Microsoft @Outlook y'all better fix the spam and phishing processes. Way too many spams that are not being blocked. The security team needs to wake up and do their job!!!!!!

  Oops! 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. 🚀

  @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps Your private reply did not answer my question or help resolve my issue. 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.

  @Outlook @Microsoft I reported fraud to you 4 days ago. And have still have ZERO response. my details are STILL compromised due to your lack of urgency with such a sensitive issue. Everything else was sorted in hours by various other companies. Shocking.

  @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.

  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

  Wade Dorrell (@waded) reported 41 minutes ago

  @Outlook please fix Android app notification actions. I hit DELETE on the notification, I want the notification to dismiss in 500ms or less, and I expect that the next time I check inbox, what I said I wanted deleted is deleted. Network delay, already-deleted-elsewhere, not even visible in inbox yet, yeah I know these things happen, but they can't be allowed to let the notification go unresponsive to actions taken.

  @Outlook How is your app so terrible and preventing junk/phishing emails going into peoples main inbox? Useless and the worst at it. You must be making something from it.

  Microsoft @Outlook is beyond broken. I accidentally wrote a wrong email ID (external) which failed to deliver. Now, I am trying to send it to the correct id, but outlook keeps "correcting" me to the wrong one. No intuitive way to bypass this. This has to be a joke or something.

  @Outlook I have had no access to my emails for 3 days now, I have tried from my phone, I have tried from my laptop nothing is working. When you google the outage it says that the issue has been resolved. Please can someone help me. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

  @Microsoft @Outlook I can post this screenshot into ANY AI and they will ALL come back and tell me this email is a scam, so shouldn't we expect the same from the @outlook mail filter? Please DO BETTER, why is this hard at least let us in on the technical issues as to why this is so hard!

  Calling the new @Office @Outlook garbage would be unfair to all garbage. Why the heck would you come out with such a slow web app looking monstrosity. Go back to legacy.

• 
  Bonynea (@Bonynea) reported 1 hour ago

  @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.
