    @Outlook I am having a technical issue with my personal account. It is being incorrectly flagged as a child account. When I try to verify my age by clicking 'I am a parent', I immediately get a 'Logout Failed' error page on all devices and browsers.

    Is it just me, or has @Outlook become an absolute pile of garbage that has us loathing Microsoft Corporation. Bad software has become absolute garbage. I open this junk, my accounts are no longer set up, then you need a PhD in computer science to fix the problem.

    @Outlook I’m struggling to get any traction from your support teams to regain access to my Hotmail account. Recovery forms are not working. Who do I escalate to? I have had this issue for 1 month now.

    @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook Not being able to drag and drop emails and attachments into SharePoint is a huge limitation for collaborators. Why can’t a trillion dollar company fix this?

    Hey @Outlook I can’t change my password because I can’t change my phone number. How do I fix this so I don’t lose my email address? I’ve been trying for a solid month with not one thing working and everything I do try you deny saying not enough information to grant me access!

  • 1_hsm

    @Outlook why are your teams refusing to help with my Hotmail account recovery and just asking me to fill out recovery forms again and again. This is not working. This is my own personal data which I have a right to. Please help me

  • JasonStarr
    Jason Starr, Consumer Ventures, Awakened Foods (@JasonStarr) reported

    Had to finally upgrade from "Legacy" @Microsoft @Outlook on a Mac to "new" Outlook (because old Outlook kept crashing my computer due to what I must assume was a massive a memory leak) Just miserable. Stupid, basic stuff still broken or mission. Formatting of signatures is totally messed up. Can't turn on/off hidden paragraph markers when editing email. Can no longer click within an email to see the conversation or related emails (this is a huge loss). This product has been out since 2020. It has been the default email client since 2022. HOW CAN IT STILL BE THIS BAD!?! Or do they just hate Mac users that much?

    @Outlook I’m a sole global admin fully locked out of my business account. The phone number allocated to my case has issues receiving calls. I desperately need this sorted so I can work. Is there anything more I can do, at the very least to change the phone number?

  • 1_hsm
    Cheekyman81 (@1_hsm) reported

    @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps I’ve been locked out of my Hotmail account for over a month. I’ve submitted the recovery form multiple times with correct details, but it’s rejected immediately each time.I was advised to submit a reinstatement request, which I did, but not working.

    @Outlook I am having trouble logging into my account. I changed my password on my desktop yesterday and trying to update on my phone and it won’t work. I then try and log into my desktop and it won’t let me as I have ‘tried to many times’.. this is ridiculous

    @retrobike_c16 @Outlook Cut down your image size in paint or preview in Mac. Then make the signature in word. Only way I could get our team to have consistent signatures

    Tried the new Outlook app on Windows 11 for a few weeks and reverted back to classic cause of weird email formatting issues. In replies, my emails were returned all stretched out and looked out of whack. @Microsoft @Outlook @Windows

    @Outlook I was able to fix the problem using another computer and a different network.
