  • carmenmccain Carmen McCain (@carmenmccain) reported

    When you are deadly tired but have to send an email before going to bed. You click out of an email you have been working on for 30 minutes to check another email for info and the email you have been working on disappears, no sign in the draft box.😩 @Outlook is the worst!
