    @msftsecresponse @Outlook And also, we can use another type of recovery, maybe with another email, or with a phone call or sms. With other mailboxes like GMAIL and YAHOO we have always managed to find a solution in the event of a problem. Please be willing and responsive! Please contact me ASAP!!!

  • iDineshRoy Dinesh Kumar Roy (@iDineshRoy) reported

    There's something deepening about the issues that (webmails to) @Outlook is facing. It's been over two years. I've contacted Outlook several times. They have not been able to solve it yet. Even the banks in Nepal nowadays ask for Gmail.

    @RuntyInk @Outlook At this point I feel like they just put in these annoyances intentionally to force people to slow down and be less productive ...

  • ahmedaads Ahmed Yousef (@ahmedaads) reported

    @Outlook is there any issue in Outlook in UAE now? I am not able to connect to my hotmail or outlook email

  • BobFrankston Bob Frankston (@BobFrankston) reported

    @Outlook Microsoft support for email is 100% siloed and cannot even refer a problem that is outside their narrow domain. I thought @Microsoft had addressed the siloing problem. I guess it is still unable to work across silos. Very frustrating.

  • mattang Mat Ong* (@mattang) reported

    hey @Outlook @Windows @Office365 thanks for the “coming soon” pop up development in outlook. But can you fix it so Oulook actually indexes recent emails? Can’t believe this still isn’t fixed… I don’t want a get around! I want the product I pay for, to work!

    @njames @Outlook @MicrosoftTeams Today it took my 20 minutes to sign in to a 30 minute meeting. Login with GitHub? Do you want to use your work email? Yes? Haha, no. Also your work email is now taken under another account so good luck to you

  • TracyGreggs Tracy Greggs (@TracyGreggs) reported

    @BenjaminOscar77 @Microsoft @Outlook If we could get a bunch of old school auto dialers going, we could overwhelm their voip in about 1 minute and effectively shut them down.

  • jonsevier Jon Sevier (@jonsevier) reported

    Looking to move my family @GoogleWorkspace email to @Outlook since I have an @Office365 account for my family. Has anyone done this? How tricky was it since the email domain is the login? Any horror stories using personal domains with o365?
