    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

    @Office @Outlook What are you'll doing to fix this? Half of my company emails work but ironically the most important one I can't access for client submissions, and we are gonna launch tomorrow. Unacceptable Microsoft.

    My bank account (Isbank) is officially linked to this compromised email address. I am ready to submit legal/banking documentation. This is not just an account issue, this is an active financial cybercrime in progress! @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook

    @fashionizta @Microsoft @Outlook Mine has been down for 6 hours and I’m leading communications and publicity for a national tour. I hate them so bad! The most incompetent service I’ve ever had!

    @Outlook Why remove Send Availability from the mobile app? It was one of the most useful features for scheduling on the go. Now the calendar button only creates events, and checking free times requires minimizing the draft or saving it just to switch tabs. Proposing 3–5 options has become a slow back-and-forth process.

    @Microsoft @Windows @Outlook Why does Outlook's auto-fill username feature fail every time after a Windows update? It auto-populates the username, I enter the pswd, & then get an error because the username apparently isn't recognized. Happens after every restart. Frustrating.

  • wxkeup_1

    @Outlook why is password sign in constantly unavailable to my hotmail (outlook) account 90 percent of the time, requiring me to use sign in using a code? As someone who has had this email account with you for 25 years - it has become infuriating to use.

  • xmckeallax
    paula atkinson (@xmckeallax) reported

    @Outlook like many people I've been logged out in my phone and can't log back in despite using the correct password. This problem has been an issue for a month now, what are you actually doing to fix it?

  • KrisWorkLife
    🚀K.R.I.S. (@KrisWorkLife) reported

    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 @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.

    @eternalsparrow1 @USCPSC They are still selling fraudulent capacity 18650 batteries but CPSC is not taking them down on that. Also the remedy involves contacting an @outlook.com email so CPSC is posing a potential cybersecurity risk.

    @Outlook I am going on day 2 of tech issues with outlook. It is now affecting my job and my communication with clients. Is there an ETA on when this issue will be resolved?!

    @Outlook I liked Outlook Express, BUT, I just can’t stand Outlook in it’s present configuration. It has to be slimmed down and more useful before I’ll use it. I like MS, but I don’t like Outlook at all…just way too complicated.

    @Outlook Correct passwords are not being accepted by Outlook: "You've tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect account or password." ANNOYING

  • 1967Christian

    @Outlook I'm trying to sign into my email. It keeps telling me to enter a second email address to "protect my account". I only have one email. I don't want a second email. I'm old fashioned, I just want to sign in using my password, and access my emails.

  • 5PriscillaKing
    Priscilla King (@5PriscillaKing) reported

    @Microsoft @Outlook just causes problems whenever I open it. I've been trying to read e-mail today and, so far, Chrome has crashed six times. This has not allowed much e-mail to be read. I'm probably going to change my public e-mail address this weekend.
