    @Outlook Dear Microsoft. Your Outlook email program is performing beyond all expectations. I'm down to 50 spam emails a day. Thanks for the bang-up you do on eliminating spam.

    @Outlook why suddenly can't I get into my long owned emails. I've gone down a rabbit hole being redirected by your website. It's saying I've downloaded it (after deleting it) and it's not showing on my phone!!

    @Outlook Hi, I’m experiencing an issue with OTP detection in Outlook notifications. When I request a GitHub OTP, Outlook shows a “Copy OTP” option, but it only captures 6 digits, whereas GitHub OTPs sometimes contain 8 characters. This leads to incorrect copying and fail

    I see @Microsoft @Outlook must have had another issue/breakdown in spam filters as their service becomes completely unusable for me AGAIN! Multiple copies of emails getting through. As you scan every email how can you not detect spam contents that match deluges of reports to you?

    @Outlook How am I supposed to reset my password or recover my account when the phone number option isn’t working. I keep getting an error that reads “this method is not working right now”. I can’t log in to get any help or support and the Get Help page does not address my issue.

    Brad (@blcdude1) reported

    I’ve had awful luck with @outlook the past week. Every time I log in, I get told there have been too many failed attempts and I’m forced to reset my password. It makes the website feel very insecure, a major security issue.

    @Outlook your email server is sending wrong error message. WTF? "blocked using Spamhaus. To request removal from this list see" plainly wrong.

    @Outlook I haven’t been able to log in to my email for a few days now. I see that others have the same issue, when will it be resolved??

    Cindy Bisset (@bisset_cindy) reported

    @Outlook I think everyone who has a complaint about Microsoft (because I can not be the only one), and their lack of customer service and related productivity issues should get together and let’s Sue them. I have paid multiple times for this ****

    @Outlook Are there issues with Outlook on iOS 26.4? I’ve been getting delayed notifications for a couple weeks. The email will show in my inbox, but I’ll get the iOS notification a couple minutes after.
