    @Outlook why is my email still locked even after I have filled out the forms twice. Is a crime that I opened an email for very important matters? What kind of problem is this????

  • asifrehmani Asif Rehmani (@asifrehmani) reported

    @Outlook Microsoft Outlook is such a great tool used by so many. Not sure why you guys are messing it up with the "new" Outlook. That experience is so slow... I've tried to go a couple of times now and keep on going back to the "older" Outlook.

  • pathintegral23 Rohit B (@pathintegral23) reported

    I am again getting “too many requests” while trying to login to my email @Outlook

  • micahthacker Micah Thacker (@micahthacker) reported

    @GOTORONIWOOD @Outlook This isn't just a glitch it's a betrayal of trust. While Microsoft gives canned responses, @AJTheTech actually digs into these cases. Many have recovered data through him after similar nightmares

  • PhoenixUp_999 #REJECTTHISREGIME (@PhoenixUp_999) reported

    @Outlook Trying to login to my account but it says too many requests, what could be the problem?

    @MSFT365Status @Outlook It’s been over a month I have been blocked from my account and I can’t change my password due your issues.

  • boomtingl BoomtinglI (@boomtingl) reported

    @TeachREEthics @Outlook I've got the same problem. Did I say something wrong? It's like they cut you off for thinking or something? I bought a subscription to overcome the Onedrive extortion for more storage and they can't make it work.

  • tazorack Taz 泰秀樂 (@tazorack) reported

    @Outlook you guys need to fix the new desktop outlook. You want to force us to use something that needs a lot of work. This is basically the web outlook, which in itself is trash.
