-
Seren Söyler (@soylerseren) reported@Outlook Outlook won't accept the images, even though they are very small. I'm wasting a lot of time. It's an incredibly primitive issue.
-
Taz 泰秀樂 (@tazorack) reported@Outlook @MicrosoftHelps when are you going to add basic Classic @Microsoft Outlook desktop program functions to this terrible non-native new Outlook desktop program?
-
Jay ♡ (@xwxfoxie) reported@lostliano @Outlook @Microsoft I see a lot of people hating on you which isn’t fair - I can see the effort, but I think the main issue is the typography - it just feels “off” (and then I’m not a fan of the tab switcher) - but other than that it is really really really good. Good work!
-
Neeraj (@Neeraj8k) reported@Outlook what’s the problem? You keep sending all my important emails to junk… please fix this… 😡
-
JJ (@JJimisen) reportedMicrosoft has to stop making so many changes to its menus in Outlook. It increases irritation and cognitive load too much if people constantly are having to track down where a command is, such as how to insert an emoji in an email. @Outlook #microsoft #microsoftoutlook
-
Sedal Gürses (@sgg1903) reported@UrsullineTV @Outlook Faced the same issue; @MarenXyber on X solved it.
-
Jamie (@TaxPayerxxxxx) reported@Microsoft @Outlook How is it you have to PAY to protect your accounts location wise? Why has no government stepped in here. I have a Hotmail/Outlook account that’s constantly getting Auth prompts from other countries. Why can I not restrict it to my own! It would fix 90% !
-
Varun101 (@vroon101) reported@Outlook fix your service, tried to open mail on your site and it didn't ask me for login!!
-
PY (@peteryanni) reported@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.

alli. (@lovemesomeALLI) reported@faisal9051911 @Outlook Did they recover your acct/email you or were you able to reset your pw w no issues?
-
jen (@JackalopePoop) reported@Outlook wtf is going on with email login -- why is the valid password with the special characters that you made me specifically choose not enough for me to login from the same exact laptop I use every day?
-
ATMOSARRISES (@XsinandtonicX) reported@Outlook unlock my personal email.. all I did was sign in from a new device and changed my phone number, I’ve submitted your form from another email already, I need access what is going onnnn
-
Vikram (@v1krams) reported@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.
-
Rant Man (@adultcrybaby) reported@Office @Outlook Worlds largest Email client and cannot fix POP IMAP which even Ai cannot fix. If anyone believes Ai is next frontier for Microsoft, No its fixing basic email configuration and servers. Failed at everything and Pain customers can't get out of..Shame
-
TONY SANDERSON (@EMANONF1) reported@Outlook Still down here in the uk, outrageous service. Please send to my mobile a code !!! That’s all I need.

-
Erdem Pulcu (@ErdemPulcu) reported@Microsoft cannot make @Outlook find emails in one's inbox. So much of time is being wasted everyday because Outlook doesn't work. Could someone explain to me why anyone should trust their AI models? If they are so good why don't you use it to fix the email??
-
Inner Phoenix (@InnerPhoenix420) reported@Outlook @Outlook has become complete trash, letting unverified emails to email people, 100% are scammers or hackers, and @Microsoft like per usual is trash letting this happen. STILL AN ISSUE, STILL NOT FIXED, PATHETIC.
-
Shoes (@J_Keith101) reported@MSFT365Status @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook I am still unable to get into my Hotmail account after 3+ days on ANY device or app and internet. Please take these issues seriously and fix this. This is NOT an intermittent problem, it is an OUTAGE.
-
Markus Trezdziack (@m_trezdziack) reported@Outlook looking at your tweet history only solidifies the growing issues with the new outlook. Is there a computer brand that doesn't have the new version of outlook on it, anywhere. - just the classic version? So the general public can avoid the problems
-
