    @Outlook Can MS Copilot fix the login issue? MS shares multiple updates every week about AI and how amazing it is. But fails to provide a basic level of customer support to users with technical issues.

    @Outlook I tried accessing Outlook, but it's stuck on the blue envelope icon, despite finishing loading. I then refreshed it, and got the Error 500 message: We can't get that information right now. Try again later. I cleared my cache and cookies and that didn't help.

    Im curious to see how many users will switch from @Microsoft @Outlook after this #outage To be completely honest i believe they deserve to lose thousands. The handling of the entire #outlookoutage by #microsoft is pathetic

  • Bella_Astro ✨Claire-a-bella✨ (@Bella_Astro) reported

    @kath79 @Outlook Mine is still down too. When I try and log on, on the computer mine says it's a server issue 🙄 I'm now getting email notifications on my phone but when I try and open the email it says, 'couldn't open file'!
