  @culturedpearl47 @Outlook Can you share a screenshot of the error?

  @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.

  @HowardRoark90 @Outlook @Microsoft Was having issues syncing my Gmail to Outlook earlier, but fine soon after. I removed and re-added my Gmail to Outlook etc.

  @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.

  @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.

  @Outlook So while my email password issue continues with the account you all took over, I decided to log into my substack which uses an email I made specifically for social media use. Guess what? That password didn't work either. Strange?

  I can't believe this. Yesterday I could get in to my @Outlook Hotmail easily with 2 Step Verification. But now someone else has managed to accidentally use my mobile number (ends in 52) to override my use and use it to verify their account ending in 56. @Microsoft how do we fix this?

  @Outlook My iPhone has been harassing me daily to "log-in" despite me never having logged out. you keep trying to push me to your broken "Authenticator App", no good. My password, set up 15 years ago, now doesn't work. Screw it! Screw you! Deleting the app is easier.

  Client emails a table for various component names (column1) and costs (column2). I click forward in @Outlook and lo-behold, the table converts to something unreadable, each cell has been put in its own row! Why? @Microsoft please resolve this issue ASAP or moving to @ZohoMail

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

  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

  Blocking my previous tweets @Outlook ? Why are there no alternative means of support for account access error? I signed in from a new device with a new phone number with my exact credentials ?

  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. 🚀
