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.

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.

Jimmy Fallon (@JimmyFal) reported@Microsoft @Outlook I can post this screenshot into ANY AI and they will ALL come back and tell me this email is a scam, so shouldn't we expect the same from the @outlook mail filter? Please DO BETTER, why is this hard at least let us in on the technical issues as to why this is so hard!
-
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!
-
Alfie (artist) (@HeadpatForRamen) reported@Outlook ur ‘not a robot test’ where you hold the button is bugged. I cannot log in on phone of tablet. Please fix it or help
-
Charlie (@Charles2982708) reported@Outlook this update that sends everything to my Draft folders automatically is complete BS Please change this! It doesn’t save any time and causes way too many problems. The majority of people using outlook for work Multi task and end up having all these emails disappear. When it’s out of site it’s out of mind. That’s not a good thing.
-
Jesús (@jdj_yepez) reported@Outlook You need to fix this ASAP. It really is frustrating. It’s turning into google’s search engine, just a bunch of ads and useless results that aren’t even close, to what I was searching for.
-
