  @Outlook I’ve lost the ability to sign in to my email account on my iPhone/computer. I’ve been trying to recover it for hours. It’s very frustrating and I have important business to conduct

  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

  @Microsoft @Office @Outlook guys, I don’t know what the problem is but you need to red team your outlook search. It is such a train wreck you are for sure leaving billions of dollars of global economic development on the table from this one single thing

  @MSFT365Status @Outlook @MSFT365Status still not working 24 hours+ later?? It’s not fixed. I just want to be able to log into my account normally, without having to authenticate how many times I breathe per day!

  The AI bot will tell you that @Outlook know there is an issue too, so this is not new, and still not fixed. Brilliant.

  @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

  @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.

  @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!

  Alex 🌐 (@ajr_codes) reported 36 minutes ago

  Microsoft, why cant I log into my 20+ year old email? Why is it saying "You've tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect account or password." I have 2FA and a backup email + phone number. Why wouldnt you simply ask for the 2FA code??? @Microsoft @Outlook

  @awstar11 @Microsoft @Outlook Because deep down they know no one should use any of their products and they're subconsciously trying to drive users away? Best I got. If you figure it out let me know, been wondering this for decades.

  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
