    Also, @Outlook I had to put these in my junk profile myself. Are you not able to tell these are spam? Cuz if not, we should just shut y'all down now and save everyone some time and anguish.

    @Outlook I think everyone who has a complaint about Microsoft (because I can not be the only one), and their lack of customer service and related productivity issues should get together and let’s Sue them. I have paid multiple times for this ****

    @Outlook can you fix your spam filters. I keep marking emails as junk but seems your ML retraining and spam categorisation models are outdated. I'm half considering shifting my main account and using @gmail

    Gmail search doesn't work. Outlook is far better and if it's not working, you Exchange administrator is doing a bad job. —Current unhappy @Gmail user and former Exchange administrator and intensive @Outlook user.

    @Microsoft @Outlook What's the point in sending 'Feedback' using the "Feedback Hub" if there are no answers and things don't get addressed? Myself and others have reported exploit issues in Outlook and other apps... and nothing... silence...

    @Outlook you’d think your server could block phishing emails. FFS, the floodgate is open.

    @Outlook @Microsoft Luckily I have a passkey and was able to sign out of all my accounts elsewhere. In fact I removed the password as a sign in option for my account now. Strongly recommend everyone do this!
