-
None of These Candidates (@noneofthesecand) reportedTrying to think of a way @Outlook or @MicrosoftHelps could be EVEN MORE retarded but I can't think of a way. You and your DEI hires just add spam calendar invites without even asking me... Then I can't use the app bc you want me to login with Outlook which is RETARDED because...

TONY SANDERSON (@EMANONF1) reported@Outlook I can not believe the incompetence at this company, my email is still down, they just will not send me a code to reset my work/private account. I have just had to wait a full 7 days to try again, nothing and now they want me to wait 28 days!!!

Rahimuddin (@mdrahiem) reportedWhen you can implement input focus in 2 steps out of 3 in the login form, what's the reason to not implement in the OTP section too @Outlook?
-
Finchwizard (@Finchwizard) reportedWe’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
-
Dee (@PlatinumEvents_) reported@Outlook The verification is not working for me when I try to log in via my laptop. Could you assist.
-
Seren Söyler (@soylerseren) reported@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.
-
Permian Landman (@PermianLandman) reportedCalling the new @Office @Outlook garbage would be unfair to all garbage. Why the heck would you come out with such a slow web app looking monstrosity. Go back to legacy.
-
Markus Trezdziack (@m_trezdziack) reported@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

HIGHBURY HAMBURGERS (@choparteta) reportedif anyone has a @Yahoo..deactvate it..they are pure scum..even when u enter ur password to login they block u..create with @Outlook
-
TONY SANDERSON (@EMANONF1) reported@TylerJs981 @Outlook Still down, won’t send me a code to my mobile phone!
-
Oktay (@OktayAykut1) reported@MicrosoftHelps @Microsoft @Outlook Update: I finally managed to recover my account. I had to install the Outlook app on iOS and go through the “forgot password” process there. Somehow the verification (robot test) worked there, and I was finally able to reset my password. This just shows how broken the system is — the same process didn’t work anywhere else. Also, Microsoft’s support is even worse than the system itself. No real help, no human support, just useless automated responses. This experience was extremely frustrating.

secret name (@dbfssecret) reported@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.
-
D🧚🏽 (@_preciousdee) reportedI really do not understand why do I have to keep signing into the damn email so many times. @Outlook @Office What happened to the keep me sign in feature? Jeeeez
-
N8 (@nathane10422899) reportedThe new @Outlook is terrible, you can’t even respond to original emails sent to you if someone that was cc’d sends a response to that email and you press reply as well it will never go back to the original email it will only respond to the person that responded. Terrible update
-
Wade Dorrell (@waded) reported@Outlook please fix Android app notification actions. I hit DELETE on the notification, I want the notification to dismiss in 500ms or less, and I expect that the next time I check inbox, what I said I wanted deleted is deleted. Network delay, already-deleted-elsewhere, not even visible in inbox yet, yeah I know these things happen, but they can't be allowed to let the notification go unresponsive to actions taken.
-
Kvng (@Kvng4r) reported@Outlook Hello @outlook I’m having a trouble with my subscription I’m being debited but my subscription still remain unpaid i will like a refund to my card
-
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.

Timothy Nichols (@nichols_ti28279) reported@jorgemarketer @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps Volan_xyber can fix this.
-
Africanart4spaces (@AAFSart) reported@Outlook I have issues accessing my email but I keep getting AI blocking me from speaking to an actual human what the hell
-
M Raj (@MrVeritas) reportedIs anyone else’s @Outlook email Not working? Seems the services are down again just like in April. Hope @MicrosoftHelps is Aware of the Outlook email outage (login error, too many attempts) and is working to fix it.
-
PY (@peteryanni) reported@Outlook Why remove Send Availability from the mobile app? It was one of the most useful features for scheduling on the go. Now the calendar button only creates events, and checking free times requires minimizing the draft or saving it just to switch tabs. Proposing 3–5 options has become a slow back-and-forth process.

tortured hot girl department (@maaaaandyy) reportedWhy can’t you fix the mail for iphone issue???? That can’t be so hard. Ask your tech team to use claude c’mon @Microsoft @Outlook @MicrosoftBr
