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

    @Outlook your "Prove you're a human" captcha is so horribly, horribly broken that i cannot even make an account. i've tried 3 browsers and my iphone. How could your signup flow be so bad in 2026 that people can't even create an account?

    @Outlook Are there issues with Outlook on iOS 26.4? I’ve been getting delayed notifications for a couple weeks. The email will show in my inbox, but I’ll get the iOS notification a couple minutes after.

    It seems extremely likely the US is experiencing either (a) a series of cyber attacks or (b) basic web infrastructure issues. Both @gmail and @Outlook have been down in the same week.

    @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...

    How embarrassing for @satyanadella showing how @Windows legacy bloat and tech debt is putting mission critical, national-visibility use of #Windows is broken. The @Outlook team should be scrambling.

    Hey Its Burt (@josephburt) reported

    Probably not what @Microsoft /@Office want to hear... yeah can you remote in and fix the two @Outlook apps running. Sounds like you still can't make a stable OS ...

    @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!

    @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook Not being able to drag and drop emails and attachments into SharePoint is a huge limitation for collaborators. Why can’t a trillion dollar company fix this?

    @Microsoft @Office @Outlook Why does Outlook for Mac always have non-stop issues? Why is my desktop app unable to Sync or connect for hours, sometimes even the entire day, multiple times per month? There's some MAJOR issues inside Outlook for Mac OS and it's not just mine.

    @Outlook I’m struggling to get any traction from your support teams to regain access to my Hotmail account. Recovery forms are not working. Who do I escalate to? I have had this issue for 1 month now.

    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.
