    @Outlook have had my Hotmail for like 20 years and now I can’t get in. I hate the world we live in where I can’t just talk to someone and solve the problem. Literally everything is useless for support. Companies don’t care to help you anymore.

    Well @Microsoft .. guess I better sort out all my **** that I use a hotmail account for and get it changed over to Gmail or other option. 3 days down is a little much when finances/trips/etc depend on info sharing via email. #microsoft #outlook #hotmail @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps
