    @Outlook has the worse account recovery method. I recently encountered an issue accessing my account due to SMS verification method stopped working in Pakistan. Official support responded with can't help in any way. Should have informed to setup other verification methods.

  • Aza09100 Assiah (@Aza09100) reported

    @ginez_17 @Outlook same issue, have you find a fix ?

  • dinksinct David Phillips (@dinksinct) reported

    @Outlook "focused inbox" is terrible, who approved this to default to "on"? Fire them, demote them to coffee runner. Miserable feature and you force us to use google to learn how to turn it off!

  • saballo_jos Jose Saballo (@saballo_jos) reported

    For several days, I’ve been trying to access my Outlook account but keep getting errors like “try again tomorrow.” I’m wondering if I should consider my account lost in this endless loop of poor service and distress. @Microsoft @Outlook

  • AlBonDeega Al Bon Deega (@AlBonDeega) reported

    @Xbox So I can't sign in and to contact support I must be signed in Please explain how this is possible, @Outlook ? How can I sign in to my account to contact support to tell them that I can't sign into my account?

  • __joost_ Joost (@__joost_) reported

    Going in circles with Outlook support. Via the support channels I am only being redirected. That resulted in 6 separate cases and no "outlook" that anyone is actually fixing my issue. I already have no mail for a week on my office 365 subscription! @outlook @MicrosoftHelps

  • Mikaidesu Mikai (@Mikaidesu) reported

  • BytestarX 🕊️Byte💙Star🕊️ (@BytestarX) reported

    Saving attachments to OneDrive does not work in the new Outlook, whereas it works in Outlook (Classic) without any problems. What could be the reason for this? @onedrive @Outlook

  • NemesisDragoon6 -El Dragoon y sus Recuerdos- 💙🎮🤘 (@NemesisDragoon6) reported

  • __joost_ Joost (@__joost_) reported

    Going in circles with Microsoft Outlook support. Via support I am only being redirected. So far that resulted in 6 separate cases and no @outlook that anyone is actually fixing my issues. I already have no mail for a week on my office 365 subscription! @outlook @MicrosoftHelps

    @zoegrenfell1 @Outlook @Steve__support can resolve this problem permanently.

  • amph350 D (@amph350) reported

    @Outlook hey fix the too many request thing, i cant log in for about two months now

  • zort70 Ian Knight (@zort70) reported

    Question is whether this is an @outlook / @Microsoft issue or our issue, can't see a way to determine the true time as the saved file doesn't have any clue as to what it should be and we can't assume that every email file is one hour out 4/end

  • janieho16 Janie Ho • NYC 🍒 (@janieho16) reported

    @Outlook Microsoft Outlook mobile app is scary. Anyone have issue with the body of draft emails disappearing, permanently, when opening? 6x long draft emails, weeks' research. Gone on desktop too. Forums have the same issue. DM support here takes wks to converse, always forgets issue🙄

    Dear Microsoft Support Team, I am writing to report an issue with the Outlook mobile application on Android. The app consistently crashes immediately upon launch, making it unusable. I have tried restarting the device and reinstalling the application. @Outlook @Microsoft

  • zurcnet zurc (@zurcnet) reported

    Is it just me or does @Microsoft @Outlook email through @GoDaddy the biggest piece of ****? Especially if you have several accounts. Always issues signing in and when you are actually able to, issues sending emails.

    @Outlook fix your ******* app on Android. I should have received 2 order confirmation emails today but haven't got either. And yes, I checked your insufferable junk mail folder that half of my important emails end up in no matter what settings I change or accounts I white list.

  • janieho16 Janie Ho • NYC 🍒 (@janieho16) reported

    @Outlook Does anyone have this issue with Outlook email app? 6x in months On top of that, outlook/.com emails go to junk or don't deliver a lot Body of my mobile app email draft is blank upon opening the draft This is really disatrous and detrimental. This is in MSFT forums a lot, too
