    @Outlook I keep getting an error message saying 'You've tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect account or password'. I've changed the password via my security information but I still get the same error message every time. It's exasperating!!! 😡

    @Outlook can @Microsoft please fix the new Outlook Desktop program? It is awful compared to classic. You cannot even do basic things and I been telling Microsoft this for a year and plus. Still cannot do basic tasks. Not to mention search is awful.

    @Outlook Requiring customers to sign in to their account in order to contact customer service about problems signing into their account is a horrible service model. Any advice on how I can obtain assistance via other channels?
