    @Outlook It seems it was another one of your increasingly disruptive Updates ... once it went through, the problem solved itself on the work PC. I'll see about he domestic PC later.

  • DavidTaggart David Taggart-PDMacro.com (@DavidTaggart) reported

    Hey @Microsoft how are the @Outlook filter rules sooooo terrible? If i mark an email and a sending domain as not spam, and to never block it, then please stop sending it to spam. Your spam filters are so bad I consider the spam folder just an extension of my inbox

  • DarthB86 Tim Janus (@DarthB86) reported

    @Outlook since when do you assume email address equal to login name and do not give an option to provide a login name when setting up an E-Mail? Am I missing something or is this the Windows 11 experience?

  • brinel_smith Brinel Smith (@brinel_smith) reported

  • GrappleGuru Grapple Guru (@GrappleGuru) reported

    I wanna keep using @Microsoft @Outlook email instead of Gmail, but there are days when I'm almost fed up with its terrible junk mail filter. Legitimate emails from friends getting buried by several spam emails.

    @Outlook I have been trying to change my password but two factor is never sending me a text for my code even though I am 100% sure I am entering the correct last four digits of my phone number. Are the systems down? I am very stressed about this.

  • sophiejfhall sophiejfhall (@sophiejfhall) reported

    @Outlook I would LOVE to see unsolicitated junk mail in my inbox magically disappear and never come back. I would love for you to respond to emails sent to about this issue - that would be magic.
