    .@Yahoo @YahooCare Yahoo has taken over my @Outlook email for my Yahoo and domain email address and my computer guy can't fix it, except to direct me to web mail. He doesn't believe upgrading to Windows 11 will fix this. Please suggest a fix. Thank you.

    Over 10 lockouts and endless appeals later, @Outlook is officially the most "secure" account I own—mostly because even I can't get into it. @Microsoft , please fix this verification loop. It’s exhausting.

    @Outlook Hey Outlook. Your mail app is broke. Having issues for days and I can’t find a resolution. Emails not getting delivered/sent and resetting accounts doesn’t work.

    @Outlook I am having trouble logging into my account. I changed my password on my desktop yesterday and trying to update on my phone and it won’t work. I then try and log into my desktop and it won’t let me as I have ‘tried to many times’.. this is ridiculous

    @comeasyouareTO @Outlook That is to say one login attempt with the correct password is not too many times with the incorrect password

  • keeganlanier

    Anyone using @Outlook on iOS having massive issues lately? Emails looking like they’ve been sent to only delete the message and return a blank email to draft without sending the original email? Emails ready to send, but the exit and send buttons won’t work. The app isn’t frozen, but you have to force close the app and hope the latest draft saved all changes. This is only happening on iOS to my knowledge

    @Outlook Email Templates in Outlook on the Web (PWA) seem to be broken. Changes do not get reflected when creating new emails using the template

    Is it just me, or has @Outlook become an absolute pile of garbage that has us loathing Microsoft Corporation. Bad software has become absolute garbage. I open this junk, my accounts are no longer set up, then you need a PhD in computer science to fix the problem.

    @Outlook I'm absolutely sick and tired of you. My email access has gone from eady and with no problems to waiting for access, also getting locked in having to restart my phone. It's an absolute pain I hate the ads which were bad enough on unfocused, but now on focused too
