    @Microsoft @Office @Outlook Why does Outlook for Mac always have non-stop issues? Why is my desktop app unable to Sync or connect for hours, sometimes even the entire day, multiple times per month? There's some MAJOR issues inside Outlook for Mac OS and it's not just mine.

    Also, @Outlook I had to put these in my junk profile myself. Are you not able to tell these are spam? Cuz if not, we should just shut y'all down now and save everyone some time and anguish.

    @Outlook I’m a sole global admin fully locked out of my business account. The phone number allocated to my case has issues receiving calls. I desperately need this sorted so I can work. Is there anything more I can do, at the very least to change the phone number?

    @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 - Just now received an email sent to me on January 22, 2026 at 5:37 p.m. It arrived 1/28/2026 at 10:08 a.m. You claimed to have "fixed" your issues on 1/22 - clearly that was a lie. You had ONE JOB....

    Lose the phone with your authentication app and you're in for the ride trying to login to your account! Many codes sent today mbu try again tomorrow @Microsoft @Outlook

    @Azure : Remove this insanity of #AuthenticatorApp! I created a new biz account for some emailing, put the debit card, then the login forces to setup that stupid app, but I don't own a smartphone (and won't borrow anyone's). I tried to call support but got disconnected, calling again leads nowhere. At this point I could not even cancel the membership because I cannot login... Madness! Just let the customer decides what they want as 2FA!!! They know better, you control-freaks. So what am I supposed to do at this point? Cannot login, cannot setup auth app, cannot even cancel because cannot login, cannot open a case online because cannot login, and no "Use another way" option to skip this silly Auth-App setup, and no Desktop App either since I run exclusively on Linux.... Why so complicated??? Keep It Simple Stupid. @Microsoft @Outlook

    @Outlook Dear Microsoft. Your Outlook email program is performing beyond all expectations. I'm down to 50 spam emails a day. Thanks for the bang-up you do on eliminating spam.
