  @Outlook are you aware of any glitches with shared calendars? I’ve lost 2 of my family calendars overnight and they can’t see mine anymore either. Have deleted them and readded. Still not working.

  @Outlook the new Outlook desktop app needs to go back to the drawing board. It is terrible and does not work as it should. Ya need to build a Native App and not all these web apps with terrible function. This and @MicrosoftTeams new desktop app are bad.

  @Outlook I liked Outlook Express, BUT, I just can’t stand Outlook in it’s present configuration. It has to be slimmed down and more useful before I’ll use it. I like MS, but I don’t like Outlook at all…just way too complicated.

  My bank account (Isbank) is officially linked to this compromised email address. I am ready to submit legal/banking documentation. This is not just an account issue, this is an active financial cybercrime in progress! @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook

  @Outlook My iPhone has been harassing me daily to "log-in" despite me never having logged out. you keep trying to push me to your broken "Authenticator App", no good. My password, set up 15 years ago, now doesn't work. Screw it! Screw you! Deleting the app is easier.

  Microsoft @Outlook is beyond broken. I accidentally wrote a wrong email ID (external) which failed to deliver. Now, I am trying to send it to the correct id, but outlook keeps "correcting" me to the wrong one. No intuitive way to bypass this. This has to be a joke or something.

  @Microsoft @Outlook I can post this screenshot into ANY AI and they will ALL come back and tell me this email is a scam, so shouldn't we expect the same from the @outlook mail filter? Please DO BETTER, why is this hard at least let us in on the technical issues as to why this is so hard!

  We’re in 2026 and @Outlook still can’t fix notifications and badges on iOS. It’s NEVER RIGHT. Always get these mystery notifications. Telling me 2 new emails and there’s only 1. Most frustrating thing. #outlooksucks

  @Outlook So while my email password issue continues with the account you all took over, I decided to log into my substack which uses an email I made specifically for social media use. Guess what? That password didn't work either. Strange?

  @Outlook is the app still down in the uk ? Can’t log in !

  Oktay (@OktayAykut1) reported 23 minutes ago

  @MicrosoftHelps @Microsoft @Outlook Update: I finally managed to recover my account. I had to install the Outlook app on iOS and go through the “forgot password” process there. Somehow the verification (robot test) worked there, and I was finally able to reset my password. This just shows how broken the system is — the same process didn’t work anywhere else. Also, Microsoft’s support is even worse than the system itself. No real help, no human support, just useless automated responses. This experience was extremely frustrating.

  @Outlook this update that sends everything to my Draft folders automatically is complete BS Please change this! It doesn’t save any time and causes way too many problems. The majority of people using outlook for work Multi task and end up having all these emails disappear. When it’s out of site it’s out of mind. That’s not a good thing.

  @Microsoft @Office @Outlook guys, I don’t know what the problem is but you need to red team your outlook search. It is such a train wreck you are for sure leaving billions of dollars of global economic development on the table from this one single thing

  Did you know if you use Outlook email and want to insert an American Flag emoji, there isn’t one? There’s a gay pride and a rainbow flag though. Fix that @Outlook 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

  My live/microsoft userid/email is in some leaked hack db and now I keep getting these Authenticator requests every few hours by someone trying to access my account. @Microsoft @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps is there a way to geofence my account and lock all access attempts from other countries. This can’t be just a problem unique to me
