    Gmail search doesn't work. Outlook is far better and if it's not working, you Exchange administrator is doing a bad job. —Current unhappy @Gmail user and former Exchange administrator and intensive @Outlook user.

    @Microsoft @Outlook What's the point in sending 'Feedback' using the "Feedback Hub" if there are no answers and things don't get addressed? Myself and others have reported exploit issues in Outlook and other apps... and nothing... silence...

    @Outlook @Microsoft Luckily I have a passkey and was able to sign out of all my accounts elsewhere. In fact I removed the password as a sign in option for my account now. Strongly recommend everyone do this!

    @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....

    Hey @Outlook I can’t change my password because I can’t change my phone number. How do I fix this so I don’t lose my email address? I’ve been trying for a solid month with not one thing working and everything I do try you deny saying not enough information to grant me access!

    @Outlook Can't message you. So I'll have to post this. My phone of 8yrs just died so I got a new one. Tried to sign in multiple times but no joy with password, couldn't use authenticator as no password. Been locked out of my email account that I've had for 25yrs. Help please.

    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 Can I check that this is actually being taken seriously @Outlook as no one has responded to my DM which you requested 2 days ago. Just to clarify I cannot access my emails as your automated recovery process is not working for me and your supporting teams are refusing to help.

    @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps Hi Microsoft/Outlook team, I recently created a Microsoft account and got an @outlook.com email by default. But every email I send to Gmail addresses lands in the recipient's Spam folder, so they never see it. This is causing major inconvenience— Fix this
