    @Outlook having problems with my account. The hassle to log in is a joke. Looking for help

    Weird #outage today. I can’t access @Outlook at all, but some of my coworkers can, but some of their apps don’t work. I am truthfully in the “this really sucks” category. Have things to do.

    @Outlook How is your app so terrible and preventing junk/phishing emails going into peoples main inbox? Useless and the worst at it. You must be making something from it.

    @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

    @Outlook fix your service, tried to open mail on your site and it didn't ask me for login!!

    I can't believe this. Yesterday I could get in to my @Outlook Hotmail easily with 2 Step Verification. But now someone else has managed to accidentally use my mobile number (ends in 52) to override my use and use it to verify their account ending in 56. @Microsoft how do we fix this?

  • danielacna
    Daniela (@danielacna) reported

    @Microsoft @satyanadella @Outlook Hi Satya. I’ve had my Microsoft account for over 12 years with my correct date of birth. After my account was compromised, someone changed my birth year and Microsoft began treating my account as if I were 12 years old. I’ve tried repeatedly to correct this and recover my correct age, without success. Now Microsoft is introducing age verification in Brazil while my account remains incorrectly classified as belonging to a child. How is a longtime adult customer supposed to fix this when the account recovery process itself has failed?

    Can someone tell me how @Microsoft @Office @Outlook is a $3.8 TRILLION dollar company that doesn’t have adequate engineers to proactively fix email server issues & system outages???? Anybody????

  • Prabhakar_Mahe

    @Outlook Facing issues with my Outlook account — it keeps getting logged out on my laptop and mobile, and I’m unable to sign in again. Password reset is not working properly. Need help to recover access urgently

    Oops! Just realized that @Outlook doesn’t give you an option to choose a time zone for scheduled messages. What a bummer. @Microsoft please fix or add this option. 🚀

    @thefrostlord @Outlook SAME PROBLEM HERE FROSTLORD- Correct passwords are not being accepted by Outlook: "You've tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect account or password."

    @HindlesKitchen @Outlook When I used to use Apple, I didn't have as many issues, no where near as bad as the phishing I get on MS

  • wxkeup_1
    ✨Luminous✨ (@wxkeup_1) reported

    @Outlook why is password sign in constantly unavailable to my hotmail (outlook) account 90 percent of the time, requiring me to use sign in using a code? As someone who has had this email account with you for 25 years - it has become infuriating to use.

  • JJimisen
    JJ (@JJimisen) reported

    Microsoft has to stop making so many changes to its menus in Outlook. It increases irritation and cognitive load too much if people constantly are having to track down where a command is, such as how to insert an emoji in an email. @Outlook #microsoft #microsoftoutlook

    Inner Phoenix (@InnerPhoenix420) reported

    @Outlook @Outlook has become complete trash, letting unverified emails to email people, 100% are scammers or hackers, and @Microsoft like per usual is trash letting this happen. STILL AN ISSUE, STILL NOT FIXED, PATHETIC.

    paula atkinson (@xmckeallax) reported

    @Outlook like many people I've been logged out in my phone and can't log back in despite using the correct password. This problem has been an issue for a month now, what are you actually doing to fix it?

    @lostliano @Outlook @Microsoft I see a lot of people hating on you which isn’t fair - I can see the effort, but I think the main issue is the typography - it just feels “off” (and then I’m not a fan of the tab switcher) - but other than that it is really really really good. Good work!
