-
JoeGeeky (@JoeGeeky) reported@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...

NorthCarolinaTrader (@NCarolinaTrader) reportedIs 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.
-
Jason Starr, Consumer Ventures, Awakened Foods (@JasonStarr) reportedHad to finally upgrade from "Legacy" @Microsoft @Outlook on a Mac to "new" Outlook (because old Outlook kept crashing my computer due to what I must assume was a massive a memory leak) Just miserable. Stupid, basic stuff still broken or mission. Formatting of signatures is totally messed up. Can't turn on/off hidden paragraph markers when editing email. Can no longer click within an email to see the conversation or related emails (this is a huge loss). This product has been out since 2020. It has been the default email client since 2022. HOW CAN IT STILL BE THIS BAD!?! Or do they just hate Mac users that much?

Chris Pred (@ChrisPred) reported@keeganlanier @Outlook I haven’t noticed it myself as I use Outlook on my iPad Pro with a M365 account.
