  @Outlook you really gotta make verification slightly easier, I tried all night to login to my account and I can’t because the alt email I set up is no longer in use. Very frustrating.

  @Outlook I haven't been able to access my account for almost a week. The app keeps saying it can't access the account and the website says there's a typo in the link when I click on Login.

  @Outlook the mail is a complete mess today, you have to fix this asap or never again, "been with you" since the 90s

  @martymadrid Why doesn't anyone see the problem, which has existed for years? It's a pain in the *** to schedule meetings when you don't know each other's availability. @Outlook has solved it on the corporate level but it's still there for external connections.

  Locked out of my @Outlook account and the help articles tell me in order to recover my account I have to sign in. FFS. 😩

  @Outlook push notifications have completed stopped working on the iOS 15 mail app, been like this for weeks/maybe months. Managed to get push notifications directly from the Outlook app but it's a workaround rather than a fix. Any news?

  @Outlook Appalled by the non existent help from you guys. I have an issue accessing my outlook email and after completing the online form and contacting you via Facebook I have been left with no help and told your service agents can’t help. Poor service.

  @outlook and just to be clear its effective in securing your account, including the owner of the account when certain conditions are met. do fix this as it has become a very big inconvenience and your assistance option are quit limited towards solving this problem.

  @Outlook Any idea when the search function issue will be resolved? Resorting to using the Gmail app to search for emails is tedious.

  Just want to set up a login for my child to use my laptop in a separate account. Seriously do I need to create a @Outlook account/mail for this? #Windows10

  LogicallyBlonde (@BlondeLogically) reported 33 minutes ago

  @Outlook could a human help me please? I have been going round in circles trying to unblock my e-Mail account - I have sausage fingers and typed my password incorrectly. Your virtual help won’t help me unless I can sign in, and I’m not getting a response from the reset process🤪

  @Outlook Your new fake email thats actually an ad has actually made me turn back on my adblock which had previously been turned off for outlook, terrible idea.

  .@Outlook My email account with you is not recognising a bona fide gmail address in a group email I want to send, meaning I have to send it to them individually. How can I fix this, please?

• 
  Oana (@OanaPicincu) reported 43 minutes ago

  @Outlook Hi! Can you please make Outlook organise (by default) names in alphabetical order when sending emails to (many) people? It might help calm down some egos (with titles) that get super sensitive on the order in which their names is placed in the email distribution list…

  @Outlook hey my outlook is not loading my emails from the 1st January on my app or my server I don’t know how to fix it your trouble shooting page is too complicated

  Alexander Berner (@Elek03) reported 48 minutes ago

  I'm very frustated by @gmail. We had a hacked account which was quickly fixed. Since one month poor domain reputation. GMail has no support, help or contact option to fix the issue. SPF, DKIM, DMARC everything set up and tested. Even Microsoft @Outlook does it better!

  @ochostrike @Outlook User error. Never rely on Outlook to send emails...

• 
  Skye (@ImSkyeTwit) reported 52 minutes ago

  @italic Are you aware that something in your emails causes problems with the desktop version of @Outlook . As soon as one of your emails is visible in the list, CPU usage spikes and Outlook freezes. I suspect is has something to do with the excessive amount of base64 you use.

• 
  Bryce (@blobdell) reported 54 minutes ago

  @Outlook Just realized I hadn't got any email in several days. Hit "sync" no new mail. Logged into OWA and I have dozens of new emails. Maybe you want to fix it so that if it is not getting email for some reason that it tells the user as much.
