    @outlook 24 hours + & it’s still down 🤬🤬🤬 can’t fix it via any of they ways they are saying to do. Need it fixed waiting for important work emails that could potentially make or break whether I keep my job or not.

    @Outlook 4 inscrutable puzzles to help you fight “the robots” only for it to encounter an unexpected error and have me do it again. Useless anti-user company. Absolute out of touch disgrace.

    @AmberWithLuv @laura_smith1985 @Outlook Seems to be only affecting IPhones, don’t know about Androids. My IPad has no issues…

    @davidfowl Please tell the @Outlook team. They don't seem to have gotten that memo and are still building that terrible web-based "new Outlook" for Windows while also building a nice native client for Mac. So they can do it properly, just not for your own platform...

    What the heck is up with @Outlook?? Been locked out of my email for two days and all I get is “this verification method isn’t working right now” and then it says I’ve requested too many codes! Also can’t contact support cause I can’t sign in or access your chatbot :(

    @MSFT365Status Hi @Outlook and @MSFT365Status It has been >24hrs and lots of us did the steps you listed. I myself just tried to access my email accounts a minute ago through ios email app and also Outlook email app. This is still NOT working! It keeps asking for entering the captcha codes and not excepting the entered password! Can you please prioritize the resolution of this access issue?

    The new @Outlook is terrible, you can’t even respond to original emails sent to you if someone that was cc’d sends a response to that email and you press reply as well it will never go back to the original email it will only respond to the person that responded. Terrible update
