    @Outlook So while my email password issue continues with the account you all took over, I decided to log into my substack which uses an email I made specifically for social media use. Guess what? That password didn't work either. Strange?

    @puneetck @Outlook I am a writer facing a huge glitch with my #Outlook. When I try to reply to an existing conversation/thread, the entire conversation disappears. It’s no longer visible in the reply mail. Please help. I have work-related communications suspended. @satyanadella

    Hey @Outlook we use you for work and all my colleagues and I run into this very annoying bug where you will reply to someone, it stops the typing cursor as if you clicked away and when you press space it will archive the e-mail chain. Can you please fix ASAP? thanks.

    @Outlook please fix the issue, cannot log into my account, cannot reset my password, cannot speak to anyone at Microsoft. Poor support for a paid service!

    @TBanton18 @Microsoft @Outlook Had this problem recently- logged me out and despite my password being correct wouldn’t let me back in. Have to use other authentication methods to get back in. Worked eventually but painful.

    @Outlook wtf is going on with email login -- why is the valid password with the special characters that you made me specifically choose not enough for me to login from the same exact laptop I use every day?

    . @Outlook I am being told my account is locked out. I need to verify I’m a human with a press and hold button. I have tried this several times and it keeps saying try again. How do I fix this and is there an actual person to assist in getting me access to my emails again?

    @Outlook looking at your tweet history only solidifies the growing issues with the new outlook. Is there a computer brand that doesn't have the new version of outlook on it, anywhere. - just the classic version? So the general public can avoid the problems

  • whatbluecheck
    K2 (@whatbluecheck) reported

    @Outlook Hotmail access has become impossible. With password "You've tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect account or password." and then with phone verification "That verification method isn't working right now." What the hell Microsoft??? Locked out of emails for a couple of weeks now.

    @Outlook My iPhone has been harassing me daily to "log-in" despite me never having logged out. you keep trying to push me to your broken "Authenticator App", no good. My password, set up 15 years ago, now doesn't work. Screw it! Screw you! Deleting the app is easier.

    @Microsoft @Windows @Outlook Why does Outlook's auto-fill username feature fail every time after a Windows update? It auto-populates the username, I enter the pswd, & then get an error because the username apparently isn't recognized. Happens after every restart. Frustrating.
