Chris Pred (@ChrisPred) reported@keeganlanier @Outlook I haven’t noticed it myself as I use Outlook on my iPad Pro with a M365 account. Are you connecting to Exchange server or another email provider such as Google or iCloud? I am thinking it could be a sync issue with IMAP or something along those lines.

NEO_England (@NEO_England) reported@Outlook Dear Microsoft. I’m locked out of my personal email, my authentication on my phone is linked as recovery for my business email. I get a prompt to enter my mobile so I can get a text to be greeted with ‘it’s not working right now’. I have forgotten my password and have tried countless hours trying to get my personal email up and running… one course of action was encountering AI chat which was useless! I am at the end of my tether now as it’s been over a month of trying and as you can appreciate, it’s incredibly disruptive. I have some very important personal emails that I can’t now access! I can’t speak to a human so how can you remedy this?

Matt Ayoub (@mattayoub1) reported@Outlook @Microsoft it’s been WEEKS and my Hotmail is STILL in another language! Can someone please contact me and actually follow through till the issue is resolved?
