-
Bonynea (@Bonynea) reported@Outlook It’s been days of failed recovery attempts, unanswered requests, and no real support. I completed the forms, followed every step, and still have no access to my recovery emails. At this point it feels like customers are being ignored instead of helped. Please escalate this issue.

José Rafael Gabaldón (@Gabalzac) reported@peteryanni @Outlook Agree. Terrible decision by @Outlook

Kiera (@kiera34670) reported@Outlook I have had no access to my emails for 3 days now, I have tried from my phone, I have tried from my laptop nothing is working. When you google the outage it says that the issue has been resolved. Please can someone help me. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

PY (@peteryanni) reported@Outlook Why remove Send Availability from the mobile app? It was one of the most useful features for scheduling on the go. Now the calendar button only creates events, and checking free times requires minimizing the draft or saving it just to switch tabs. Proposing 3–5 options has become a slow back-and-forth process.

Terrible update

-
Thee Wane (@CoachWane) reported@Microsoft @Outlook y'all better fix the spam and phishing processes. Way too many spams that are not being blocked. The security team needs to wake up and do their job!!!!!!
-

-
tortured hot girl department (@maaaaandyy) reportedI’m removing all my accounts from my @Outlook, since I can’t access my email and I’m worried about losing important information. I can’t believe @Microsoft can’t simply fix an email bug. They are an email company omgggggg
-

Beer stein of the void (@beer_and_mtg) reported@Microsoft @Office @Outlook guys, I don’t know what the problem is but you need to red team your outlook search.

-
William (@dxgl_org) reported@eternalsparrow1 @USCPSC They are still selling fraudulent capacity 18650 batteries but CPSC is not taking them down on that. Also the remedy involves contacting an @outlook.com email so CPSC is posing a potential cybersecurity risk.
-
Ian McKenna (@ianmckennaftrc) reportedHey @Microsoft I’m a big fan of voice recognition tech but why can you #VoiceAccess app not be moved on screen? It now blocks multiple key apps including @Outlook & @MicrosoftEdge this makes those much harder to use. Didn’t do this before. Can I suggest an urgent fix is needed
-
Vikram (@v1krams) reported@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.
