    I see @Microsoft @Outlook must have had another issue/breakdown in spam filters as their service becomes completely unusable for me AGAIN! Multiple copies of emails getting through. As you scan every email how can you not detect spam contents that match deluges of reports to you?

    Gmail search doesn't work. Outlook is far better and if it's not working, you Exchange administrator is doing a bad job. —Current unhappy @Gmail user and former Exchange administrator and intensive @Outlook user.

    Hey @Outlook wtf is your issue w/ signing on ipads? The ONLY time y'all won't let me sign-in is when it's on an ipad. Also, STOP DEFAULTING TO SENDING VERIFICATION CODES TO AN ALTERNATE EMAIL, I KNOW MY PASSWORDS.

    How embarrassing for @satyanadella showing how @Windows legacy bloat and tech debt is putting mission critical, national-visibility use of #Windows is broken. The @Outlook team should be scrambling.

    @Outlook dear ********, your new version is ******* terrible 😣 new doesn’t always mean better *******. Classic was perfectly fine the way it was!

  • JasonStarr
    Jason Starr, Consumer Ventures, Awakened Foods (@JasonStarr) reported

    Had to finally upgrade from "Legacy" @Microsoft @Outlook on a Mac to "new" Outlook (because old Outlook kept crashing my computer due to what I must assume was a massive a memory leak) Just miserable. Stupid, basic stuff still broken or mission. Formatting of signatures is totally messed up. Can't turn on/off hidden paragraph markers when editing email. Can no longer click within an email to see the conversation or related emails (this is a huge loss). This product has been out since 2020. It has been the default email client since 2022. HOW CAN IT STILL BE THIS BAD!?! Or do they just hate Mac users that much?

    Hey @Outlook I can’t change my password because I can’t change my phone number. How do I fix this so I don’t lose my email address? I’ve been trying for a solid month with not one thing working and everything I do try you deny saying not enough information to grant me access!

  • tanfrancisco
    Ture Anderson (@tanfrancisco) reported

    @Outlook the Outlook password recovery system is not working for me. It keeps kicking me out. Can I speak with somebody or can somebody please help me? I’ve been spending two weeks trying to get my email back.

  • CodeFoxtrot
    Brian Fontana (@CodeFoxtrot) reported

    @IAmTimCorey @Copilot @Outlook I uninstalled copilot and m365 last week, will try again in the future! I think the first biggest issue they need to fix, is why there are two copilot apps that appear to be similar, but are self-described to be different, and then you need to have two on your system. Doesn't make much sense!

    @Outlook Dear Microsoft. Your Outlook email program is performing beyond all expectations. I'm down to 50 spam emails a day. Thanks for the bang-up you do on eliminating spam.

    .@Yahoo @YahooCare Yahoo has taken over my @Outlook email for my Yahoo and domain email address and my computer guy can't fix it, except to direct me to web mail. He doesn't believe upgrading to Windows 11 will fix this. Please suggest a fix. Thank you.
