    @Outlook What's going on with the emails. Trying to login and it says " too many request"

  • foxy3ls Foxy3ls (@foxy3ls) reported

    @Outlook the change from Hotmail to outlook has made it IMPOSSIBLE for customers to recover their accounts! How are we supposed to know the latest email and subject we sent? That is ridiculous! Use of a recovery email or phone number should be an option! TERRIBLE PLANNING!!!

  • SusanaMNKD Susana Molica Nardo Kearney (@SusanaMNKD) reported

    @Outlook Why I am getting e- mails days later? What intruder does my e -mail have? Could you please find out,and fix it

  • terrymynott Terry Mynott (@terrymynott) reported from Liverpool, England

    @theronster @Outlook @Microsoft Totally correct. I agree with you on what your saying. The problem is as soon as something goes wrong there's nothing but a thousand four and posts and no physical person to help.

  • theronster Aaron Abernethy (@theronster) reported

    @terrymynott @Outlook @Microsoft I completely agree that the Multi Factor Authentication technical hill is a bit too steep sometimes. Let me guess: you changed your phone since you set up the Authenticator app, and now the codes don’t come through? They never warn anyone that this is an issue…

  • terrymynott Terry Mynott (@terrymynott) reported from Liverpool, England

    @theronster @Outlook @Microsoft But it's not really for my benefit when your locked out of a service you pay for. And Microsoft supply slow help. And I'm still locked out. There's no help

  • rhythm785a Rhythm (@rhythm785a) reported

    I am not able to login in my account plz help me out its showing too may request @Outlook @Microsoft

  • terrymynott Terry Mynott (@terrymynott) reported from Liverpool, England

    @Outlook how big is regret is paying for a subscription Outlook has been nothing but trouble. After a week of trying I'm going back to Gmail. Ridiculous authenticator

  • AidaNoor8 Aida Noor ✨ (@AidaNoor8) reported

    Still locked out of my @Outlook account. I’ve done everything, but it doesn’t even let me attempt the full reset. I believe this is a system-side issue, not user error. @MicrosoftHelps this needs escalation. This has gone on far too long. #Microsoft #MicrosoftSupport

  • lt91nw abril 🎞️ (@lt91nw) reported

    @Outlook hello, i can't log in to my account, it says "error 400" please help me!

  • ProteaSunflower Thelma Southwood (@ProteaSunflower) reported

    @Outlook what's up with Outlook today. No emails are sending and it's not a problem with my ISP.

  • wsophie07 Sophie W (@wsophie07) reported

    Ugh who knew trying to login to my own email would be this painful. @Outlook

  • pathintegral23 Rohit B (@pathintegral23) reported

    I am not able to log into my newly created email as it keeps giving “too many request” error on every device @Microsoft @Outlook

  • jennrhcp Diary of Always (@jennrhcp) reported

    @Outlook still having issues. Can someone advise? I need access to my emails fairly urgently for tickets that are in there with no other way to access them. This is a nightmare!

  • preetigrover_cs Preeti Grover (@preetigrover_cs) reported

    @Outlook what’s the issue with Hotmail accounts. The constant ‘too many requests’ even after 20 hours of loggin in. Need support, which is helpful and not more confusing

  • me_indian common man (@me_indian) reported

    @Outlook consistently getting "too many requests" and failing to log into hotmail account EVEN THOUGH there are no such "too many requests" Outlook simply ignores such issues and blames the user who has to try different solutions without success.

  • SefaMelamet Sefa Melamet (@SefaMelamet) reported

    @Outlook why have I suddenly stopped receiving my Outlook email? Is Microsoft down again?

  • jennrhcp Diary of Always (@jennrhcp) reported

    @Outlook your authenticator to reset my password is completely useless and never works. I am now unable to access my email I have had for about 25 years because I keep getting error messages. Your online chat tells me to be patient and try again in 24hrs, or 5 days.

  • richstone59 Richard Stone (@richstone59) reported

    @Microsoft @Outlook My hotmail account is suddenly not sending PDFs saying that they have been rejected because they are spam even though I’ve had no problem before sending the same ones. This is happening no matter who I send it to. Is there a problem at your end? Thanks.

  • Captainfan911 Captain fantastic (@Captainfan911) reported

    @Microsoft @MicrosoftHelps I'm repeatedly getting a "Too many requests" error when trying to log into my @Outlook account via chrome and outlook app. Tried waiting, clearing cache, switching networks — still locked out. Please help!
