    @Microsoft @Office @Outlook Why does Outlook for Mac always have non-stop issues? Why is my desktop app unable to Sync or connect for hours, sometimes even the entire day, multiple times per month? There's some MAJOR issues inside Outlook for Mac OS and it's not just mine.

    I’ve had awful luck with @outlook the past week. Every time I log in, I get told there have been too many failed attempts and I’m forced to reset my password. It makes the website feel very insecure, a major security issue.

    @retrobike_c16 @Outlook Cut down your image size in paint or preview in Mac. Then make the signature in word. Only way I could get our team to have consistent signatures

    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!

    @Outlook I think everyone who has a complaint about Microsoft (because I can not be the only one), and their lack of customer service and related productivity issues should get together and let’s Sue them. I have paid multiple times for this ****

    @Outlook I’m a sole global admin fully locked out of my business account. The phone number allocated to my case has issues receiving calls. I desperately need this sorted so I can work. Is there anything more I can do, at the very least to change the phone number?

    It seems extremely likely the US is experiencing either (a) a series of cyber attacks or (b) basic web infrastructure issues. Both @gmail and @Outlook have been down in the same week.

    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.

    @Outlook - Just now received an email sent to me on January 22, 2026 at 5:37 p.m. It arrived 1/28/2026 at 10:08 a.m. You claimed to have "fixed" your issues on 1/22 - clearly that was a lie. You had ONE JOB....
