  The new @Outlook is terrible, you can’t even respond to original emails sent to you if someone that was cc’d sends a response to that email and you press reply as well it will never go back to the original email it will only respond to the person that responded. Terrible update

  Microsoft has to stop making so many changes to its menus in Outlook. It increases irritation and cognitive load too much if people constantly are having to track down where a command is, such as how to insert an emoji in an email. @Outlook #microsoft #microsoftoutlook

  @Outlook the new Outlook desktop app needs to go back to the drawing board. It is terrible and does not work as it should. Ya need to build a Native App and not all these web apps with terrible function. This and @MicrosoftTeams new desktop app are bad.

  @Outlook Outlook won't accept the images, even though they are very small. I'm wasting a lot of time. It's an incredibly primitive issue.

  @Outlook How is your app so terrible and preventing junk/phishing emails going into peoples main inbox? Useless and the worst at it. You must be making something from it.

  @thefrostlord @Outlook Correct passwords are not being accepted by Outlook: "You've tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect account or password."

  @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps Your private reply did not answer my question or help resolve my issue. I need a clear and direct answer to the question I sent you via DM. Please provide a direct answer instead of referring me to general support articles or troubleshooting steps.

  @Outlook I liked Outlook Express, BUT, I just can’t stand Outlook in it’s present configuration. It has to be slimmed down and more useful before I’ll use it. I like MS, but I don’t like Outlook at all…just way too complicated.
