    @Dappa_94 @Outlook It’s outlook itself, I’ve tried everything to get it sorted and you just distract the people complaining to useless solutions what do nothing. Worse server in the world, this has been happening for months

    @Outlook Hey, I’ve tried all this, the issue we have is the number attached to my mum’s account is an old mobile number, meaning she can’t access the verification code, how can we navigate around this? We do know the password now just can’t get the access code?

    @gmail Gmail for Android. The issue is especially prevalent if you delete an email from the notification shade itself. It keeps on popping back up again and again and again. That too, just for the @Outlook mail

    @ryanyates1990 @Outlook If they could just turn the clock back 20 years and fix new email notification badges I would be thrilled. Same goes for teams chat.

    @Outlook seeing serious issues with Outlook this week across multiple tenants and clients. Seems to be the Cloud Signature update corrupting OSTs along with many other performance and reliability issues. This can't be coincidence. What's going on?

  • AnjMarieD Anj Marie (@AnjMarieD) reported

    @Outlook I have been trying to create a new email and the image selection to create a new account is not working. Spent the last 10 minutes going through it. You just lost a customer. I am going to @Google. I am a O365 customer, you may have just lost all my business. #Microsoft
