Cheekyman81 (@1_hsm) reported@Outlook why are your teams refusing to help with my Hotmail account recovery and just asking me to fill out recovery forms again and again. This is not working. This is my own personal data which I have a right to. Please help me

Brendan R. Appel (@AppelLaw) reported@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....

Liam Donoghue (@LiamD21) reported@Outlook I am having trouble logging into my account. I changed my password on my desktop yesterday and trying to update on my phone and it won’t work. I then try and log into my desktop and it won’t let me as I have ‘tried to many times’.. this is ridiculous
-
Andy Urquhart (@PolarBearAU) reported@Outlook I need to speak with an outlook technician ASAP. Using your website to fix my issue is exhausting and terrible. I need a human, not AI.

jon brownsill (@jonbrown2021) reported@Outlook hi. I’m having some problems sending emails with pdf attached. Are there any issues at the moment? It sends some messages but not others?
-
Richard Gozinya (@browneye_winker) reported@Outlook Are there issues with Outlook on iOS 26.4? I’ve been getting delayed notifications for a couple weeks. The email will show in my inbox, but I’ll get the iOS notification a couple minutes after.

Carly Miller (@Carly_Miller7) reported@Microsoft @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps MICROSOFT SUPPORT IS TERRIBLE!!! For the past month I have been trying to contact someone for something soooooo simple. I want to delete my Microsoft 365 Business account but it will not let me due to enterprise apps I can’t remove. PLEASE HELP

ComeAsYouAreTO (@comeasyouareTO) reported@Outlook ONE login attempt is not "too many times'. Fix your ******* website already.

Jason Starr, Consumer Ventures, Awakened Foods (@JasonStarr) reportedHad 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?

Ma🇧🇷 Pē (@_mape88) reported@Outlook The site is down. We've decided we're a terrible company and we don't work nights. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
-
chakuchuri (@chakuchuri) reported@Outlook fix your app lags a lot these days. What kind of bloated app is this?
-
Matthew Tomkins (@MattTomkins8) reported@Outlook your customer support is the worst I've ever experienced.. Trying to sort a problem for the last 4 hours, spoke to 3 different agents, and gotten nowhere.
-
Citizen of Realville (@JeffWhalen989) reported@Outlook @Microsoft Why does Microsoft make it increasingly difficult to sign in to check Outlook?? If you’re trying to make it “better”, you’re failing hard. I wish you could take your email address with you to a different provider like your phone number.
