𝙈𝙞𝙢 (@Mari0am) reported@Outlook your services are not working, Ican’t get back any of my emails and YOU don’t have contact support. What am I supposed to do now?

Blue Diamond (@BlueDiamond305) reported@Outlook dear ********, your new version is ******* terrible 😣 new doesn’t always mean better *******. Classic was perfectly fine the way it was!
-
Brian Fontana (@CodeFoxtrot) reported@IAmTimCorey @Copilot @Outlook I uninstalled copilot and m365 last week, will try again in the future! I think the first biggest issue they need to fix, is why there are two copilot apps that appear to be similar, but are self-described to be different, and then you need to have two on your system. Doesn't make much sense!

mother lee. (@heylee824) reportedthe search bar is not working the way it should @Outlook 😔

Keegan Lanier (@keeganlanier) reportedAnyone using @Outlook on iOS having massive issues lately? Emails looking like they’ve been sent to only delete the message and return a blank email to draft without sending the original email? Emails ready to send, but the exit and send buttons won’t work. The app isn’t frozen, but you have to force close the app and hope the latest draft saved all changes. This is only happening on iOS to my knowledge

Florian Bador (@florianbador) reported@Azure : Remove this insanity of #AuthenticatorApp! I created a new biz account for some emailing, put the debit card, then the login forces to setup that stupid app, but I don't own a smartphone (and won't borrow anyone's). I tried to call support but got disconnected, calling again leads nowhere. At this point I could not even cancel the membership because I cannot login... Madness! Just let the customer decides what they want as 2FA!!! They know better, you control-freaks. So what am I supposed to do at this point? Cannot login, cannot setup auth app, cannot even cancel because cannot login, cannot open a case online because cannot login, and no "Use another way" option to skip this silly Auth-App setup, and no Desktop App either since I run exclusively on Linux.... Why so complicated??? Keep It Simple Stupid. @Microsoft @Outlook

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?
-
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.

When I try to log into one of the accounts, the verification code notification keeps being sent to the other work account instead. please help me resolve this issue so I can access the correct account?
-
suckafree (@xanaxanadu_) reported@Outlook How am I supposed to reset my password or recover my account when the phone number option isn’t working. I keep getting an error that reads “this method is not working right now”. I can’t log in to get any help or support and the Get Help page does not address my issue.
