Outlook

I dread having to use my hotmail account. The email is divided into Focused and 'Other,' but all the important emails is in the 'Other' section. When I click on that section, it can take up to ten minutes to load. I've missed important government job notices because of how slow this website is.

I purchased Outlook 365 about six months ago. Starting about one week ago, the program started freezing up! I called Microsoft support and they could not help! The tech said he needed to take a break and would call me back. I was very pleasant and did not offend him. He NEVER called me back!

After about two hours, I called back on the support line and waited about 30 minutes to get another tech. I explained my situation to him, and the line went dead. Of course, he did not call me back either.

Would never use this program in the future and will be looking for an alternative!

Unable to update. Constantly dealing with issues. Many times unable to use it for important purposes. Nothing but problems from day 1

I spent a solid 20 minutes trying to do the CAPTCHA required to make an account and even if I got them all correct, it would fail me at the last one and give me more every time.

It is completely unintuitive, and like most of Microsoft product, inferior to others. Some things that have not been inferior, are Microsoft word, Teams, and Windows (but this is sort of a monopoly anyway).

Microsoft outlook is just the only available well known office program that people have become used to through work related exploration. It gives people the false sense that it is intuitive, when it is not intuitive at all. Example: The signature requires html coding, instead of attaching the same tool in word ("wrap text"). Why is this the case? Probably the same reason why Edge, Explorer, Bing, and other Microsoft programs are inferior. Incompetency and market choke-hold.

Way to go Outlook. I can't use my f-in email.

I tried to send an email today and it wants me to verify my account. So outlook pulls up this puzzle for me to solve to "verify" my account. Ok. I've done these puzzles before...

TOUCH THE MOUSE THAT CAN'T REACH THE CHEESE

Well now. That's new. Oh but wait... there's a time limit. And if the time limit goes out, I have to restart the puzzle entirely. So I have to quickly look at 6 different mazes, and figure out quickly, what mouse can't reach the damn cheese, before the time goes out. Oh, and it makes me do this puzzle ten separate times. And I better choose correctly those 10 times cause if I miss one... one mistake... I have restart.

Well, after 20 tries where I guess I keep getting one or two wrong and having to restart, I decided to stop and give my email a break, cause now I CAN'T SEND EMAILS UNTIL I PERFECTLY SOLVE THIS STUPID PUZZLE.

The puzzle itself isn't really hard. It's the time limit that get's you for you have 6 mazes to look at and figure out and you have to do it 10 times to 'verify'. I'm no stranger to Captcha verification stuff, but this is by far the dumbest one I've seen and considering I can't send an email until I nail it perfectly, it's extremely annoying.

Fell for a China company pretending to sell quality clothing by posting photos of "actual" quality clothing. Nothing fits properly, wrong color, extremely cheap materals. Should have known better, live & learn!

So if you read my review about Microsoft you know what I am talking about.
But you need to be careful whatever you do do not sign up for Microsoft promotional emails because of some reason they temporarily susped your account!
By the way this has happened to me twice, beware when making a new account!
Buy the way you also got to not temporarily suspend your own account(trust me this has happened to me before by accident) take my advice seriously until I say they fixed this security issue I contacted them bye email but never herd back (only one would work I tried others but it said it could not reach inbox or something like that).
Beware, be careful please. And if you don't have a phone number and you created it without it asking for one beware.

Ordered charging leads some 12 days ago no sign and to rub salt into the wound they sent an email asking if I was happy with the purchase, when I attempted to send a reply what a surprise, it wouldn't allow me to log in and send my review!

Sorry but unlike other reviewers hotmail does not get my vote. The simple reason was because I signed up on hotmail and one day while trying to get on to my account I found out that the site was not accepting my password. It was simply frustrating trying again and again

I contacted the customer support and used an alternative email for them to contact me and nothing happened and they never did contact me. For me hotmail is the worst and I am not going back with hotmail ever again. I will use another email site but I guarantee you it won't be hotmail that's for sure.
