Opinion The losers at MS continue to try to fleece their users

8 Upvotes

I decided to see if Outlook at reimplemented Unified inbox, after removing it on New Outlook. I was surprised when I downloaded the app, signed in and saw "All Accounts", the way it looks on the iOS app.

Today I opened the app and saw it immediately vanish. So I went down the rabbit hole and found the Help > Go to Classic Outlook button, I downloaded it and it's asking me for a subscription.

MS knows people prefer Classic and are trying to capitalize on it.

Apparently there are plans to rollout unified inbox or something similar to the new Outlook but its a "slow" roll-out.

I am going to continue to use Mozilla's Thunderbird as are many others.

Microsoft continues to be a joke and seems to be leaning into it, no wonder they love their new, Widely adopted Microslop name.

Status: Pending Reply No checkboxes in any folder

1 Upvotes

Signed in to Hotmail.com account. No way to select any e-mail in any folder; clicking the empty space where it should be simply opens the e-mail.

Selected Help from the toolbar, Help again in yet another toolbar, went thru thru the pointless steps on the slide-out, entered 'checkboxes' and -- OMG -- they didn't have a preset solution for 'checkboxes not displayed'!! So I clicked Still Need Help? Yes. Of course then they want me to "Sign in to see support options." ... Am I not already signed in, looking at my e-mail?? How did I click Help and get the slide-out, then that I still needed help?

So I click the sign-in button, and yet another thing pops up on the other side of the screen, asking that I sign in, complete with a 'We found an account you can use here' with the account that I'm signed in on listed. I click it, the pop-up window goes white, then closes.

...

That's it. It doesn't re-sign me in, open another window with other options, the slide-out is still open, still only telling me to sign in, etc. Doing so again only repeats the process of getting no help, no support, no solutions.

Can you guess that I'm looking to close this account and all my others (which do have checkboxes) as this is typical of dealing with MS? I already closed all my Skydrive accounts, one of which, I saw today, MS had graciously reopened, signed me up, without my having to do a thing, including giving permission. Aww; so, so, so sweet. I imagine they're going to also help me by copying any e-mail attachment I receive or send to it for public viewing.

Status: Open Can't use Comcast account on Outlook

1 Upvotes

I am not an idiot, I have tried multiple ways to try to get my Comcast account and Outlook synced up. First it was just a constant sign up, now it's just not even working at all. My other comcast account works fine and no problems. But the one I use for all my personal emails and is even the account I have as my mS account as well just doesn't work anymore. So this has gotten ridiculous and I am just going to bypass outlook altogether. Two huge companies and their email systems can't work together because someone added another layer somewhere. I am done being the repairman and manager working on these things when it was supposed to help save time instead of eating it.

I had a few emails about unusual logins so to make my account more secure I had to provide some information. This included stuff like recently sent emails and the last Passwords I used and some other things. I sent it off and they wrote back and said it wasn’t enough information so now my account has been completely blocked. I’ve tried to enter another form but I haven’t heard anything. How do you get round this?

I received that my client would like to recall a message “ reply to my email” and then after that I received another email from him replying
Do you receive the recall notification first and then the email that was recalled?
