Outlook Reviews in March 2025: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

I have had issues with outlook on… everything (?)

I have had issues with outlook on literally every single device that has been in my possession in the last 4 years. Today, after mails in an important folder vanished after moving the folder, I realized how bad my opinion of outlook as a platform has developed. It used to be fine. But now, wow. Missing emails, email delays, confusing interface, god-awful threads, looping authenticates, issues with login, issues with login, and issues with login. 1 star.

Stupid authentication loops locked me out and just awful layout

The daily volume of spam to my inbox and junk mail is crazy. Microsoft must have stopped managing/ filtering the spam because it only got bad a couple of months ago, before that I had none. Now it's a bad product to use; I have to manually delete them everyday.

I used to really like Outlook

I used to really like Outlook, the interface is clean and easy to use. But the past year I've had so many issues. Everything from emails not loading properly, tons of junk mail even after I mark it as junk, some emails I'm receiving are coming in twice. Even when pulling up Outlook website, getting a message saying the link is bad...what?
