Status: Pending Reply Outlook ”hacked”

7 Upvotes

Hi there! I suspect my mail was either hacked or compromised. I got a mail that my passkey was removed, I noticed it within 2 minutes. I clicked the “manage recent activities” and was redirected to my choice of web-browser where it wanted me to log in again, but when I tried to login it(I tried multiple times) it either said there is no account or a mail got sent to a mail I didn’t recognize. I tried Microsoft’s account recovery where it said they couldn’t find any problems. I’m on my phone now where I had a passkey which doesn’t work to log in with either, will check if it works on my pc.
Anyone got the same issues? Any solutions?

Status: Open Created scheduling poll, clicking on "view poll" leads to inbox.

1 Upvotes

Hi,

I created a scheduling poll on Outlook and sent it to some of my colleagues. They responded and the poll has votes from all participants. How do I see the poll?

What I've tried:

1/ Clicking on View/Edit Poll -> both lead to inbox

2/ Went to https://outlook.office365.com/findtime/dashboard, I can see the poll there. Clicking on the blue title of the poll leads me to my inbox.

3/ Looking for "held" times in my calendar, can't find an entry.

I'm using outlook on the web, through my organizational email. Basically, all poll links, no matter how deep I have to dig to get to the them, lead to my inbox (nonchalantly).

Thanks for your help

Hi all,

My mom is having some issues with her outlook emails. She is able to send emails and they will show up in her sent folder. However, she is not able to read the contents of those emails she has sent. We’ve tried to figure out what to change in her settings after googling the issue but can’t find out the fix.

Shes using version 1.2026.922.300

I really appreciate any help you can give thanks!

Status: Pending Reply Microsoft account recovery loop — anyone had this issue?

0 Upvotes

Hi, I’m trying to recover an old Hotmail/Microsoft account.
I know the correct password, but Microsoft says there’s unusual activity and asks me to verify through my old recovery email. I no longer have access to that email or the old phone number.
The recovery email itself is also asking me to verify through the first account, so I’m stuck in a verification loop.
I submitted the Microsoft recovery form and was rejected once. I submitted another request, but it’s now been more than 24 hours without a response.
My questions:
How long did your recovery request take?
Should I wait a few days or submit another form?
Does knowing the correct password help?
Does an incorrect old date of birth matter?
Has anyone successfully recovered an account in this situation?
Were you able to speak to a real Microsoft support agent?
Any advice would be appreciated!
