Hotmail not receiving all emails (2024)

Anonymous

My Hotmail account is missing many emails, including important ones that I know the senders have emailed me and emails from senders who successfully emailed me in the past.

I checked junk email folder - no missed emails are there.
I checked rule - I have not created any rules.
I checked sweep - I have not created any rules.
I checked forwarding - I have not enable it at all.
I checked junk mail setting - I did not block anybody unnecessarily; I don't know who will email me in the future so I can't put everybody in the safe list.
I checked storage - I have only used 46%.

I tried accessing the Hotmail account both through a browser on a computer and my phone (gmail app). It is the same - emails are not received. I cleared the cache of my devices already. It did not help.

I do not know how many more emails I have been missing or how to fix it. Can anybody help please? Thank you.

    I have the exact same issue since April 9 noon, seems I can receive emails and send out email to someone, but once I add an address on cc, the email won't go through the serer. Especially, I won't send any email to myself, all of them will be in the 'sent' folder but never arrive in "inbox"

    There’s some news…

    It may be awhile - Microsoft is investigating but have not updates the status page or said when they expect it will be fixed. https://portal.office.com/ServiceStatus

    I don’t see any issue flagged there for outlook, only something for Teams.. It’s incredible that we cannot raise this issue to Microsoft as we are many impacted by this issue+
