Hotmail not receiving all emails (2024)

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.

    No nothing with me, still showing as sent, not turning up the other end.

    I keep receiving the odd email randomly, but then I try to get someone to email me to test, and they get a notification that my email address isn't receiving emails.

    Yeh so I can receive their emails too, but when I send it to them they don’t get it and shows in sent box. It’s so weird cos it’s never happened before.
