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.

    Exactly the same issues for me too. Have tried lots of suggested fixes but nothing works. Also can't contact outlook.

    Hi

    I have always been able to send emails but I didn't receive any for around 24 hours. Anyone who tried to contact me received the same message as everyone is describing on here. I was just about to contact everyone in my address book with a new email address when things started to come through again. Still don't feel particularly confident with Outlook and might take the time to switch.
