    Welcome Tamara Lucambo,

    I'm sorry to hear you're having this problem. 

    To help narrow down the cause, could you please confirm: 

    • Are you using Outlook.com (personal Microsoft account) or another email provider? 
    • When you send an email, do you receive any error message, or does it appear in Sent Items? 
    • Are you accessing your email through a web browser or the Outlook app? 

    In the meantime, please check: 

    • Whether your Junk Email folder contains the missing messages 
    • Whether your mailbox storage is full by going to Settings > General > Storage 
    • Whether any rules are moving or deleting messages under Settings > Mail > Rules 

    Also, can you tell me if you stopped receiving emails suddenly around August 10, or if this happened after a password change, device change, or account recovery? 

    Microsoft Support reference: Can't send or receive email in Outlook.com
