Sending, receiving, and organizing email in Outlook.com
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?
