    Try these checks in order:

    1. Open the Notes folder directly in Outlook on the web.
      • In the left folder list, scroll down and select Notes.
      • If it is not visible, expand Folders or More.
      • If the folder opens but the list is blank, wait a moment and refresh the page.
    2. Try a clean browser session.
      • Open Microsoft Edge or Chrome in InPrivate/Incognito mode.
      • Sign in only to the affected account.
      • Open the Notes folder again.
      • If the notes appear there, the issue is likely related to browser cache or an extension.
    3. Check other Microsoft notes locations.
      • Open the Sticky Notes app on Windows and sign in with the same Microsoft account.
      • Open OneNote on mobile and check the Sticky Notes section.
      • This helps confirm whether the notes still exist but are not rendering in Outlook on the web.
    4. Check recovery locations.
      • Open Deleted Items and look for the missing notes.
      • If available, use Recover items deleted from this folder.
    5. If available, verify in classic Outlook for Windows.
      • Open Outlook with the same account.
      • Press Ctrl + 5 to open Notes, or go to More Apps > Notes.
      • If the notes appear there, copy the contents somewhere safe immediately.

    If the Notes folder shows a count such as 21 items but displays nothing, the folder may exist while Outlook on the web is not rendering the contents correctly. Checking in a private browser session, Sticky Notes, OneNote, or classic Outlook helps determine whether the notes are still present.

    Just to be sure we are talking about the same thing. You mean these kind of Notes? Using Outlook Web https://outlook.cloud.microsoft/ ?
