    Try these steps in order:

    1. If Outlook.com will not open at all, use the Microsoft account sign-in helper.
    2. If the account is blocked because of unusual sign-in activity, use the Sign-in Helper to unblock it.
    3. Check whether Microsoft cloud storage or mailbox storage is full. If storage is full, Outlook.com cannot send or receive email, and messages sent during that time can be bounced back to the sender and are unrecoverable.
    4. If Outlook.com opens but mail is missing, check these areas:
      • Other tab
      • Junk Email folder and Junk Email settings
      • Deleted Items, Archive, and any custom folders
      • Filter > Sort > Date
      • Email forwarding settings
      • Email rules
    5. If a specific sender’s messages are missing and there is no visible error, ask the sender to check Sender Support in Outlook.com.
    6. If Outlook.com still does not open or the problem continues after the sign-in helper and account checks, use Outlook.com support:
      • In Outlook.com, select Help on the menu bar and enter the issue.
      • If self-help does not solve it, scroll to Still need help? and select Yes.
      • If sign-in is not possible, use the support option provided here: here.
