I am not recieving any em,ails for outlook, outlook online or outlook on the web. Is the a problem at microsoft?

Yes—Microsoft is currently experiencing an Outlook-related service incident affecting some consumer and business users, so delayed or missing email in Outlook, Outlook.com, and Outlook on the web may be part of that outage rather than a problem with your device. ^1^ ^2^

What to do now

1. Check the Microsoft service-health page for recovery updates.
2. Do not uninstall or reconfigure Outlook while the incident remains active. A Microsoft-side mail-delivery outage cannot be repaired from your computer.
3. Ask someone to send you a test message and retain any non-delivery report they receive. Messages may arrive after service recovers, but messages rejected with a non-delivery report might need to be sent again.
4. If this is a work or school account, ask your Microsoft 365 administrator to open: Microsoft 365 admin center → Health → Service health → Exchange Online.
   The Active issues Microsoft is working on section provides tenant-specific incident details and progress. Service Support and Helpdesk administrators can also view this page. ^3^

If Exchange Online is shown as degraded, Microsoft advises monitoring the incident rather than opening another service request because engineers are already working on restoration. ^4^

If email still does not arrive after Microsoft reports recovery

For a personal Outlook.com, Hotmail, Live, or MSN mailbox:

1. In Outlook.com, open Settings → General → Storage. A full Microsoft cloud storage allocation prevents sending and receiving; messages sent while it was full are bounced and cannot subsequently be recovered.
2. Check Other, Junk Email, Deleted Items, and Archive.
3. Select Filter → Sort → Date.
4. Open Settings → Mail and inspect:
   • Rules
   • Forwarding
   • Junk email → Blocked senders
5. Send another test message from a different account and check whether the sender receives an error.

These are Microsoft’s documented checks for missing Outlook.com mail. ^5^

For a business mailbox, an administrator can run Diag: Troubleshoot Email Delivery from the Microsoft 365 admin center after confirming that no active Exchange Online incident remains. The diagnostic requires a Microsoft 365 administrator account and is unavailable in certain specialized Microsoft 365 environments. ^4^

Reaching Outlook.com support

Once Outlook.com support is reachable:

1. Sign in to Outlook.com.
2. Select Help on the menu bar.
3. Enter cannot receive emails.
4. Scroll to Still need help? and select Yes.
5. Provide the approximate start time, examples of affected senders, and any non-delivery errors—without posting complete email addresses publicly. ^5^
