Sending, receiving, and organizing email in Outlook.com
Since the issue affects only some messages and the self-help steps have already been completed, the next supported step is to contact Microsoft Support directly for a live support session.
Use this path in Outlook.com support:
- Open Outlook.com support by selecting Help on the menu bar and entering the issue.
- If the self-help results do not resolve it, scroll to Still need help? and select Yes.
- If sign-in is also a problem, use the separate support entry point provided there.
- A support agent can then review the issue further.
Before starting the chat, prepare these details so the case can move faster:
- That only some emails are missing, not all mail.
- That messages from an important sender, including a manager, are affected.
- That rules, filters, forwarding, Junk Email, and Focused/Other checks were already completed.
- Whether the missing messages are from specific senders only.
- Whether those senders receive any bounce-back or rejection notice.
If a sender’s messages are specifically not arriving, one documented check is to review blocked senders, rules, and junk settings. If everything there is already correct, support review is the appropriate next step.
