    I take it you are referring to your e-mail account? Which e-mail program are you using?

    Hi @Susan Smith 

    Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum. 

    To help narrow down the issue, could you confirm whether it is related to Outlook? If so, please let us know which version you are using: Classic Outlook or the New Outlook experience. 

    Here’s how to check and adjust your offline status depending on the version: 

    In Classic Outlook: 
    -Go to the ribbon and select Send/Receive, then choose Work Offline.  
    -If you are currently offline, click Work Offline again to reconnect. 
    User's image In New Outlook: 
    -Click the gear icon to open Settings > General > Offline >Toggle the option for Enabling offline email, calendar, and people > click Save.
