Dear Tarsh Rodda
Welcome to Microsoft Community.
Based on your description, I'd like to check something with you first:
- What is the mailbox extension you are using? (Outlook/Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo)
- Is your mailbox for company/school use or personal use?
- What version of Outlook do you use and what version of Office is it associated with? (M365, 2021.2019)
For your question, I hereby suggest you to try the following to confirm if you can solve the problem:
View offline mode:
Within Outlook in use, click Send Receive to view offline items and unclick.
Verify that the network is working:
Test whether the network is working properly by using a browser, etc., or try to switch to another network.
Repair and reinstall Office:
Click Start>Settings>Applications>Installed Applications, find Microsoft Office and select “...” Click Change, select “Quick Repair” or “Online Repair”, then follow the prompts to operate, if it fails, follow the above method to find Office, select Remove, restart your computer and re-download and install it again after completion.
Disable plug-ins:
Sometimes plug-ins can cause problems. You can try to disable all plug-ins and then enable them one by one to find out the problem plug-ins.
Open Outlook and go to File > Options > Add-ins.
Select “COM Add-ins” in the “Manage” drop-down menu and click “Go”.
Uncheck all add-ins and restart Outlook.
Reconfigure your account and create a new Outlook profile:
Within Outlook, click File, select Account Settings, select Account Settings, reconfigure mailboxes and confirm recovery. If it does not work, click File, select Account Settings, click Change Profile, restart Outlook, select Options, select New, enter a new name and click OK, then follow the screen prompts to re-add the mailbox, when finished, continue to click Change Profile, restart, select Use New Profile in the window and click Confirm.
