My outlook inbox is not receiving emails.

Every time somebody sends me an email, he gets the following message: "The recipient's email system isn't accepting messages now. Please try resending this message later or contact the recipient directly".

I need my inbox badly. What is the problem? Is this a Microsoft glitch or bug?

    How long has this been going on? Are messages from all senders failing or just some?

    It could be a server-side problem unless your mailbox is new or there were recent changes that were misconfigured.

    Are you using a Microsoft 365 business account?
