Not Receiving Emails or Verification Codes in Outlook Account

Question

Not Receiving Emails or Verification Codes in Outlook Account

Dear Microsoft Support,

I’m experiencing an issue with my Outlook email account. Initially, when I created the account, it worked fine and I was able to receive emails. However, now I am no longer receiving any emails at all, including important verification codes required to log in and access services. This has become a serious issue because this account is linked to my Microsoft Office subscription, and I am currently unable to verify or recover access.

• The Outlook account was working properly at the time of creation.
• Currently, no incoming emails are being received — not even from Microsoft (e.g., verification codes).
• This issue is preventing me from logging in securely and using my Office subscription.
• I have already checked the Spam/Junk folders, and there is nothing there.
• I am not using any mail forwarding or filtering rules that might block incoming mail.
• Please help investigate why I’m not receiving any emails in this account.
• Help me regain full access to my account and Microsoft Office subscription.

I would appreciate your urgent assistance with this.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Annie

Today, I was finally able to see a few email in my account, which wasn't possible until yesterday. However, I am still not receiving the verification code needed to log in to this account on my PC.

Hi Annie,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Support. I understand the inconvenience you're facing while not receiving emails or verification codes in your Outlook account. Please try these steps that may help you to resolve the issue:

Verify Your Account Status: Sign in to Outlook on the web to confirm that your inbox, including verification emails, appears correctly. Ensure you’re signed in with the correct account associated with your Office subscription.

Check Mailbox Storage: A full mailbox can block incoming messages. In Outlook on the web, navigate to Settings > View all Outlook settings > General > Storage to review your usage.

If near capacity, consider deleting or archiving unnecessary emails.

Review Blocked/Safe Senders Settings: Even if no rules were manually set, verify that Microsoft domains (like outlook.com and microsoft.com) aren’t accidentally blocked. In Outlook on the web, check Settings > View all Outlook settings > Junk email for any lists that might affect delivery.

Examine Connection and Sync Settings: If using the Outlook app, check for any sync issues or pending updates under File > Office Account > Update Options.

If the issue persists, feel free to contact us or you can directly talk to an agent for more assistance by contacting Microsoft Support.
