Hi, I'm John! I will help you with this.

To help narrow down the issue:

Can you check if the emails might be landing in the "Other" tab instead of "Focused," or if they’re hidden in another folder? Can you also test searching?

In the meantime, I recommend checking out this Microsoft support article:

• "Can't send or receive email in Outlook.com" https://support.microsoft.com/office/can-t-send-or-receive-email-in-outlook-com-d39e3341-8d79-4bf1-b3c7-ded602233642 Please scroll down and take a look at the sections titled "Can’t receive mail in Outlook.com". It walks you through some helpful steps that usually resolve this kind of issue.
• Check your mailbox settings to confirm nothing is filtering or blocking those emails.
• Make sure your Focused Inbox is turned off, so all messages show in one place. https://support.microsoft.com/office/focused-inbox-for-outlook-f445ad7f-02f4-4294-a82e-71d8964e3978
• Try adding their email addresses to your Safe Senders list to make sure Outlook doesn’t block or redirect them. https://support.microsoft.com/office/add-recipients-to-the-safe-senders-list-in-outlook-be1baea0-beab-4a30-b968-9004332336ce
