I'm using Microsoft Outlook in my office as a way of communication to other branches we have.
Lately, I was wondering I didn't receive any e-mails for 2 days already.
I can send emails, but then I cannot receive incoming e-mails.
I have received several calls saying that they e-mailed me but yet I didn't receive any.
Why is that so?
What do I do to receive e-mails again?
Hello Alfred
Did you make sure there are no emails in the junk email folder, your incoming emails might have gone there for some reason.
It could also be the work of virus. Make sure you have an anti-virus and a firewall on your computer. Windows Firewall is alright but make sure it is turned on. Microsoft Outlook is vulnerable to attack. Some viruses use emails to spread and infect many systems as possible.
If you are using Microsoft exchange server email account there could be something wrong with your server.Â
Check whether others in the network has the same problem.

Microsoft Outlook allows you to send and receive email messages. This software is used preferably by most ISP subscribers. The features of this software is amazing allowing you to customized folders and files.
What needs to be done to enjoy Microsoft Outlook is to configure the settings, set-up incoming and outgoing server information. Most error encountered by Microsoft Outlook is the incoming email messages.
However, you should get an error messages regardless what happens. But in your case, there is none -meaning there is no error messages pop-up.
The best steps to do is to check your email quota if it exceeded the allowable storage. Most Internet Service Provider has limitation on how many MB of email messages that you are allowed to store in webmail server.
Log-in to webmail and check your email quota/limitations. You will notice that webmail quota reaches to 100% mailbox capacity. Delete some email messages in inbox, Outbox, sent items, draft, deleted folder and other saved documents that is good enough to decrease email quota.
After you delete some email messages and quota has decreased from 100% to allowable mailbox capacity, you need to activate the Delivery on Microsoft Outlook.
Go to Tools, Account Settings
Highlight your Account Name and click Change
Click on More Settings and go to Advanced tab
Look for Delivery and check the box on the following;
Check the box on Leave a copy of messages on server
Check the box on Delete messages on numbers of days you want
You can also check the box on Delete messages on webmail server when email is deleted from deleted items.

A Microsoft Outlook profile allows Outlook to keep track of settings for your Outlook email accounts. Outlook users only need one profile, even with several email accounts in Outlook. However, if there are multiple users on a computer, if there is a need to keep separate profiles (such as a home account and business profile) or if Outlook is corrupted, a new profile may be required.
Try to Configure also your Microsoft Outlook, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. Copy and paste, or type the following command in the Open box, and then press ENTER: control panel
3. Open the Mail Setup dialog box: If Control Panel is in either Large icons or Small icons view, click Mail. The Mail Setup dialog box appears. If Control Panel is in Category view, under View by, click to select either Large icons or Small icons, and then click Mail. The Mail Setup dialog box appears.

5. Select the appropriate server type for the email account. "Exchange Server" is mostly used by businesses, so this might apply to a work email account. The most common type of email server is "POP3." If you are using a service such as Yahoomail, this would be the server to select. Email addresses provided by an internet service provider, such as your DSL or cable company, are usually "IMAP" accounts. If you are unsure, check with your email provider.
6. Click "Next" after entering the server type. Enter the settings and other information. Finish the wizard and close the Control Panel. A new Microsoft Outlook profile will be added to the computer.
