    Hi @Alen Cortez,

    Thank you for posting you question on Microsoft Q&A Community. We're happy to help you with your concern.

    To help us narrow down the issue with the Classic Outlook app not sending or receiving emails timely, could you please clarify a few things:

    1/ Is this affecting all emails or only specific senders/recipients?

    Are both sending and receiving delayed, or just one?

    2/ When did the issue start?

    Is it happening consistently or intermittently?

    3/ Are you using Outlook with an Exchange account, Microsoft 365, or another provider?

    Is this happening on one device or multiple?

    4/ Are there any noticeable delays in other apps or internet connectivity?

    Are you seeing any error messages or sync warnings?

    5/ Have you tried restarting Outlook or the device?

    Have you checked for pending updates or run a repair?

    Once we have this information, we’ll be better equipped to investigate and assist you further.

    Looking forward to your response.

    If you are using the classic Outlook desktop client, then try to check this issue via Outlook Web App to see whether the problem still occurs.
