Dear Support Team,

I am experiencing an issue with the email account [Moderator note: Personally Identifiable Information removed]@amerihelps.org. Since Wednesday, I have not been receiving emails from senders outside the organization in Outlook.

Could you please investigate this issue and assist in resolving it at your earliest convenience?

I look forward to your response.

Thank you.

Kind regards,

    For Outlook on the web, start with these checks in Outlook.com / Outlook on the web:

    1. Check whether messages are landing in Other, Junk Email, Deleted Items, Archive, or any custom folders.
    2. In the message list, set Filter > Sort > Date to make sure messages are not just appearing out of order.
    3. Check whether email forwarding is enabled.
    4. Check whether any mail rules are moving, deleting, or redirecting external messages.
    5. Check Junk Email settings and blocked senders. If valid messages are in Junk, mark them as not junk.
    6. Check mailbox and Microsoft cloud storage. If storage is full, mail cannot be sent or received, and messages sent while storage was full are bounced back to the sender and are unrecoverable.
    7. If the account password was changed recently, update it. If the account was temporarily blocked because of unusual sign-in activity, unblock the Outlook.com account.
    8. Send a test message from an external account and check whether the sender receives a non-delivery report.

    If only mail from outside the organization is affected, ask an affected sender to review Sender Support in Outlook.com. Microsoft notes that blocked sending IPs can be related to sender-side reputation issues such as namespace mining.

    If these checks do not resolve it, use Help in Outlook on the web, search for the issue, then go to Still need help? and select Yes to reach support.

    Hi Muskan,

    Thank you for reaching out.

    From what you've shared, the AI response seems to cover the most common troubleshooting steps for this type of issue. Since you are not receiving emails from senders outside the organization, I'd recommend trying the suggested steps first, such as checking if the emails are in the junk folder and checking whether there is any rule that moves or forwards the emails.

    If the issue persists, you may also want to contact your IT administrator and ask them to engage Microsoft Support if the issue remains unresolved after completing the recommended troubleshooting steps, as further investigation may be required.

    For guidance on how to request support, please share this link with your admin: Get support - Microsoft 365 admin. 

    If you are unsure who your IT administrator is, you can refer to this official Microsoft guide for assistance: How do I find my Microsoft 365 admin? - Microsoft Support

    I hope your issue gets resolved soon. Any updates would be greatly appreciated.
