Outlook is not showing new email

Try these first

  1. Check you are connected to the internet: open any website.
  2. Look at the bottom of the Outlook window. If it says "Working offline", click Send / Receive then Work Offline to switch it back.
  3. Check the Other tab if your inbox has Focused and Other.
  4. Close Outlook fully and open it again.
  5. Check your email on your phone or at outlook.office.com. If the email is there, the problem is only on this computer.
