This article is meant for end-users who are missing emails they have received or expected to receive, or have suddenly stopped receiving emails after a specific date.

There are a lot of different reasons emails can go missing, but often it's an issue due to Email Filtering, Junk Email filtering, Deleted Items, an email Rule, or an accidental entry in the Block List. Please attempt these steps before contacting the Help Desk. 

...

1. Open a web browser and go to https://outlook.office.com 

2. Sign in with your OTC email address and password. This should bring you to your inbox.

3. Check the Filter, and make sure it is set to All.

4. Check the Filter > Sort setting, and make sure it's set to sort by Date > Newest on top. If it's set to sort by From, To, or Subject when you're expecting recent email at the top, it will appear as if email is missing.

5. Check the Junk Email folder:

   • If your emails are in here, select all that should not be Junk, right-click and select Mark as not junk

6. Check your Deleted Items folder as well, and move any items needed back to the Inbox (you can drag-and-drop or right-click > Move)

7. Check your Mail Settings for any Rules or Block List settings that could be moving emails before they reach the Inbox:

   1. Click on Settings, then search for and select Inbox rules.

4. Check your Rules. Some Rules only exist in the client and not on the server, so they would show up in Outlook but not in the OWA:

5. On the Home tab, click Rules, then click Manage Rules & Alerts

6. Check for any rules that could be filtering your email and remove or fix them.

If you still can't get your missing emails to show up in Outlook, you may want to check the Outlook Troubleshooting article.
