Have not received an email from my hotmail account since 6:00 a.m. CDT this morning -- just over 5 hours now.

Can log into Hotmail and look at old messages. That's all. No sending, no receiving.

I just called customer service because I too am unable to email tech support, it times out. They are doing system maintenance and assured me that all the incoming emails I haven't been able to receive will be queued until they are done. I dont know how to ever know if I received all the emails that were sent to me during this outage, but it's frustrating. I thought it was weird that I hadn't received any emails in a 5 hour span.

As of this morning, I am not receiving any emails sent to me from ANYONE (not even people in my Contacts). I checked my blocked lists and that is OK. There are just a few email addresses there but they are not email addresses for people that are sending me mail.

HELP!!! I have important information being emailed to me and I am not receiving anything!!

I am done with Hotmail, Live, MSN and Microsoft in General. I have my hotmail account for 10 years and as of last week no one can send me emails. NOBODY! I bought your computers, your software, your xbox and you cant even help with this problem! I am an apple fan now, down with Microsoft and there poor customer service!

I have notice I have not been getting my e-mails
and Yes, It is very frustrating.

Because, I have business account and my college e-mail I us for school

I went to blocked list and everything else to try to fix it. Plus, tried to contact Hotmail Help and can not get in to send them a message

Just how long will it will take to fix this problem

Hotmail is the WRONG service to be using for a business. Why is using Hotmail for my business such a bad idea?

Thank you 'Me' - I had the same problem in that was not receiving emails to my MSN live account (which I was having forwarded to my hotmail account). Read this link and realised that my MSN live account was on the blocked senders list! (I did not put it there).

Now I urgently need to know what msgs have been automatically deleted and how I can retrieve them, as they may be very important :-/ Please someone Help....

I have been sending e-mails from work to my HOTMAIL account for several years, and since yesterday NO ONE from my office can send any mail to ANY HOTMAIL account. To me this indicates that Microsoft changed something.

I have4 hotmaill accounts all forwarded to a 5th!Was not receiving any mails at all! When I looked into my blocked senders, all accounts that were being forwarded were in the blocked list. Im not saying that hotmail put them their but i definately didn't, why would I block myself? Either way, removed them from the blocked listand put them on my safe list and all is well

I have a similar story to these other poor souls...
I have used Hotmail for many moons now and only recently are no longer receiving emails from a friend of mine.
He will often send an email to many people and the only time I know it has been sent is when someone else 'replies to all' to the message then suddenly I'm presented with a conversation that has been going on for quite a few messages.
I have looked at my safe list and his email is most definately in there and I have absolutely noone on my blocked list.
I just can't figure it out and it's stupidly frustrating that I seem to missing so much.
And what's worse, like the article said, there appears to be very little (if nothing you can do about it).

Similar problem but with a slight twist. Sometimes an email gets through to the recipient and sometimes it doesn't. Only know of one recipient at one business. Messages to others at the same business seem to get through OK. It's not a free account it's a paid MSN account.

For a month now, I have not been receiving emails PERIOD! I have had a hotmail account for 4 years, but this is ridiculous. I feel blind and lost. Who knows what I've missed? I don't want to use my school email for everything, so I am going to drop hotmail and get a gmail account, which I heard, is more reliable. Frustrating!!!!!

I am not receiving any e-mails at all not even junk mails which I used to - I am not too happy about my new situation - I usually received e-mails from hsn.com and qvc.com not nothing. Please tell me how I can changed from hotmail to regular.

I had this same problem for a while, a good friend of mine was sending me emails which i never recieved however he could receive my emails, i found after a lot of searching that he had infact been blocked which was not something i did myself...i used the following steps which solved my problem even though i wasnt aware this person had been blocked, Go to inbox select options on the right hand of the screen, select more options, then under the junk e-mail selection select safe and blocked senders then select blocked senders check to see if the person ur not getting mail from is listed, if they are simply click on there name and select remove from list...i hope this solves ur problem ..it did for me!

Hi, I've can no longer get emails from my dad, it doesn't matter if he replies to one I've sent him or if he sends me a new email, or even if I'm cc'd in - everyone else gets emails from him and I THINK I'm getting emails from everyone else ok just not from my dad. I've checked he's in my safe list. He gets no notification that emails haven't reached me. I really don't know what to do!

The other thing to consider is that sometimes things just "get lost in the mail." Seriously. I've been doing email for work etc. for nearly 2 decades now and periodically messages just disappear in the ether. No reason (and some of these happened long before spam filters etc.), so now when a message is important I either cc myself (so I can see it come back to me and feel somewhat assured it also got to the sender) or better, request a read receipt so I KNOW it got to the sender, or both. If I don't see my message come back to me (when I've cced myself) or get a read receipt in some reasonable period of time, I send it again, just to be sure. When it's business and the files are important, you can't take chances.

I also check in with clients etc. who I think may be sending me things and I haven't seen them when I should, for the same reason.

It may be spam filters, but sometimes it's just the electronic equivalent of bad sorting in the mail room (or worse, a lost mail bag). Which also happens with snail mail more than you care to think about.

Cheers,
Lelani

I too have e mails that go missing, I thought that my ex boss had got someone to hack into my business email address, but i am still waiting for my ISP to get back to me, is it possible for someone to hack into an e mail address, and put a fliter in, and let some types of mail get through.

Hi Leo,

I had a similar problem a while back. All of my friends could not receive emails from my Dishmail account. I received no "bounce" and they never received my emails. I contacted Dishmail and they reported that Yahoo had blacklisted them as an email provider that sent too many spam emails or something along that vein. They said that they were negotiating with Yahoo and recommended that I contact Yahoo as well. I did contact Yahoo and after several complaints to them about this problem along with Dishmail's persistence, Yahoo finally lifted their ban. So the user might want to have his father check with his ISP to see if it's a similar scenario.
