some emails in outlook/hotmail not arriving

This issue can happen due to several reasons. Firstly, check your spam/junk folders to see if the emails are incorrectly marked as spam. Make sure the sender is not in your blocked email addresses list. Check your email rules to see if messages are being redirected to another folder. The issue can also be with the sender's server, which may fail to deliver messages. If you've checked all of these and the issue persists, there could be more complex issues related to server problems or the status of your account.

Can’t access my hotmail account

If you can't access your Hotmail account, it might be due to forgetting your password or your account being locked because of several wrong password attempts. In both cases, you'll need to recover your account. 1. Go to the account recovery page. 2. Enter your email address and click on "Next". 3. Choose the verification method (email or text), and then fill in the full email address or last four digits of your phone number to confirm. 4. You'll receive a security code. Enter the code in the field provided on the recovery page. 5. Next, reset your password. If you've tried these steps and still can't get into your account, it's possible that someone else is using it. In this case, select "I think someone else is using my Microsoft account".

How to email or talk to a real person at hotmail

Hotmail (now Outlook.com) does not provide a direct email or phone line that you can speak with a support representative. If you need assistance, it is recommended that you use their official help and support system which is available online. You can ask questions, troubleshoot problems, and find answers to common issues. If necessary, you may have a chance to live chat with a virtual agent to help resolve your issues. For specific account-related issues, we recommend you go through the account recovery process or report the issue via the Security Support page.

Hi, I can't get into my hotmail account as when I log in it says my account is blocked and when I request a verification code it either doesn't show up or it does but for some reason does not work. Is there any way you can help?

We understand your situation, and here's a potential fix. When an account is blocked, Microsoft often asks for additional verification. If you're not receiving the code, make sure to double-check the contact details you've provided- it's possible there could be a typo or it might have been sent to an old phone number or email address. If you are receiving the verification code but it's not working, make sure to enter it exactly as it appears in the message. Remember, these codes are usually time-sensitive. If you're still having trouble, consider resetting your password as a possible solution. We hope this resolves your problem!
