Fix Outlook Not Sending or Receiving Emails – Step-by-Step Guide (2025) Facing issues with Outlook not sending or receiving emails ?...
If you're experiencing issues with Outlook not sending or receiving emails, you're not alone.
Many Office 365 and Outlook users encounter delays or complete sync failures often due to configuration or server-side issues.
To resolve 90% of these common problems, consider the following steps:
1.
**Check Your Internet Connection:** Ensure it's stable and verify Outlook and Exchange server status on the Microsoft Service Status page.
2.
**Verify Server Settings:** Incorrect server details cause most send/receive errors.
Check IMAP (993), POP3 (995), and SMTP (587) settings in Outlook and ensure SSL/TLS encryption is used.
3.
**Disable Problematic Add-ins:** Start Outlook in Safe Mode (Windows + R, type outlook /safe).
If emails work, disable any problematic add-ins via File → Options → Add-ins.
4.
**Repair Corrupted Files:** Use Microsoft's Inbox Repair Tool (SCANPST.EXE) to fix corrupted data files.
Locate and run the tool to scan and repair your .pst or .ost files.
5.
**Rebuild Your Outlook Profile:** If problems persist, rebuild your Outlook profile through the Control Panel, reconfiguring it with updated settings.
