### 1. ** Check your Internet connection **

• - If your iPhone is cellular, make sure you're connected to a strong Wi-Fi network.
• - Try loading the website in Safari to make sure the link works.

### 2. ** iOS Update ***

- Sometimes older iOS versions can cause compatibility issues. Go to **Settings > General > Software Update** and make sure your iPhone is running the latest version of iOS.

### 3. ** Check Email Account Settings**

- On your iPhone, go to ** Settings > Mail > Accounts **.

- Select the **Hotmail/Outlook*** account and check the settings. Make sure the * Mailbox switch is turned on.

- You can also try removing and adding the account by clicking ** Remove Account ** and adding it back.

### 4. ** Check Outlook Server Status **

- Sometimes the problem can be on Microsoft servers. Check if there is an outage affecting Hotmail/Outlook by visiting the [Outlook.com Status Page](https://outlook.live.com/).

- You can also check Twitter or other forums for reports of more widespread issues.

### 5. **Clear the Mail app cache**

- Close the Mail app and restart it to reset the email app.

- You can also try pressing the Home button twice (or 1 on a new iPhone) and pressing the Messages app to force quit the app.

### 6. ** Reset mail settings (IMAP/SMTP) ***

- If you are using custom mail settings (not the default Outlook settings), make sure your IMAP and SMTP settings are correct:

- ** IMAP (incoming):** * *

- Server: `imap-mail.outlook.com`

- Port: 993

Encryption: SSL

- ** SMTP (outgoing):**

- Server: `smtp-mail.outlook.com`

- Port: 587

- Encryption: TLS

- Make sure your username and password are entered correctly.

### 7. ** Check email sync**

- Go to ** Settings > Mail > Accounts > Get New Data** and make sure the Push option is enabled for your Hotmail account.

- If Push is not available, make sure you have the search setup correctly (e.g. every 15 minutes).

### 8. ** Storage Space ***

- Make sure you have enough storage space on your iPhone. To check, go to ** Settings > General > iPhone Security **.

### 9. ** Delete and Re-add the Account **

- Sometimes deleting and re-adding your Hotmail account can fix syncing issues:

- Go to ** Settings > Mail > Accounts ** and select your Hotmail account from there click ** Delete Account **.

- Select ** Add Account > Microsoft Exchange ** Re-enter your account and enter your Hotmail credentials.

### 10. **Update your email app (if applicable)**

- If you use another email app (such as Outlook or another email client), upgrade to the latest version in the App Store.

### 11. **Check for blocked or stuck emails**

- Sometimes emails can get stuck in your inbox or blocked by filters. Log in to your Hotmail account using a web browser to check if there are any issues with filters, blocked senders, or a large mailbox size.
