## Missing an Important E-mail? We have you covered.

### **Places to Check for Missing Emails:**

1. **Inbox (Search Bar)**  
   - Use the **search bar** at the top of Outlook or Outlook Web to search for sender name, subject, or keywords.  
   - Double-check sorting (e.g., newest to oldest) and filters (e.g., unread only).
2. **Junk Email Folder**  
   - Messages flagged as spam are often routed here.
3. **Quarantine**  
   - Visit: [https://security.microsoft.com/quarantine](https://security.microsoft.com/quarantine)  
   - Microsoft Defender might hold it if flagged as phishing or malware.
4. **Other or Focused Inbox**  
   - If **Focused Inbox** is enabled, check both the “Focused” and “Other” tabs in Outlook.
5. **Rules (Inbox Management Rules)**  
   - Go to **Settings > Mail > Rules** (in Outlook Web) or **File > Manage Rules & Alerts** (desktop).  
   - Check if an inbox rule moved or deleted the message.
6. **Deleted Items**  
   - The email might have been accidentally deleted.
7. **Clutter or Archive**  
   - Rarely used now, but if Clutter is still enabled, check that folder.  
   - Also check the **Archive** folder.
8. **Blocked Senders List**  
   - Go to **Settings > Mail > Junk email** (Outlook Web).  
   - Make sure the sender isn’t accidentally blocked.
