Not receiving emails after storage issues

This is outrageous! I have a flight tomorrow and need urgent access to my mailbox asap and even after paying (which i did), I understand from this thread that I’i won’t get my messages before 2 days so I’m screwed. Will Microsoft pay for my flight if I miss it? Definitely switching to Google 👋

Same problem! Storage is not full. Until I read robin_75 I did not know I still needed to wait 2 days. Frustrating!!!

Seems like they intentionally scaled back some people email storage without any notice.

I've literally just had the same issue. All of a sudden I've hit a limit and now can't get any emails come through. I've upgraded my storage so I'm going to wait 2 days to see if they start coming through. Bloody nightmare.

I’m experiencing the same problem. Just found an article on their website advising as of February they were changing how storage works. The issue isn’t my email it’s data stored across other Microsoft apps like OneDrive, etc.

Unfortunate this is impacting email which has 14 out of 15gb available for use.

Because of this issue i lost my spot for a university masters. Because for some god forsaken reason if my onedrive is full i cannot recieve mail. And when i cleared up space. I do not get the mails that were sent to me in the period when the storage was full. Even tough it was just 1 day. This is by far the worst email provider and i reccomend everyone to switch to gmail.

what will i do for a year now, stock shelves? This issue has literally ruined an entire year of my life

Ditto! I'm absolutely fuming as unemployed & haven't been able to send/receive emails due to storage full message despite having had this issue before so I paid the upgrade some time ago which it confirms I have yet storage not recognising it!!! I could miss out on applying for jobs or hearing back! Is there a way of opting out of this diabolical change as it's making me ill with stress over & over! Good to see I'm not the only one & I feel for all of you.

Emma- when this happened to me I did all kinds of e-mail clean up still nothing. I ended up realizing all my photos stopped on my laptop were backed up to OneDrive which was impacting my storage capacity. Once I removed everything from there my emails started up again. Unfortunately all missed emails were not recovered in addition some sites stopped sending me emails due to the kick outs.

Hope you’re able to resolve things in your end.
