Outlook is not syncing: first checks

An Outlook problem can come from the connection, offline mode, the Microsoft 365 account or the application itself. A few observations can help narrow down the cause.

First checks

Start by observing, without taking risks.

  1. 01

    Confirm Internet access

    Open a familiar website to distinguish an Outlook issue from a broader connection problem.

  2. 02

    Test email on the Web

    If your organization allows it, verify whether the account works in Outlook on the Web without sharing your password with anyone.

  3. 03

    Look for queued messages

    A large or stalled message in the outbox can prevent normal synchronization.

  4. 04

    Record the error message

    Keep the exact wording and note when it appears; these details make diagnosis faster.
