Setting Up MS Mail: Can Send, But Not Receive ?

Hello,

Not too sharp with this, so please bear with me.

Trying to set up the Microsoft Mail on a pc running W10.
Have never used this MS Mail before.

Funny, but I can send msgs with it just fine.

But it receives nothing.
I tested it out by sending a msg to myself from it (it came thru on my iPhone, only),
and also by sending from my iPhone.

So, sending seems to work, but nothing received in the Inbox, apparently.

What am I, as usual, doing wrong or missing ?
Sr. Citien now, so real specific and detailed instructions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob

You should be clear about what you are specifically using, Webmail ?, W10 Mail App ? and with what Email Account ?
My assumption is the W10 Mail App, Outlook Mail.

So W10 Mail App.
Select Account > Right click > Account settings > Change mailbox sync settings >
Download new content > as items arrive.
Download emails from > anytime.
Sync options > Email > On.
> Done.

Mail App settings > Focused inbox > Off, you may have to look at other settings go thru them all.

Windows settings > Privacy > Background apps > Mail and Calendar > On.
People > On.
