Outlook/Hotmail Junk Folder

It is possible that your incoming emails are being put in your Junk/Spam folders. 
It is also possible that emails go into another folder in your Inbox, such as Other.

You should also be aware that Hotmail/MSN/Outlook/Live are particularly vulnerable to hackers and you should change your password regularly and always use a strong password.  You should also check that there is no suspicious FORWARDING address set up on your account. Changing your password alone does not change any forwarding that has been set up by a hacker.

If you think your account has been compromised, you should also change any other accounts that use the old password.

Following the steps below should help you resolve the Junk issue. See also screenshots here.
