• In Outlook, click on the "Refresh" button in the top right corner of the inbox.
• In Yahoo Mail, click on the "Refresh" button in the top right corner of the inbox.

• In Outlook, go to File > Options > Advanced and click on the "Check for updates" button.
• In Yahoo Mail, click on the gear icon (Settings) and select "Check for updates" from the dropdown menu.

3. Clear browser cache and cookies:

6. Check for email client updates:

• Ensure your email client is up to date. Check for updates in the settings or preferences section of your email client.

7. Try a different email client:

• If you're experiencing issues with a specific email client, try using a different one to see if the problem persists.

Remember, if you're still experiencing issues with email updates, it may be worth reaching out to your email provider's support team for further assistance.
