How do I receive emails again on my mobile phone?

I have the outlook app but it dosent show my emails

Short summary:

Open the Outlook app on your mobile phone.
If you are not logged into your account, click on "Add Account".
If you see the message "This is already a Microsoft account. Please try a different email address" when adding your email account, try to use a different email address or re-install the app.
If you cannot add your email account to the app, try to re-install the app by going to Google Play or using the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.office.outlook&hl=uk&gl=US and clicking "Uninstall", then install it back.
After the app is re-installed, try to add your email account again.
Once your email account is added successfully, you should be able to receive emails on your mobile phone.
