Emails are not being sent to me

Beginning on 11/01/13 at about 11:30 AM CDT, my outlook emails are being delayed and are being received only occasionally since then. The 11/01 emails arrived at about 6:15 AM CDT on 11/02. Then nothing until 5:15 PM on 11/02. Since then nothing has been received. This is also the same condition on my mobile phone. I have also received messages that emails are being delayed from *** Email address is removed for privacy *** and messages that there is a problem with Outlook that is not related to my computer. I was directed to try again or check the system status. Nothing seems to help. Please check things out as I have used Hotmail (now Outlook) for many years and have never experienced a problem like this. I also now depend on Outlook to receive current emails on my mobile Windows phone. I have no problem with sending, just receiving.
