Why am I not getting Steam guard emails?

You are not getting Steam Guard emails because the email might have been redirected to your spam folder, or your email provider, such as Outlook.com, might be blocking emails from Steam, or you might have entered an incorrect email address when verifying your account, or there might be a delay in the email delivery due to network issues. To resolve this issue, you need to verify that you are accessing the email address registered to your Steam account and check your email spam filter to ensure the message was not flagged as spam.
