Notifications from Edge

Are you sure these notifications are coming from Edge (web browser) and not the Mail app? Edge shouldn't send any mail-related notifications by itself, but it could probably do so if you visited an email website (say gmail.com or outlook.com) and that particular
website wants to send notifications.

To check, go to your Edge settings (under the ••• menu), go to Advanced, and then under "Website Permissions", click the manage button and see if any particular websites have been setup to provide notifications (for example, I only have voice.google.com
listed there, as that's the only website I've given permission to send notifications).

 

Notifications in Edge

Oh, see now. I'm afraid I can't help with that. Edge is on the end of its development, as Chromium based new Edge is coming soon.
