Windows 10: E-Mail Notifications while Surface is in Connected StandBy

Hello,


I am testing since more than one day and in between I even have re-installed Windows 10 on my Surface 7 Pro because of this issue. So please, if you answer, you can consider that I have a freshly installed and completly updated system currenty that means 1909. Also apps in Windows Store have been updated 23rd March 2020.


I am wondering why it is not possible to receive notifications when I am going to receive e-mails while my device is in Connected/Modern Standby WITH an according "new e-mail" sound. I configured my "Windows Mail" tool the standard Windows 10 app one for my GMX e-mail account IMAP. Currently, I am only getting notifications via info center if the device is running fully, so with display etc. In addition, I also get a sound notification when turning the device on if there has been an e-mail while in standby.


I did all configuration in "System->Notifications and Actions" in a way that Windows Mail shall notify me. In the app itself, I configured "Play sound" on notification. In "Privacy->Background Apps" I configured that the app is allowed to run in background. Before switching to Connected Standby I even open the app by the way. The GMX account synchronization configuration ist set to "as items arrive", but I also tried "15 minutes".


Of course, I tried other apps in context of Connected Standby. How should I tell you that Connected Standby in general works otherwise? Indeed, yes, everything it seems to work... somehow. I have to admit that no notifications worked at all before re-installing. Usually, I play a lot with the registry until I get the system I want/need. It broke. I had to create a new user account in order to get results. Now, I decided to re-install and things work. Unreliable somehow, but it works.


For example, I am testing the app "Alarm&Clock". It often works. However, at some point in time after the device is running for a while, it seems to "break" as well somehow. The alarm will not put the system awake. This shall be a reliable alarm which wakes me in the morning? And yes, my device is running with power supply. Somehow I also feel that alarms work more reliable if I open the app and keep it open while switching to standby. Is it the way it should be? Is this documented somewhere? If I close the app, the app is often only working if the device is on. It happened once that the alarm was 1 minute late often I don't wait that long, however.


By the way, Skype is working wonderfully. Everyone can call me while in Connected StandBy. The device is ringing loudly. That's the way notifications should work if activated accordingly, right?


Thanks and greetings!

:)

 

Can't stop E-mail notifications!

Every time a thread I've written on gets a reply, I get an e-mail. I get over 50 e-mails a day!
I tried stopping it in the user options by choosing the option of not sending e-mail notifications, but it has not worked!

Somebody help me.

 

Surface Book missing Connected Standby?


Greetings!

A question regarding the Connected Standby feature on my Surface Book with Performance Base.

According to the image below it appears as if it's not being listed ( neither as available OR unavailable ) on my system?



Am I missing something or have the naming conventions changed?
Screenshot is from a refreshed System with latest default drivers.

According to a TheWindowsClub article it should at least be listed ( at least on Windows 8 I assume )?


Thanks in advance!

Not recieving e-mail notifications about thread replies

I noticed that I'd not got a single e-mail from TPU after I'd been away for a week and just assumed that none of the threads I posted in before I'd left had had any more posts, however I've now realised that TPU is simply not sending me the e-mails.
I've checked in User CP that it's set to instant e-mail notification which it is but still no e-mails, TPU is marked as safe in Hotmail as well so there shouldn't be any issues there.
I'm definitely still getting e-mails through as I can tell from the mass Facebook spam on my e-mail address.
Anyone else have an issue like this? Anyone know a workaround for it?
