    Getting notifications Account requires attention in Mail app


    Not long ago I received a notice of suspicious behavior regarding my Google account, and I didn't recognize the location of the activity (log in).


    The Mail app is suddenly giving me the "account requires attention", message, and the gmail address in question is not usable.

    Due to the circumstances (this has happened previously, and was harmless) I want to double check with you, is "*** Email address is removed for privacy ***" legit?


    "commapps" gives some strange search results.



    Thanks

    'Attention Required' notification in Windows 10 Mail

    Hi, I am getting an 'Attention Required' notification in Windows 10 Mail with a warning triangle next to the Accounts list on the left hand side of the screen against the Hotmail account. The trouble is when I click on it and select Fix Account, a pop up
    appears titles 'Attention Required, with the words Fixing Account... , but fro0m there it just hangs. Nothing else happens.

    Any ideas on how to resolve this?

    'Attention Required' notification in Windows 10 Mail

    Im having same problem since Windows Phone 10 update (1607) (build 10.0.14393.2007) on MS Lumia 535. Keeps asking to "Fix" password. Enter correct password SAVE then wait. Then loops back to "Attention Needed", "Fix" ad-infinitum. Update has rendered Outlook
    Mail app useless.

    Moved from: Windows / Apps on Windows 10 / Mail/Outlook Mail

    Getting notifications Account requires attention in Mail app

    Mail sounds required, but not notification banners


    Settings > System > Notifications & actions > Notifications > get notifications from apps and other senders > On.
    Scroll down to Mail > On.
    Click on that
    Notifications > On
    Show notifications in Action centre > Off.
    Then switch On what you require for each account.

    Some of those settings (and some different) are repeated in the Mail App itself.

    You will get rather variable results as to what actually works on what accounts, all rather flaky, and confusing.
