    How can I make the windows 11 Mail app check for new mail in the background, even while...


    Is it possible to have the Mail app check for new emails in the background, without it actually being open i.e. the icon doesn't appear in the taskbar? It is annoying to have to always open the app to check my email and not be able to see notifications for incoming mail without leaving it open.

    :)

    Windows Mail app background bug

    I'm using 21H2 with Mail version 16005.14326.20544.0.

    I've yet again discovered a more specific way to reproduce this. The issue only appears when the Mail app background is already set to a custom background and then choosing another custom background through the "Browse" button.

    The issue does not occur if the initial background was a standard one.

    Sorry but could you please test this final method and let me know?

    Windows Mail app background bug

    Mail app: Version 16005.14326.20544.0

    Windows 11 Dev build, and Windows 10 Pro 21H2

    It's instant with selected pictures via Browse too

    And your version? Mail app.

    You could reset Mail app. Go to Settings / Apps ( click on Mail and calendar - Advanced and select repair. Reset would be the next step, but in this case the data and settings of the app are lost

    Windows Mail app background bug

    Sorry, not sure what you mean. I was talking about choosing a background through the "Browse" button and then repeating that step again with another background. In that case the Mail app won't apply that 2nd background.
