Creator Update & Windows 10 Mail App Problem

Hi Barry,

It seems that the settings might have changed after the Creators update was installed. We suggest that you check the settings in Notifications & actions. To do that, follow these steps:

• Go to Settings and then System.
• Click on Notifications & actions.
• Under Show notification from these apps, turn On the Banner, Sounds for the Mail app.
  

You may also try to remove your email account and re-add it in the mail app.

If the issue still persists, we suggest that you run the Window app troubleshooter to scan and fix problems with the app. To run the troubleshooter, click on this

link.

Feel free to post back and update us with the results after performing the suggested steps.

Regards.
