Windows 10: Mail Notification Question

Gmail is my main email and I have it set up in the Mail app. It's configured to use Notifications but I'm not getting anything when email arrives. Anyone else having this problem, or does notifications only work with Outlook accounts?

:)

 

Can't get notifications in action center from Mail app in windows 10.

I can't get notifications from mail app in action center, I read tutorials about that but I can't get it work, my question is : under settings>>notifications (notification is enable) but under GET NOTIFICATION
FROM THESE SENDERS I can't see MAIL and CALENDAR app to enable that, how to add mail and calendar app to these list of senders?? I think this is the reason why I'm not getting notifications for new emails in action center, in mail app notifications are enable
for all accounts. Thanks Vladi.

I use Yahoo mail and I have the exact same problem. I got absolutely no notifications of any kind. I have notifications enabled in the Mail App. Interestingly, under Settings -> System -> Notifications & actions, there is a section called "Show notifications from these apps". For me, the Mail App does not show up on the list of Apps despite the fact that they are enabled within the app itself. Is Mail there for you under that setting?

 

The same problem!
Neither Google, neither OutLook account send notification.
I have button for mail app in notification settings, but it does nothing.
Sometimes few last mails shown in Action center, but only after much time, when they probably already where seen by me.
If the MailApp is active and you send mail to yourself, it received it almost on-line, very fast. You don't need to push sync button.
So it`s probably have a good connections with the servers, but why it can just show notification?

 

I get the same, outlook and gmail

one thing I have noticed, although not looked too much into it, if you look at the built in calendar app (mail and calendar are linked) there is an option for working hours, mine defaults to 9am to 5pm, if I receive an email outside these hours I never get a notification

not sure if its related, just something I came across while looking at this problem

 

Just tried. Still nothing...

 

my only other possible thought is it is somehow related to Cortana and quiet hours

Cortana seems broken for me at the moment and cannot access it to check the settings

EDIT: got Cortana working and don't see any options there

 

Do YOU receive any notification to Action Center at all?
If you do, from what apps or services?

 

I do get them, but they seem very random

I have had twitter, feedback, calendar and some emails notifications, but I cant rely on them, I see the notifications on phone immediately, but win 10 is hit and miss

 

Ok, it seems I understand.
Microsoft still don't know what users need))
Probably it`s because no one in Microsoft really works on Windows PC. There is no other explanation, why they release Win OS in 2015 without basic functionality. Without ability to stay connected to the world and just receive mails!!!))) OMG!
At least it`s work smooth....

 

just done a test

with mail open, I have just sent various emails from my phone to my accounts, notifications all received
with mail closed I get nothing

this is how it works with outlook (part of office), it has to be open for norifications

I assumed mail would run in the background as it did in 8, perhaps this is not the case with 10

 

as far as I can see, with mail app open all notifications are working fine

all mail ones coming through now, also had a calendar and a facebook notification, so these apps send notifications without app being open, just seems to be mail that needs to be open to get notified of mails

 

Just tried, still nothing))
Some random notification for old mail but new mails makes no sound or pop up...

ok, anyway thanks!

 

Got mine to work eventually, this is what I did

From options within mail, turn notifications off then back on again (do this for all accounts)
Under notifications is System Settings, toggle notifications Off then On again
Under default Apps in System Settings make another app your default mail handler, then put it back to the Mail App

Not sure which one of the above fixed it, but after doing them my notifications are now working as expected, even with mail closed
