Windows 10: Mail Notification Question

paulsalter, *Thumbs

Thanks your post really helped me. I just received my first ever Sound and Banner from an email. Action center notifications and "live tile" are also working. I had to do the off then on (notification settings) in both my Admin & User Accounts, then do a restart on my computer. (the restart really helped) *Smile

In Settings > System > Apps & features > Mail - there is no way to uninstall, the uninstall button is greyed out. I was considering doing a complete uninstall then reinstalling Mail & Calendar, but found this was not possible to uninstall Mail from either of my Admin. or User accounts. *Huh

 

Nope, does not work for me...

- notifications in system - check
- notifications in email app - check
- default mail app - ckeck
- synchro - every 15 mins

Turned on/off these options 100x, restarting computer and nothing. Still, I do not get notifications even when the mail app is running. Also, there's no "mail" in "background apps".

Darn... :/

 

Not working again, three emails arrived with no sound, no banner and nothing in action center.

So here is my question, my Windows 10 does not give me the option to uninstall Mail. (see images below Admin & User).
Notice the move and uninstall buttons are "greyed out" or do not function. Also not sure why User has 313 MB and Admin 150 MB in size other than User account has 2 extra email accounts.
I WANT TO UNINSTALL MAIL AND REINSTALL IT OR ANOTHER MAIL APP. *Mad *Mad *Sad *Confused

 

Hi all,
well the banners didn't work for me either, no sound nothing. But I could see the message in the action center. I also noticed that notifications are on but only for sounds. I went to Settings -> System -> Notifications etc. -> scrolled down to Show notifications from these apps -> then I clicked on Mail (the button was set in position ON of course) -> Changed Show notification banners to ON (it was set to off for some reason) then voila everything started working, sounds and banners *Smile

 

Mine has also broken again today

Whatever I try I cannot get it to work again

I might just sit it out and hope the next update fixes the issue

 

I get Facebook notifications. That's about it.

Hi tofmin, *Dinesh *Thumbs

Because I want to give credit where it is due, first let me say Thank You.

Can you post your reply on my Thread?

Want to Uninstall Microsoft Email App.

Because both your links look exactly the same when shortened, can you label each link like this.

Anyway I want you to post this on my other thread so I can mark it as the answer.
I opened a new thread because I was not sure anyone would find my question at the bottom of this thread.

 

Open Mail app > Settings > Accounts > Choose any account > Change mailbox sync settings > Choose any time in the "Download email from" dropdown list.

 

I have had all accounts set that way for a long time.

 

Sure, no problem

PS. I don't uninstall anything yet. I'll wait for MS update. Maybe they fix this.

 

Sounds like great advice, I hope they fix these email problems.

 

Ok. What about settings in Notifications? All look good there?





Do you sign into your PC/device with MS account or have local account?

I see you have Norton Security Suite and assume using Norton firewall. If so, does it give it permission?

 

Notifications look just like yours look.

MS account to sign-in.

Norton Firewall was never a problem before. I will check the Norton Forum.

**************************************************************************************************** *************
I have 5 different email accounts in my mail app, from3 different services (Comcast, gmail & outlook).
Right now to get my email I must open each account and click sync at the top of the app. If it was a Firewall problem why would sync bypass the Firewall?

I am going to wait for an update. After that I will uninstall and reinstall my mail app.
I have been working on this for 5 days, checked and rechecked every setting inside the app and in Settings.

 

Ok, David. Sounds like a good plan.

Didn't think of that about the firewall. The manual command may be an exception to the firewall rule. I see you're checking the site.

Please don't mind me. I'm just stumped as to why it works for some and not others. Trying to look for a common denominator and see none.

Is this a predominant problem that you know of? Haven't been cruising the forum lately all that much to notice.
