Windows 10: Mail Notification Question

didn't work for me

 

Did you do a RESTART RECENTLY? Restart does something that just turning your computer on and off does not do.

 

Also did you check your INSTALLED UPDATES for KB3081424 ?

 

That recent update made mine a whole lot worse

don't get email at all now unless I open the mail app

 

The only difference I have noticed since turning on my Norton firewall is no email notifications show up in the Action Center. I am getting sounds, banners and live tile notifications.
I wish the live tile displayed longer, only 15 minutes now. In Win 8.1 live tile displayed until Mail App was opened.

 

that's interesting to know, think I prefer the live tile to stay until app opened

mine initially works after a reboot, I can send messages between my accounts and all is fine, after I leave pc for a while it just stops giving any type of notification of mail

 

When my firewall was off the live tile only displayed 15 minutes, I thought it was a format change by Microsoft. Also prefer the way it was in WIN 8.1, tile displayed until app was opened. Strange how we miss the things we are acquainted with.

 

Hi there. Interesting updated facts. This is similar to the sleep problem there is/was in 8.1 in that there were various scenarios. What worked for some did not work for others. Not sure if that issue ever got resolved for some. An update issued addressing that issue resolved it for most, but not others. In this case which doesn't relate to others' systems, David's works since changing AV and firewall. Mine works fine except my live tile doesn't. This is what I mean by different scenarios. Hard to find a common denominator. Different OEMs, AVs, MS vs local accounts, etc.

With what Paul states in that it works for awhile then ceases, it may be a service or even 2 or more that stop running after a time.

I'm in my 8.1 partition ATM. Just sent my self a test email via my Lumia. 8.1 responds almost immediately with notification and live tile until the Mail app is opened. My sole reasoning there is to make sure it's not MS servers causing any delay issues or that 8.1 has any issues at all. At least on my machine.

Another thing that came into mind is that they conjoined the Mail and Calendar apps technically calling it the "Communications" app. Does your Calendar apps work ok? Notifications and tile? There's no problem on my end.

I'm thinking they will conjoin the People app with them in the future. That app sure looks rinky dink to the one in 8.1. That's neither here nor there. Just my thoughts.

If this be anyone's main system and you're not comfortable with the app as broken, you may want to look for one that does work. If it isn't your main system such as mine and you're remaining an Insider, then I should think to stick with it so to send data back to MS for analysis.

Good luck to all.

 

My calendar App is working fine. My People app is still connected to my Mail App, I just added a new contact to People and just type 1 or 2 letters when sending an email. A drop down list appears and I click on one or another choice.

I contacted the only Microsoft MVP I have worked with asking him if Microsoft knows about this problem. I included a link to this thread.

In switching over to my 10 Pro partition I opened up my People app. I may have spoken too soon with my earlier critique on it. It seems they surely simplified it. Not really sure what to think at this point.

So as not to get into a long conversation so to detour your/this thread on the apps so far as conjoined vs working in conjunction, we'll save that for another time or thread if you'd like.

Very good, David. Great idea! *Thumbs

 

here's something I noticed, which to me looks like something is messed up somewhere, whether related or not I don't know
this is if you have multiple accounts set up

open mail app and display one of you mail boxes (example I view my outlook email)
close mail down
send an email to one of your other accounts, eg I send it to my gmail
notification arrives for this email, I click it and my outlook mail box opens, I am unable to enter the gmail mail boxes
close mail and re open it and all works fine

while I was testing the above, notifications worked fine, later tonight they will stop again though

 

You may be on to something, Paul. I have one Live email account solely and mine works all the way around including the live tile.

Who here also has multiple accounts?

 

I have two Outlook and one Comcast accounts. Strange thing I never got Paul's Post, it did not arrive in my mail app. I got two in a row from you. There are still problems even when I think it is fixed.

And your second email was 35 minutes late.

I opened a browser and checked my Outlook mail, nothing there from Paul, two in a row from HippsieGypsie. Maybe that one is not the Mail App.

 

Nope, KB3081424 installed, notifications still does not work. Nothing has changed.

Anyway, Here is an interesting news:

someone from MS was on reddit and said the fix for the mail app would come as an app update and not a system update. She claimed they were testing the fix already.

 

Thanks for that info, tofmin. *Smile
