Windows 10: Mail Notification Question

Could be servers, David. I noticed if I send an email to myself on my Lumia, it comes back to the phone 2 seconds after I press the send button. That's on WiFi. I have configured not to download when on cell network as with all my apps, for I'm on limited data plan. It takes about 5 seconds when I'm on my 8.1 OS. That's with Mail app not open and it's Ethernet hardwired to my Comcast router.

Just tried it on my 10 OS. Got it on my phone, but not in my 10, however, I just woke my PC up 15 minutes ago when returning home. I noticed my live tile is dead from the previous mails I received, but never opened the app to receive. When I rebooted I did receive it with notification and live tile also, but it took about 15 minutes after reboot. I didn't open the app and noticed that my live tile goes dead. Not sure how long afterwards, though.

According to the tidbit of news it looks as though MS is aware of all this and is addressing the issue. I guess we'll have to live with it for awhile.

 

I keep trying different things. I removed all extra email accounts, only the "User Account" outlook email remains. It does not seem I can remove that one. Anyway I did a reset and 15 minutes later I got the first notification in several hours. There were several emails that arrived without notifications.

The live tile went blank after approx. 15 minutes without opening my mail app. I really think that is the default setting.

I have been reviewing mail app posts on the Microsoft forum. The multiple email accounts are a major suspect in our problems.

I thought someone else might want to try having only one email account and see what happens.

I can open my secondary email accounts with a browser and really they are not that important.

My Microsoft MVP said he is not currently working on Windows 10 issues and will try to pass my info on.
(Do not know if that is good or bad. but it doesn't sound promising).

I have a link to my latest Microsoft forum thread. I thought some of you might want to look at it.

Hi, David. paulsalter told me that he received the Mail app update. I have not so far. You may want to open by typing Reliability Monitor into search and open it.

BTW, that answer you received in the MS forum is more or less a pat answer. I swear those people do piece work. The more answers they give and phone calls they answer, the more they make. IOW per answer or call.

 

Just a Quick reply for now. I found Post #1681 on page 169 so HippsieGypsie you might want to EDIT your link.
Here is the correct link.

This is not ideal, but is much better

I received the mail app update as mentioned above
this morning I also followed this to re register the store apps
https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/3...ws-8-10-a.html

If I have mail open, everything is working perfect, calendar and email notifications received as expected

not tested with mail closed yet, but will test that tomorrow

 

This all depends on how many post to view per page in your account settings. Mine is at 20 per, so therefore will generate a different URL.

 

I have six Critical events and 2 Warnings in the last week. The Mail and Calendar Update FAILED.

Reliability Monitor great post HippsieGypsie. (can I just type Hippie in the future without offending you?)
Another item I did not know was there, disappointed when I clicked on "check for solutions to all problems" at the bottom of the Monitor. It was kind of like communicating with a Microsoft Employee (try it and see).

 

Members just use HG. Easy to type.

Yeah, tried that and nada too. They've got a ways to go with 10 yet. Glad I've got my 8.1. *Smile

 

Was there an update to Mail? Notifications suddenly started working for me this morning. (Unless disabling Facebook notifications last night did the trick. That would be an interesting conflict.)

 

not seen any updates for it

will try disabling my FB notifications tonight, see if it makes a difference tomorrow

 

You can use whatever email program you want - I use Thunderbird. I went to Settings/System/Defaults to make it the default email app and Firefox the default web browswer.

 

I have several Outlook.com accounts set up. I put the check mark in the Show Notification Banner box and the box to Play a Sound. The banner notification works when I get new mail but I get no sound notification even though I have selected an e-mail message for "Desktop Mail Notification" and "New Mail Notification" in my sound scheme. Is this another thing in Windows 10 that does not work?

 

Hi there. Thanks for posting that. I researched it: Mozilla-Thunderbird.

Really don't see an advantage of it personally. What advantage and what do you like about it?

 

Hello, Steven. Welcome to Windows Ten Forums.

It could be a be a bug. A lot of these should be fixed soon. Any OS released has them.

 

still not working for me
