Windows 10: Outlook desktop app Windows 10 lock screen notifications

Is it possible to setup Outlook 2016 desktop app Windows 10 lock screen notifications or email account has to be setup in built in mail app in order for this to work?

Outlook Notifications appear after a delay

Turning on notification in Outlook does not guarantee Windows 10 will honor them. So, you have to ensure Windows 10 notification settings are set to allow notifications from the application (they may be in the Action Center, but not displayed on the Desktop).

If you already have Outlook configured to display the desktop alert, then follow these steps to configure Windows.

1. In the Action Center (in the bottom right corner, next to your time)
   click on All Settings. An alternative method to open the Settings
   app would be to open the Start Menu and then click on Settings.
   
2. Click on: System.
   
3. From the panel on the left select: Notifications & Actions.
   
4. In the “Show notifications from these apps” section at the bottom,
   click on
   Outlook. (If Outlook isn’t listed, you haven’t received a new message yet so Outlook isn’t registered yet as an app that receives
   notifications. Simply send yourself a test message in that case and
   reopen the Settings app.
   Also note that you must be using Outlook 2013 or Outlook 2016 as Outlook 2010 and previous have their own notifications which do not
   integrates with Windows 10)
   
5. Make sure that you have enabled all notification options.
   
6. Close Settings.
   

You may or may not need to restart Outlook.

If this doesn't fix the issue, you may need to perform a repair install of Office.

Lock Screen Notifications

Hi Aaron,

If you already receive the email notification before disabling the lock screen notification, it will not go away unless you've read the email.

Since you've mention that there is no new email when you've checked it, there is a high possibility that it is indeed a new email as shown on the lock screen, but it did not appear on the Mail app since it is not syncing properly.

For us to verify if it is syncing issue, we suggest sending a test email. If the email did not arrive, we highly recommend removing your account on Mail app for it to sync properly using the steps below:

• Open the Mail app.
• Click Settings. (As shown on the picture below.)
  
  
  
• Select Manage Accounts.
• Select the account you want to remove, and select Delete account from this device.
• Then, add your account. Please check this link
  for instructions on how to add your account.

After successfully adding the account, check if you will receive the new emails then open it. Afterwards, check the lock screen if it will still provide you the notification. This will help us isolate if the issue is caused by incorrect notification
of lock screen or Mail app not receiving new email messages.

Please update us with the outcome.
