How to Turn On or Off Mail app Notification Banner and Sound in Windows 10


The Mail and Calendar apps included with Windows 10 help you stay up to date on your email, manage your schedule and stay in touch with people you care about the most. Designed for both work and home, these apps help you communicate quickly and focus on whats important across all your accounts. Supports Office 365, Exchange, Outlook.com, Gmail, Yahoo! and other popular accounts.

The action center in Windows 10 collects and shows notifications and alerts from traditional Windows applications and system notifications, alongside those generated from modern apps. Notifications are then grouped in the Action Center by app and time. When the Action Center gets a new notification, it will briefly show a notification banner above the taskbar notification area to let you know.

I have set Mail Windows 10 as a default. In Mail setting I have set in notification in Action center to ON as well as checked the boxes for notification banner and sound.

The APPS that are showing bellow SHOW NOTIFICATION FROM THESE APPS are:

Calendar, Facebook, One Drive, Skype, Widows Feedback. (Mail APP is Missing)

How do I place this Mail APP in (Show notification from these Apps) To turn this notification to ON.?

Thanks

It's still pretty spotty for me as well. Sometimes you'll get the notifications and sounds for the Mail app, and sometimes you don't. *Sad

Be sure that you also turned on show notifications from the Mail app in Settings in step 5E.

 

Anyone knows why I don't get an instant pop-up and sound notification for incoming emails? Sometimes it's working but sometimes not.
Sync in my account settings is set up as "download when an email arrives. I get an instant notification on my Android phone but not Windows app. Sometimes it takes some hours to get an action center notification and sometimes it never shows and plays but when I open Mail app manually, all new mails are there.

 

Sorry cant help you on that as I have never had that trouble
All 4 of my accounts are set the same as yours
All linked to one inbox
Also on mine they come through on laptop before they do on my phone.
Also I have Face Book linked as well

 

Everything is set up right.

 

Suggestion :
Create another user account with exactly the same privileges as this current one > logon to it > setup your Mail app > see if you have the same problem on notifications.
