  1. Why won't my Windows 10 mail app send me notifications?


    I have my Gmail account linked to the Windows 10 mail app, yet it won't send me a notification of a new email until I open then app. Even when the app is just minimized it won't send me notifications, only when I unminimize it will it send me the notification of a new email. I have notifications turned on in both the mail app and in the notifications & actions settings menu. Mail and calendar is also enabled in the background app settings. It's extremely frustrating, not sure what could be causing this.

    Mail app not receiving notifications

    Hi Dave,

    It seems that the Mail app is not running in the background. To show the app in the "Notifications & Actions" settings page, we suggest running it in the background. To do so, please follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows key + i to open Settings, then select
      Privacy
      .
    • In the left pane, select Background apps.
    • Under Let apps run in the background, toggle the switch to turn on or off the background apps.
    • Once you're done, you may now turn on the Mail app in the "Notifications & Actions" settings page to get notifications.

    Feel free to post back with the result for further assistance.

    Windows 10 mail App, notifications


    Just started using the Windows 10 mail app. Unfortunately, not receiving notifications. I checked the option to have notifications come up in the Action Center, as well as Notification banners and to play a sound. Unfortunately, not receiving notifications. In the mail app, I tried Setting it to check for messages Every 15 minutes, and based on my usage.
    I read somewhere that you can check for items "as they arrive", but this option isn't available for some reason. Is there anything anybody can suggest to try to get new message notifications to show up?

    Why won't my Windows 10 mail app send me notifications?

    Mail app will not open on 10041.

    Hello Adam,

    This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. Why won't my Windows 10 mail app send me notifications? :)

    In this Windows 10 build 10041, the Mail, Calendar, and People apps may be broken due to a licensing issue with the Store Beta. To get these apps working again, you need to follow these steps:

    • Open powershell as administrator
    • Run the command Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like “*windowscommunicationsapps*”} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online
    • Re-install Mail, People and Calendar from the Store (green tile)
