  1. Win10 Mail app not showing notifications


    The notifications have stopped on my Win10 mail app. It used to show up as a number on the icon in my taskbar when an email from one of the linked accounts showed up. It has stopped doing that.


    Every linked account is set to DOWNLOAD NEW CONTENT AS ITEMS ARRIVE. Sync options for email, calendar, and contacts are all ON.


    Windows 10 Home

    version 1803

    OS build 17134.706


    *** Please don't suggest that I upgrade to the May 2019 Windows update. I have heard there are issues with that update and I won't update it until the issues are cleared up.

    :)

    Mail not showing notifications


    I am not getting toast or action center notifications for Mail app, although in the Mail app settings, I have notifications enabled.
    In Windows settings, "notifications & actions", both the mail app and the calendar app are missing from the list.
    I have not set up the calendar app, but I did set up the mail app with my gmail account, and aside from notifications, it seems to be working properly.

    No notifications from Mail app

    Hello,

    Thank you for suggestion but I had already turned on notifications from within the app without success.

    Mail app is not available (not in list of apps) to turn on or off in the settings – background apps nor is it available from – settings -system – notifications – show notifications from these apps (not in list of apps)

    In settings -system -apps & features – the mail app uninstall/move button is grayed out and unable to uninstall

    When I first upgraded to WIN10 the Mail app was not functioning properly (well known problems and resolved since) so I uninstalled. The Mail app returned part of an upgrade

    Suspect corruption during the reinstall which is prohibiting mail app to interact fully with OS

    Appreciate more suggestions to resolve problem

    Thanks

    Steve

    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.
