Windows 10: Windows 10 mail app action center notification

The Windows 10 mail app stops notifying me about new emails.

What happens is I need to delete my account from the Windows mail app then recreate the account. The mail app will notify me a few times when new mail comes then it stops. Have to keep doing this over and over again 2 to 3 times a day.


Everything was working fine until the 08-08 Windows update. Since then the mail app has been erratic.

Not getting mail notifications/appearing on action center

You are not alone! This is a common problem with the Windows 10 Mail App - especially if you use a Gmail account. I have a Gmail account and a Comcast account attached to the Mail app and I've noticed that notification banners and Action Center notifications
appear more consistently for my Comcast email. My Gmail notifications (when they do appear, which is rare) will actually disappear from the Action Center and Mail Live Tile after a certain amount of time has passed, regardless of whether or not I open the
Mail app to view my Gmail. However, the Comcast mail notifications will remain in Action Center and Live Tile until I view my Comcast mail in the Mail app.

I've learned that the only way to get consistent mail notifications that remain in the both the Action Center and Mail Live Tile (until you open the Mail App) is to have the Mail app running and minimized to the taskbar. Don't close the Mail app. Just
keep it running and minimized to the taskbar. I think you'll find that you will start to see notifications if you take that approach.

I definitely think this is a design flaw in the Mail app or the Windows 10 Desktop OS. On my Windows 10 Phone, I don't have this problem. The mail notifications work much more consistently, even when the Mail app is closed.

 

How can I configure Windows 10 Action Center mail notifications to open in Outlook instead of Mail App?

How can I configure Windows 10 Action Center mail notifications to open in Outlook(Office 365) instead of Mail App?Thanks

 

I use the Mail App on 4 different Accounts. On one of those accounts no new mail 'badge' indicator, but only the Notification preview and Live Tile previews. The other 3 accounts all indicators work.

Another glitch is in the signatures on/off area.

It seems to update at the rate of about 2 times a week for the last year, last ones listed in Reliability History on mine is
24 Aug, 22 Aug, 20 Aug, 15 Aug, 13 Aug, 12 Aug, 10 Aug, 9 Aug, ......

 

I meant the Windows 10 security/quality update of 08-08.

I show the same updates for the mail app in reliability history.

Did a reset of the mail and calendar app tonight to see if it clears the notification bug.
