Windows 10: 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?

Not receiving notification on Windows 10 Mail App Notifications/Live Tile

Has anyone noticed that Windows 10 Mail App (for PC) notifications only work when the Mail app is left open and minimized to the taskbar? Same with the Mail Live Tile - it only updates when the mail app is open and minimized to the taskbar. Is this by
design? I wish Microsoft would address this issue. On Windows 8.1, mail notifications would appear even if the mail app was closed. Same with Windows Phone 10 - the mail notifications appear even when the mail app is closed.

Windows 10 Mail Not receiving notification banner & sound or in Action Center of new Mail

The MAIL APP is missing from Settings, in (Show notification from these APPS) and unable to turn on the notification.

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

Hello swlabr, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

You might also double check using the tutorial below to see if it may help with the Mail app notifications. I've found its notifications to be a bit spotty as well though.

In the tutorial, it displays a picture of going to "Settings", "Privacy", "Background Apps", and setting "Mail" to run in the background. For some reason, I don't appear to have the option for mail.

 

Look for Calendar as well. Mail and Calendar are technically the same app, and has been random for which name shows up in "Background Apps".
