    Weird Mail app notification behavior


    For some reason I don't get any Windows Mail app toast notifications in the bottom right corner when I receive any new emails until I open the Mail app itself, which defeats its purpose.

    I have enabled toast notifications in the Mail app settings as well as the general Windows settings.
    Reinstalling the app doesn't fix the issue.

    I'm using Windows 10 Pro 21H2.

    Anyone else noticing this behavior with the Windows Mail app?

    Various issues are suggested.

    And of course notifications have to be appropriately enabled:

    I have already enables all the notification settings and the discussion doesn't have a solution unfortunately.

    Do you have the same issue?

    Thank you for your reply.

    Correct- I merely meant it to stimulate thought so you can better assess your situation.

    After all, everyone wants an instant magic fix for free, of course.

    I don't use the Windows Mail app- too limited- and I was thoroughly deterred from relying on MS for an email client after the demise of Outlook Express and then Winmail. Never again!
