How do I switch mail notification sounds on?
Hi, I have W10 installed on a PC and have the default mail app. How do I switch the mail notification sounds on? They were on before, but the notification must have switched itself off.

Hello CosmicHorizon, and welcome to Ten Forums.
Those "Get notifications from these senders" settings would be grayed out if you turned off Get notifications from apps and other senders. That would have the same effect as turning off all those settings.
You will need to turn on Get notifications from apps and other senders.

Got them all ungreyed now. Makes no difference though, still no mail sound. Unless I have to restart my PC?
Just to repeat that I never touched any of these settings and I live by myself. W10 has switched them off for me.
Also, to repeat, I do not have a gear icon in the mail app.
Yes, found the gear icon in mail app! However, mail sounds are already checked and applied to all accounts.
