OK, I wanted to update this posting as I finally have notifications appearing in the Action Center. Bottom line is that this behavior is very frustrating as it's inconsistent.

My gut feeling is that there is something somewhere in the system, perhaps a registry key or value thatВ keeps getting flipped from an on position to off and then perhaps someВ patch from Microsoft turns that value back on for a while until someД®vent turns it back off again. Now I'm assuming thatВ running these two applicationsВ on the same PC is not an issue but I wanted that fact to be known. Having theВ Mail application watching for new mail being added to my inbox allows me to quickly view the subject header and the sender to determine if there is anything important ServerВ that I use as I don't have Outlook 2010 open all the time.

Windows 10 mail shows unread mail windows 10#

I have the Mail client in Windows 10 setup specifically so that I get notifications of emails being available onВ the email Instead I use theВ OutlookДў010 email appВ as my email client as I have a number of setting that the Mail client simply cannot be configured for. In reality I don't use the Mail app that's available in Windows 10 to read and write email messages.

I checked this list and currently Mail is not on that list however I don't know if this is normal behavior for that app not Someone else suggested that to get notifications an app also had to be listed in Settings/System/Notifications & Actions. Someone suggested that for mail notifications to be displayed that the mail app needed to run in the backgroundВ to send notifications and to remain up to dateВ so I drilled down into Settings/Privacy/Background Apps and found that mail was listedДЄs an app that runs in the background and the switch to turn the app on and off was properly set to the ON position.

I saw no change in the notifications for mail. After everything was reset and I restarted my system I then double checked the mail app and verified that notifications were set to the ON position. I read that if there was a problem with the mail app that you should reset the app which I did. I have run SFC and DISM and neither showed a problem with the OS or OS files. Here's what I've done or checked out so far:

Windows 10 mail shows unread mail upgrade#

With the Anniversary Upgrade but right now I'm not receiving Mail notifications. I was hoping that this problem would go away Start showing within the notification icon and then just as mysteriously, the notifications will just stop and I have not overtly done anything that I'm aware of to make these notifications start and stop. Sometimes for reasons unknown, notifications will mysteriously I've had a periodic issue since Windows 10 was introduced with the Notification Icon in the system tray showing notifications of new mail being available in the built-in Mail application.
