Hi!

I've got a little issue regarding Microsoft mail client for Windows 8 (you know, the standard Metro app - white envelop on the blue tile). I've trued everything, but I can't make its notifications pop up correctly each time I receive new mail. Don't know how, but for some reason it started giving me notifications about new mail and I liked it cause I hate checking my inbox every now and then when waiting for a mail. And just as it appeared, the notifications stopped popping up on desktop. Even though in all the settings I've enabled notifications, they still doesn't show up!

So how can I enable them?

A nice step-by-step manual would be great

I deleted your duplicate thread in the Software Hangout. Do not create duplicate topics.

Sorry. Didn't think that this thread was created at all. Isn't it better be in Software Hangouts?

Windows Mail is only in Windows 8, its fine to keep the topic here. I, myself, do not use the program.

I use the program and I noticed that it many times has difficulty in synchronizing with my Hotmail and sometimes with other email account. The best thing is to check in now and then and sync manually to check if you have new mail, if you have a message that the synchronization with an email account isn't possible just try again. You see the program tries to synchronize automatically when you check in and the emails you see may be being received at that time, or you see them before checking in (this can happen only if you have the "dynamic tile" option activated)?

Well, that doesn't solve the issue. As I've said, the program is weird. It started working correctly by itself and stopped the same way. All sync options are ON, tile is dynamic. etc. I just want to give notifications when the mail arrives. Maybe it's worth re-installing it ... never thought of that before.

Today I discovered the solution by chance: While into the program click on the "Settings" symbol, then click on "Accounts", click on the account you want to configure and you'll be presented with a set of configuration options including the one to receive email notifications for this account or not.
