mail notifications not working

Hello Ian Smith4,

We understand that you're not receiving notifications for the Mail app, and we'd like to help.

Just to confirm, is the issue only occurring with Mail notifications? In other words, are notifications working as expected for other apps?

If the issue is only occurring with notifications for Mail, the "If you don't see notifications for a specific app" part of this page may be helpful: Use notifications on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

If that doesn't help, please let us know what type of email account you're using with the Mail app, as that may help narrow things down a bit more.

Thanks!

Ian Smith4,

Thanks so much for updating us on the situation.

Since it sounds like banner notifications are appearing for Mail, but there's no sound with those notifications, can you let us know if you were able to review the notification settings for the Mail app, using the information in the article we provided in our initial reply?

If you did have a chance to review the notification settings for the Mail app, can you let us know if "Sounds" is enabled for Mail notifications? The "Change alert styles" part of the link we previously provided outlines those steps.

If the notifications are enabled correctly, we have a few additional things we'd like to check and try to help isolate the issue further.

1. Please make sure all available app updates have been installed: Update apps or use automatic downloads
2. Is Do Not Disturb enabled on your device? If so, does the issue continue to happen when the Do Not Disturb feature is turned off? Use Do Not Disturb on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
3. Are the Date & Time settings set correctly on your device? If so, is the "Set Automatically" setting enabled? This page explains how to view those settings: Set the date and time on iPhone

Are you using a VPN connection? If you are, does the issue continue when your device isn't connected to a VPN? VPN settings overview for Apple devices

Thank you!
