no Mac Mail notifications when app closed?

I am not getting notifications when mail is received when the mail app is closed.


I believe I was before a few days ago. And on iOS I don't need the app opened to get notifications.


  1. Am I right that I should be getting notifications when the app is closed?
  2. If yes, is there a way to fix? (I've already tried closing the notifications process in activity monitor to reset)


Thank you



Mac mini 2018 or later

Mail on the desktop does not get email while closed. It has no underlying mechanism to notify you of messages waiting on the server.
