Hi
I have a new Apple Watch 6 and it's connected to my iPhone X.
I have both using the iPhone settings for notifications.
The issue is when I receive a new mail, unlike all the other apps, I don't get a push notification, even though its set. I get the ping of a new email on my phone, but nothing appears on screen about the new email.
Have I set something wrong?
Thanks in advance

OK, I may have accidentally found the solution.
I awoke this morning to a couple of Mail notifications on my watch.
This was before I opened my iMac.
Now that my iMac is switched on and I have my Mail app open all the time I don't get notifications on my iPhone or Watch.
I am assuming it believes that the app is in use and therefore no need to send a notification.
I will do a test and close the app and see what the result is.

Nope, that is not what I was trying to say.
I understand I only get notifications on my Watch if my iPhone is locked and not in use. I accept that.
What I was trying to say, is I have several apps that send notifications to my iPhone or watch when pushed. What I am saying is even though Mail is set to push notifications, I never receive notifications on either device when I receive a new email.
Is that a little clearer?
Thanks in advance

Hello Rob Snow,
We understand your concern and want you to review Notifications on your Apple Watch
Check if this helps clarify what you are seeing.
Cheers.
Maybe it’s your thread email messaging needs to be collapse, unthreaded, or updated software allows you to see up to date tips and notifications. Try Siri’s shortcuts
But I don't get ANY notifications from Mail. They appear on my iMac, but ANY new or threaded mails don't give a notification.
Mail Push Notifications don't appear.
