Apple Mail App Notifications

My Apple Mail app is the only email app I use, and it will not send notifications. I will attach screenshots. Notifications are turned on, but it won’t give an option for the little red badge with the number of emails, and it never sends actual notifications. How can I fix this?

iPhone 13, iOS 15

Mail app not receiving notifications I have an issue getting notifications (for emails received) to work in the mail app. I’ve checked to make sure notifications are enabled. I installed a couple of 3rd party mail apps and I wasn’t able to get notifications working either. Any help appreciated.

Not receiving Mail notifications I’ve never received a new Mail notification despite every possible setting being turned on even down to the individual acct. it’s all there in Settings > Notifications > Mail so please don’t ask me to check that…. It’s really all switched on! I have to open Mail to see if I have emails. I went to enable background refresh as that’s what you’re told to do, but Mail seems to be the only app that isn’t listed on there…. It’s simply not there to switch on. Any ideas anyone?

I don't receive push notifications from Mail I usually receive push notifications from all apps without issue. The one exception to this is Apple's Mail app and - strangely - only one email address. Push notifications, as well as notification badges, don't appear until I open the app, which defeats their purpose. I might've already found the reason for the problem but it creates more questions than it answers. I use the Mail app for two email addresses: iCloud and my business email. On my iCloud address, push notifications and badges work just fine. On my business email the issues are as described above. Now when I go to Mail > Accounts > Fetch New Data, I can see that the schedule is set to Push on my iCloud address. However, on my affected address it's set to Fetch. I wanted to change this one to Push as well but the option wasn't even available. I can only choose between Fetch and Manual. Is there a way I can fix this? Did I maybe make a mistake when adding the email address to the Mail app? This is a painful issue because this email address is super important for me. Thanks in advance to anyone trying to help.

Hi jtkobeki,

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. Let's troubleshoot the Mail app with the following steps:

"Close and reopen the app

Force the app to close. Then open the app to see if it works as expected.

Restart your device

Restart your iPhone or restart your iPad. Then open the app to see if it works as expected.

Check for updates

To see if updates are available for the app, open the App Store, tap your profile icon, then scroll down to see if updates are available. If updates aren't available for the app, update the software on your iPhone or iPad."

If an app on your iPhone or iPad stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open

Cheers.
