iOS 16 – Mail app – notifications for folders other than the Inbox – missing functionality in iOS 16

mct123.

In iOS, you can change your notification settings by using the following steps:

Set email notifications on iPhone -- This is how it’s done in iOS 16:

Receive notifications about replies to an email or thread

You can set up mail notifications that let you know when you receive emails in favorite mailboxes or from your VIPs.

• When reading an email: Tap , then tap Notify Me.

• When writing an email: Tap the Subject field, tap  in the Subject field, then tap Notify Me.

To change how notifications appear, go to Settings  > Mail > Notifications, then turn on Allow Notifications.

Hope this helps!

Have a great day.

Hello mct123,

Are you referring to incoming mail notifications? If so, per Manage notifications from Mail on Mac - Apple Support

Change new message notifications

1. In the Mail app  on your Mac, choose Mail > Settings, then click General. 
2. Do any of the following:

• Change new message sound: Click the “New message sound” pop-up menu, then choose a sound.
• Change the mailbox for new message notifications: Click the “New message notifications” pop-up menu, then choose a mailbox.

So this would indicate only one mailbox - such as Inbox - can be chosen to alert you.

Cheers!
