Since iOS 18 and two updates my iPhone 15 pro max is silent to all incoming emails .

In Settings > Notifications, how have you set up notifications for mail? Do you have a tone set up for Mail Notifications? Do you by chance wear Apple Watch?
I think that the point that others are making is that iOS18 changed some notification settings so if you could post here what your current setup is it might help with a solution. If you've set a custom sound for mail notifications or different sounds for different mailboxes then you should confirm that they all still work.
It could be the bug that randomly silences notifications on some devices if the accounts they come from are also on other devices on the same network, whether or not those devices notify. Email only randomly notifies on my Mac if my iPhone or iPad is also turned on and in the room, even if they don't notify. If I'm expecting an email or message I have to check periodically on one of my devices or turn them all off except one if I want to be sure to be notified. It's been a bug for me for a couple of OS's now. I first reported it ages ago, but it's not fixed yet.

The only impact iOS 18.1 has had on my notifications is that I enabled the "Intelligent Breakthrough & Silencing in one of my Focuses. That focus also has "Smart Activation" enabled. I'm doing this mostly as an experiment. However, it does silence notifications I did not explicitly silence.
I'm having this problem on both iPhone 14 and iPad 7. It started with iOS/iPadOS 18 (I think 18.0.1), currently I'm on 18.1.1. Incoming emails trigger the banner notification and badge on the Mail icon but no notification sound. Notification banners, sounds and badges are all enabled. I've tried setting notification sounds off and on again in Mail to no effect.
I'm on iOS 18 on multiple devices and it hasn't in any way impacted notifications. You didn't answer my questions on how you have set up notifications for mail on your iPhone, so I'm not sure how to help you further.

Worked 100% until IOS 18 . I'm not the only one with this problem
I'll make this simple All worked exactly as it should until I installed Ios18. Hope this helps
OK......since you won't answer my question about how you have notifications configured for mail, there's nothing more I can help you with.
Take care.
Silent email notification on my iPhone post iOS 18 update
