Mail Notifications Broken on iOS 18.2?

Is anyone else having issues with Mail notifications on iOS 18.2? I'm only getting notification badges—no banners or notifications on the lock screen. I've double-checked my settings and even disabled notification categories, but still no luck. Screenshots of my settings are included. Any ideas?

Go to settings-notifications-mail-customize notifications and change under badge count to all unread messages. After this, you should get the notification badge.

I have just found a workaround for the issue where even after the notifications remedies are applied, the badge count is still wrong.

I have gone into each inbox (I am running several accounts), selected the "..." menu (top right corner), and selected "List View" instead of the stupid gmail-style categories. This "removes" the weird categories without having to downgrade, and has resolved my problem of incorrect badges to unread emails.

While i have had to do this for each account, this solution works for me (noting I don't love the categories, so i have basically turned them off)
