Mail app has huge delay between sound and showing notification

I'm currently running High Sierra. For some reason, there's approximately a 10 second delay between hearing the 'ding' notification and seeing the mail notification swoop in, in the top right corner. Why is that?

Notification Issues with Mail - High Sierra I was having an issue in which there was a large delay between the notification sound for received mail, and the notification banner. I followed various suggestions I found in response to others who had had the issue (including turning notifications off and then back on again, and resetting the NVRAM) but now I don't get any banner/alert at all, just the sound! Anyone have any ideas?

No New Mail sound notification in Mail program Hi! I just got a new 2020 Mac Mini, and have noticed that I'm not getting any New Mail notification sound when I get new emails. I do get the whoosh sound when I send an email. All of the settings I can think of have been checked. From what I've read, this has been a common issue with Mail in Big Sur and was just wondering if they had figured out a fix for it yet. Thanks!
