No subfolder push notifications for mail iOS 12

I receive notifications only from the inbox, but not from the subfolders.

Anyone having the same problem?

Does somebody know how to solve the problem?

The workaround is to add the sub-folder (for which you want notifications) as an additional mailbox like described below

Iphone mail not showing notifications Hi, I have rules in my mail app that moves incoming mails to specific folders as soon they arrive. The problem is that in my iPhone I am not getting notifications when a new email arrives. I have to open the mail app in the iPhone to see if there is new emails. I noted that this issue is only present for those folders that get the emails depending the rules, the emails without rules or the one that arrive to the incoming box and are not moved to another folder are triggering notifications. Is this a normal behavior or is there a setting to get notifications even when a email moves to a specific folder following the rule settings? Best regards Americo

why am I not receiving notifications on my iPhone 13 when they are set to notify me? I just purchased my iPhone 13 Pro. I have notifications turned on to receive a preview for my Outlook emails (my business email), but the notifications do not come through. I only receive an audible notification on my MacBook Pro. How can I set the notifications to appear on my iPhone also?

Not Receiving Push Notifications of Email I have an iPhone SE running iOS 14.2. My mail app is not fetching new emails or sending notifications until I actually open the app. Even if I've received 20 emails over the course of a day, I'll get no notifications, and the number bubble on my Mail app icon won't change. If I open my Mail app, any and all new emails appear instantaneously and I get the notification at that moment. In Settings>Mail>Accounts>Fetch New Data I have "Push" set to on. The relevant email account set to "Fetch." And the fetch setting is set to "Automatically." Something interesting is that the Mail app is not on the Background App Refresh list in General settings. Should it be? I would think so, but there doesn't appear to be an "Add App" option in the Background App Refresh settings, nor is there any kind of "Background App Refresh" toggle within the Mail app settings. Why isn't my Mail app fetching new emails or sending notifications until I open the app? Any help or ideas would be much appreciated.
