How to configure Outlook email notifications in Windows 10

 Never miss an important email opportunity again.

I expect Outlook to notify you when a new email arrives . If this doesn't happen, you lose fast responses, fast business, quick updates, and instant fun.

Outlook notification banners may not appear in Windows 10 for one of two reasons: Notifications are either disabled or not included in the list of applications that Outlook can send notifications to. Both are easy to fix and can satisfy notifications almost instantly.
