I have enabled desktop notifications in the New Outlook app. But once I close the app, I don't receive notifications from the app. I have also enabled desktop notifications in the windows settings too. When I open the app, I get notifications of new emails being sent but once I close the app, I don't receive notifications anymore. It is extremely annoying and I have faced this same issue on another device with the same 'New Outlook'. I have faced this for a long time.
I use a Surface Laptop Go with 8GB RAM and
a 10th gen Intel Core i5 with 256 GB storage.
This laptop runs Windows 11 Pro.It was upgarded for Windows 10 Pro recently.

Mozilla Thunderbird
Hi Pat. Thank You. I've been using Mozilla Firefox since Windows 98 SE but when I originally tried Thunderbird as a desktop email client it over powered me with with set up options. I think I'll stay away from this combo. It frightens me. LOL
David.. You're talking rubbish! RaihanKR is talking about the new Outlook that replaced Windows Mail. You're giving him advice about Outlook that is within the Microsoft Office package.

Hi Dean. In David's defense, I think Microsoft's current second email app (formerly Hotmail then Live) should have had a different name, rather than Outlook. It is rather confusing to have two different email app's with the same. Another brilliant move by Microsoft.
Hi Major Buzz. In all fairness too i was searching for answers and i get wound up when so many people just copy and paste other peoples answers when the original answer was wrong. I visited so many forums today and they were all just pasting Davids reply.
I must admit i was a bit abrupt and if he reads this then i oppologise to him. It frustrates me when Microsoft do stupid updates like getting rid of Windows Mail which happened today for me.. I wasn't very keen on using my own Outlook within my copy of Office 2019. I'm not getting any notifacations with this new Outlook even though everything is set correctly within my Windows settings. Also we cannot rename our "Inbox" when we add it to our favourites. But i guess your right about Microsoft and their brilliant moves. :-) Thanks anyway. Good luck always. 👍👍
