Despite the growth of apps like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, we still send over 2.4 billion emails every second (or an eyewatering 74 trillion every year!). Given that, it's easy to see how the email notification on Windows 10 could be annoying.
Thankfully, there is a way to turn of email notifications in Windows 10, though it's not as apparent as it should be. In this short article, we're going to explain how to disable the notifications for good.
How to Turn Off Mail Notifications in Windows 10
To turn off mail notifications in Windows 10, just follow the simple step-by-step instructions below.
- Open the Mail app on your computer.
- In the lower left-hand corner of the window, click on the Settings icon.
- Select Notifications.
- Option 1: Choose the account you want to disable notifications on in the dropdown menu at the top of the screen, then mark the checkbox next to Show a notification banner.
- Option 2: Slide the toggle next to Show notifications in the Action Center.
- Now, open the Windows Settings app.
- Go to System.
- In the left-hand panel, click on Notifications and actions.
- Scroll down to Get notifications from these senders.
- Slide the toggle next to Mail into the Off position.
If you change your mind and want to turn your Mail notifications on again, you can simply reverse the steps we listed above.
Remember, if you use a third-party mail client for Windows (or Microsoft's other official email app, Outlook) the process will differ. You can still use the Settings menu to disable all notifications from a specific app, but you might want to take a more granular level of control. In those cases, you will need to make changes from within each app's individual settings menu.
For more information about making changes on an app-by-app basis, refer to the developer's supporting literature.
