Windows 8.1 Preview Bugs: Mail App Notifications Not Working

The Mail app is one of the apps that got improved as part of the 8.1 update cycle, but it appears that some users are now experiencing issues with it.

According to a post on Microsoft’s support forums, notifications are no longer available for the Mail app on Windows RT 8.1 and reinstalling doesn’t seem to help.

“Ever since I installed Windows 8.1 RT Preview to my Surface, the Mail App's push notifications have stopped working. I've tried everything I could think of. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app, I've triple-checked the permissions to make sure the app is allowed to push notifications, but even with the permission on, nothing,” one affected user explained.

Microsoft is expected to fix all these common issues by August, as the RTM version of the operating system is set to go live sometimes next month.
