Hi Guys,
I created some folders and mail rules to better organize my inbox.
However I don’t receive windows notification about new messages in folders.
Does anyone know how to fix it to get notifications?
Best regards
That’s by design, though I’ll admit it’s not obvious: Mailspring only shows desktop notifications for messages that land in an Inbox. When a mail rule (or a server-side filter) files a message straight into another folder, it never counts as “new inbox mail”, so there’s no notification.
Two ways to get what you’re after:
- If it’s a Gmail account, have the rule Apply Label instead of moving the message. The message stays in the inbox (so it notifies) and also gets the label, which is what most people want from “organize my inbox”.
- For plain IMAP folders there’s no way to keep a message in two places, but you can at least see that those folders have new mail: turn on Show unread counts for all folders / labels in Preferences > General and each folder gets its own unread badge in the sidebar.
Full notification settings are described here: Configuring your notifications — Mailspring Documentation
