This guide concerns the notifications that can be received with the mobile app Infomaniak Mail (app for iOS/Android smartphone or tablet).
To be notified according to the specific email address
The Infomaniak Mail mobile app allows you to manage multiple email addresses and you can choose to receive notifications for only some of your email addresses and not others.
To access the notification settings of the application, refer to point C of this other guide.
Troubleshoot an issue…
… on iOS
Check in the settings of the Infomaniak Mail mobile app that notifications are enabled for the email address in question:
... on Android
On Samsung devices with One UI 6.1 and above, the system settings screen for notifications no longer allows you to specify by default which of your email addresses should trigger a notification.
The solution is to enable the option “Manage notification categories for each application” from the main Android notifications page, by first clicking on “Advanced settings” at the bottom of the window.
Go back to the notification page of the Infomaniak app and you will be able to tap on “Notification Categories” to find the choice of specific notification by email address.
Receive all notifications
If you have enabled notifications for the app on your mobile device, you will receive a notification for each new message that arrives.
Troubleshoot an issue…
If you see a new message arrive in your inbox, but it has not triggered any notification on your device, there may be multiple reasons for this.
- Start by opening the app to make sure it is working, update it if necessary.
- Open another application or turn off the device screen (if the Infomaniak Mail application is open, in the foreground, screen on, the device may not emit any notification).
- Send a new test message to your email address to trigger a notification.
- Is the test message in the inbox? Indeed, a message going to spam or another folder may not trigger any notification.
... on Android
- Have you waited for several dozen minutes? Indeed, quick notifications (like push) require going through a Google service to function, but some devices that do not use Google services (like Fairphone) may receive notifications at much longer intervals.
