Notification Methods
Notifications use the notification bar, and show a short preview of the email.
BlueMail allows you to control the notifications method per account using Settings | Notifications | [select the account] | Push or Fetch, then choose from five options:
- Instant Push - To get instant notifications.
- Direct Push - To get instant notifications through a direct connection to your email provider.
- Frequent Fetch - To check for new emails periodically.
- No Push - To disable push notifications, but still see emails being updated when opening the app.
- Manual - To do on-demand refresh sync only, and do not get notifications.
If you choose Frequent Fetch you can choose how often you wish to check for new emails.
Please note that currently, only emails arriving in the Inbox will trigger a notification. Notifications for folders other than the Inbox is on our roadmap and may be released in the future.
Customizing Notifications
You can tailor each account to have a different notification scheme, e.g. have different options for work related accounts, and personal / family accounts.
BlueMail allows you to control the notifications per account using Settings | Notifications | [select the account] to access per-account settings:
- Enable Notifications — toggle notifications on or off for this account.
- Push or Fetch — see Notification Methods above.
- If battery optimization is interfering with notifications, a Turn OFF Battery Optimization warning appears here, with a direct link to fix it.
- Incoming Sound — choose the sound played for new mail.
- Private Notifications — control how much detail is shown.
- Vibration — toggle vibration on or off.
- Vibration Settings — choose the vibration pattern and number of repetitions.
- Encrypt Notifications — toggle whether notification content is encrypted.
- Push Services — toggle push delivery for this account.
- Show Account Description — toggle showing the account's description alongside notifications.
- Do Not Disturb — silence notifications for this account.
