Not getting Mail or Messages app notifications on my Mac mini

You're welcome. Yea' that or just manually open them after startup.

"I don't get notifications for Mail or Messages: I'm quite new to Mac so it might be a setting I've changed but I don't get notifications for new email or messages. I had a look in the Settings of 'Run in Background' and 'Open at Login' and none of them are there, should they be there? Weather app works okay and that doesn't appear in 'Run in Background' or 'Open at Login' either. I need to know when I get a new email or message on my Mac (latest OS)."

Enabling All Mail Notifications:

1. Go Here: Manage Notifications from Mail on Mac - Apple Support
2. Scroll to: Change new message notifications
3. Proceed from there as necessary

Setting Up Messages on a Mac:

Go Here:

• Set Up Messages on Mac - Apple Support
• Set Up iPhone to get SMS Messages on Mac - Apple Support

Open the Mail and Messages app's, then leave them open.

I don't use Messages, but the same goes for it.
