Notifications

MailFai can tell you when new mail lands in an Inbox: on your phone and in your browser.

On your phone: the app asks the first time you sign in. Later, turn notifications on under Settings → Notifications, or allow MailFai in the phone's settings. A tap opens the conversation; Archive and Mark as read work right in the notification.

In a browser: Settings → Notifications → Notifications in this browser. The browser asks once; then new mail notifies also while MailFai is closed, until you turn it off or sign out. On an iPhone or iPad this works only with MailFai added to the home screen, and the app is the better way there. Desktop notifications is the simpler kind: a count of new messages while MailFai is open in the background.

What a notification shows (Settings → Notifications): the sender and the subject (the usual), also the first line, the sender only, or New mail only. On a phone it reaches you through the phone's push service, as every app's do; with New mail only, no sender, subject or text goes there.

Notify me about chooses for each account: all new mail, only mail from your VIPs, or nothing. Mail a rule moves out of the Inbox, muted conversations and your own mail never notify, and several messages at once from one account come as one notification.

The number on the app icon is the unread conversations in your inboxes; it follows what you read elsewhere too. Unread count on the app icon turns it off.

Quiet hours: use your phone's own Do Not Disturb or Focus.
