  • Weird. I have W10 and Outlook 2013. It works for me out of the box. If the Outlook window is open, the new mail notification shows up in Action /Notification panel.

  • I was able to fix this; I'll be able to post screenshots tomorrow when I have my PC on.

  • Could it have something to do with the fact that I log in using a Microsoft account, so my outlook.com account is all over the place, but my office Exchange account only lives within Outlook?

  • I just noticed that Outlook shows a banner and notification center lights up when new mail arrives, but the action center un-highlights almost immediately. Another mail just came in and appears in action center if I click while the banner is still on the desktop. Click away and close action center clears the notification.

  • I just verified the email's Desktop Banner clears the message from the Action Center when the banner closes. To fix this, go to Notifications & actions, click OUTLOOK 2013, and turn off Show notification banners.
