Will this ever get addressed?

Here's the same topic for iOS

Can't be that there isn't an option to turn on notification for new mails in sub-folders by now and that heading to other apps and mail-providers is the only solution?!

It's been 5 years!!!! Wow. Amazing. Still an issue. I mean they obviously don't care about this app. I'm looking for alternatives.

  Hi there!
  
  1. Select any mail and after right click on that go to rules and then manage rules and alerts. Screenshot below -
  2. After that in "EMAIL RULES", select all the rules using shift+down arrow key. They go to change rule, and now select play a sound. After that a folder will open where you have to select the tune for the same. Select that and apply the rule.
  3. Now you are all set to get notification for all the subfolders on your phone.
  
  Just try once. Thank you.
