Yes I have, it didn't help. Could you please test this on your end with a Gmail account in the windows mail app? I'm not sure if this is a universal issue or not.

      Thanks for testing. So you receive email alerts from Gmail in your Mail app even when Mail app is closed?

       

      If yes, could you please check something for me?

      In your online Google Security settings, do you have 2-step verification enabled and does it show "Email on Windows" when clicking the App Passwords? Please see the attachment for details on how to see this.

        No, mail for Windows10 does not require( application password ) there are no notifications - because I always disable this application in the background.
        The mail application for Windows10 is classified as safe , so you do not need to confirm the 2FA account, if it is a personal computer , in the organization it depends on the administrator settings.
