Notifications/Sound Alerts
It would be more convenient if the app notified the user with a sound when he/she receives a message. Also, the app could display the number of unread messages the user has (when the app isn't open).

I use OWA for work and find I am not noting email in a timely manner due to the lack of notification. I got email notifications with OWA on my iPhone but when I switched over to android I no longer have the option for email, only calendar

Add notifications for incoming mail, and for ALL folders, please!

I don't know what you are all on on about, in settings go to OWA and there are some adjustments there.

I totally agree, there need to be separate notification options for email and calendar.

Please allow for separate notification options for email and calendar. I am receiving notification icon and sound for emails and calendar. I can turn off calendar notification sounds or icon, but for email there are no options. I get *a lot* of work email, at all hours of the night, and while I would like to see an icon indicating new mails, I don't want a chime when each comes in. Calendar entries, on the other hand, I'm fine with icon and sound, or just icon.

I cannot disable the notifications on Android. I only get the option to disable the calendar notifications but nothing about my phone vibrating every time I get an email.

There should at least be badges to notify you of new emails. Although I have the notification feature turned on, I only get notifications of calendar reminders. This is my work email on my personal phone, so notifications would be helpful. I have a iPhone 5s and am running iOS 8.4. The email notifications do not work when the app is open in the background or closed.

Is there any movement on this? Notifications/Sound alerts will be very helpful in a work environment! Please!

The complete lack of usable notifications is a major downside to this app. Makes it almost pointless.

One one simple thing an email client should be able to do is TELL ME when I get an email. So sad.

My appointments used to pop-up and remind me i.e. 1 day before of whatever time I had set. This has now stopped and I have never received any notification of emails. Both pretty essential I think.
However, this is the only Microsoft email app for Android that will update all of my Exchange folders (rules set to redirect emails on receipt) which I might add the new Outlook app with the 2 inboxes never managed. This could be such a great app please Microsoft make it so!
