I'm looking for an email client for my iPhone 10xs Max because the one I have as stock email on my iPhone doesn't alert me of new emails. I also have an Apple watch 5 and I know that the iPhone doesn't alert when you're wearing an Apple Watch apart fromHaptics on the Apple Watch but I get neither even no alert on the iPhone when the lock screen is down. I have used Spark but that has even stopped alerting o my AW now and messages are the same as emails I've described, even Apple can't fathom it out. So can anyone here either help me get them sorted or at least send me the name of an email client that supports AW also.

Ever consider the issue may be more watch related than which email application you’re using?

Yes, but when I've left my watch off the iPhone doesn't alert me when the lock screen is on of emails nor messages. The reason I requested an email client was if I can get alerts from haptics (at least) I'd get alerts of new emails.

Do you have notifications turned on on your phone for the stock mail app?

To be clear, you want an email program that alerts you on the watch and iPhone that you have new mail, even if you are wearing your watch?
No, I want an email client that at least if I'm wearing my watch i'll get haptic alerts if I don't get any from my iPhone when not wearing my AW

I am having trouble understanding what you want, as you have said two different things to me.

The stock mail app settings on the iPhone not provide vibration feedback for new mail. It does allow for audible alerts for new mail, as do many other third party mail apps. There may be a third party mail app that offers vibration alert for new mail, albeit i am not familiar with any.

I want an email client that I can tell from the Haptics that I have an email arriving even though I am not getting an audible alert from my iPhone,
