Only getting emails when I unlock phone?

[RipGroove]

Since IOS 10 I seem to only get email notifications and banners when I actually unlock my screen, I thought nothing of it at first but it's been a few days now and it's too coincidental that it keeps happening.

I use the stock IOS Mail app linked to my Gmail account, which is set to 'Fetch' email every 15mins. With IOS 9 I'd get email notifications every 15mins or so but now with IOS 10 I only seem to get them when I pick my phone up and actually unlock the screen.

This can't be right?

FYI I do have 'push' enabled but I don't believe Gmail supports that so the phone should fall back to my 'fetch' settings of 15mins. These settings worked fine on IOS 9.

I think I may have fixed it, I've found a switch to allow Mail notifications to show on the lock screen. For some reason this was switched off. Hopefully that'll do it.
