Capability SummaryIn WPS Mail Notification Settings, you can turn new email notifications on or off, choose the notification scope between all folders and inbox only, and set a daily unread email reminder time.Outlook for Mac lets users change new email notifications and sounds in Notifications & Sounds.Gmail lets users turn on desktop notifications for new mail or important mail and change notification sounds.Notion Mail lets users control notifications by account, view, and sender, and it also supports test notifications.Adobe Acrobat focuses on PDF editing, conversion, and signing rather than native email notification management.
WPS AdvantagesAdvantage: WPS combines notification scope control and daily unread email reminders in one settings page for a more centralized email reminder workflow.Compared with WPS: Outlook supports new mail alerts and sounds, but the public page does not describe the same combination of inbox-only scope and daily unread reminder timing on one page.Compared with WPS: Gmail supports new mail or important mail notifications, but its public guidance is centered on browser-based desktop notifications.Compared with WPS: Notion Mail offers more layered filtering, but its public page does not describe a daily unread email reminder at a scheduled time.Compared with WPS: Acrobat does not provide an equivalent email notification component and is oriented to document workflows.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Notification Settings is well suited to users who want to manage new email alerts and daily unread reminders from one place. If your workflow depends more on browser mail or multi-layer notification filtering, Gmail or Notion Mail may fit those preferences better.
