Fix BlueMail push notifications on OnePlus
Published
Menu names differ between software versions. If a path here does not match your phone, search your Settings app for the setting named in bold — it is the same setting under a different label.
OxygenOS layers two extra optimisations over Android’s, and the one that most often delays mail overnight — sleep standby optimisation — is not in the per-app settings at all.
Set BlueMail to unrestricted
Settings → Apps → App management → BlueMail → Battery usage → Unrestricted (older builds: Battery → Battery optimisation → All apps → BlueMail → Don’t optimise).
Turn off sleep standby optimisation
Settings → Battery → Battery optimisation → ⋮ (three dots) → Advanced optimisation.
Turn off Sleep standby optimisation. It cuts the network while the phone is idle at night, which is why the first mail of the morning often arrives only when you pick the phone up.
Turn off Deep optimisation in the same place if it is present.
Allow auto-launch
Settings → Apps → App management → BlueMail → Allow auto-launch, where your build has it. Without it BlueMail does not restart after a reboot until you open it.
If mail still arrives late
- Lock BlueMail in Recents — OnePlus builds have been known to revert per-app battery settings, and a locked app survives it.
- Re-check these settings after a system update; a major OxygenOS upgrade often resets them.
- Confirm Settings → Notifications → BlueMail is allowed and not silenced.
Push Settings for other devices
ASUS
ZenUI keeps an auto-start manager in Mobile Manager alongside Android's battery optimisation. BlueMail needs clearing in both.
Google Pixel
Pixels run stock Android, so two settings cover it: set BlueMail's battery usage to unrestricted, and stop Adaptive Battery from demoting it.
Huawei, Honor
Set BlueMail's App launch to manage manually and enable all three switches — auto-launch, secondary launch and run in background.
Motorola
Motorola runs close to stock Android: set BlueMail's battery usage to unrestricted and turn off Adaptive battery.
Oppo, realme
ColorOS and realme UI need auto start-up, background running and power saver all set for BlueMail before push arrives reliably.
Samsung Galaxy
Samsung stacks three power savers on top of Android's own. Set BlueMail to unrestricted, keep it out of Sleeping apps, and turn off Adaptive battery.
