Test if this makes any difference: Go to System Preferences > Notifications - scroll down to Mail Mail alert style: select “Banners’ if you don’t already have this selected. "Banners appear in the upper-right corner and go away automatically. Alerts stay on screen until dismissed” That is how I have Notifications set for most of my applications.
