One Email Notification to Rule All Emails

Coming from a OG Moto Droid to Bionic so everything has been pretty thumbs up with this new phone.  I did notice what seems to be an oversite from the designers/coders.  If you sync a exchange email account and a POP email (like I do) or probably any two email accounts (except Gmail), all email (again except Gmail) gets assigned the same email notification ringtone.  This is pretty annoying on a phone that was delayed to market, and cost me $300.  Hopefully this is just an oversite by someone but I wanted to make sure I pointed this out in an official forum so that it can be fixed in future updates. 
Of course if anyone has a solution I'm all ears...would love to hear two different ringtone notifications for my two different email accounts.  Right now they are all getting the "WORK EMAIL!" alert.  I just confirmed that this is an issue at the store, my OG Moto did this very easily but for some reason (while I get two different icons notifications in the status bar) the ringtone alert has been combined for all non Gmail accounts. 
Thank you for any help you can provide.

BionicDroider, thanks for posting and congrats on your new device! I understand why you would want to have separate email notifications for your work and personal email accounts. This is not something that was just overlooked or a design flaw for the Bionic. This is how Android is designed. Any emails in the default email application will have the same notification sound. You can try 3rd party mail applications from the Market for other options. 
This is not the way Android is designed, my ORIGINAL DROID could perform this simple (but important) function and is a total step backward.  My 4G Dual Processor Machine to Rule All Machines can't tell the difference between my email accounts?  This a totally BOGUS response and very disapointing.  This machine can do better and I expect this to be fixed.  
Thanks to the other forum members for suggesting apps to fix this.  Fortunately this is an open platform so the market can correct this.

  • Notifications for just one email account?

    hi all.
    I have many email accounts, including one that was set up to push time-sensitive email messages to me.
    I don't need notifications for any of the accounts except for the time-sensitive account (which is a gmail push account).
    does anyone know how to enable Mail Notifications (Lock Screen and Alerts) for just one email account?

  • How do i move all of my email folders to remote disk, not one email at a time?

    How do i move all of my email folders to remote disk, not one email at a time?

    Do the contacts that are not in iCloud belong to an external account such as Gmail, Yahoo or an Exchange account?  Or, do they belong to On My iPhone?

    I guess you could try but I don't believe Apple can help with activation lock issues.  They may, however, be able to determine if the Apple ID belongs to one of you and reset the password for you if you can prove your identity.
    You might want to try calling Apple by going to https://expresslane.apple.com; click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'.  In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.  Perhaps they can help determine if it's your ID and reset the password for you (and they probably have more expertise in doing this than the Apple store).

  • Numerous notifications for one email

    When I recieve one single email it alerts me 2 and sometimes 3 times.  Why is this?  It is kind of annoying.  Also, some text messages that I recieve come in 2 and 3 times.. the exact same message.  Anyone know why?

    Sorry for the confusion everyone..  Let me break it down..
    Email
    - When receiving one single email, I am being notified 2 to 3 times for that one single email.  What I'm saying is my phone chimes 2 to 3 times for one email alone.  I have no forwarding set up.  Gmail exchange is all I am using.  The iCloud account is just there and is not being used.
    Text
    - Say I recieve one specific text from one person, that one particular text is coming in 2 and 3 times.  The same exact text.. usually about an hour apart.
    Thanks again for everyones feedback.  While I have your attention I have one more issue if you can help. Sometimes when I hit the sleep/wake button to wake my phone the screen will flicker ( go black, then back on again.. maybe multiple times before it acutally stays lit)  is this an issue or anything to worry about?  This is my first iPhone, so I am new to all of this.
    Thanks again!

  • Email notification works for one email address fails for another

    Hi,
    I have OEM 10.2.0.3 - one email address works fine, but another fails with message
    [email protected]: Test failed with message: "E-mail Address is invalid: Sending failed; nested exception is: javax.mail.SendFailedException: Invalid Addresses; nested exception is: javax.mail.SendFailedException: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay"
    Now the weired thing is, that using the same SMTP gateway, I can send emails ok to this address via outlook etc.
    Anyone any ideas ? The xxxxxxxxxx in the address is actually a mobile number, but, as I say, it IS valid.
    Cheers

    Thanks for the reply, however, this is what I dont understand.
    The SMTP server is the same one I use for our email, ie, it is our exchange server, and from outlook, I am able to send email
    to the same address that is failing with EM. I'm not aware I need any authentication, or how it would need authentication only
    for external accounts ?
    you are correct howver, that it is an external account, and the same test fails for any external account. I'm just not sure how to fix this ?
    A manual session connecting to the SMTP server is as follows
    telnet smtp_server_name.com.au 25

  • How do I select more than one email address on a Contacts card. I did it before but trouble with Yosemite

    Cannot select more than one email address at a time from Contacts. Before I upgraded to Yosemite, I could view all mail addresses in "All Contacts" and select multiple or single email addresses by "command and tap" for mail. Now I have to open each card and select one address at a time. I don't want to create groups just want to select the addresses I need at the time.

    i dont pay for hosting at all.. i just pay every two years to keep my domain name and with that i get free email forwarding and web forwarding... so i can create email addresses but need to forward them to somewhere else...
    i forward them to one of the POP3 email addresses i was given by my ISP...
    in entourage i set up two email accounts on the one identity so i can send email from the ISPs email or from my domain name email... now if someone sends me an email to my domain name email i get it twice... it only does this on my new mac though, it didnt do it on my old one...
    if i stop forwarding my emails then where will they go? i dont think ill get them, will i?
    very confused!

  • HT201320 How can I switch from one email user to another?

    How can I switch from one email account to another?

    You have to select between the two accounts in the mail app.
    Say for instance that you are reading an email in your XYZ email account. Tap the button in the upper left corner of the mail app to back out all the way to where you can see all of the email accounts.... Tap InBox, then tap XYZ email Account and that will take you back to the main MailBoxes window.
    Is that what you want to know? There is no way to simply "toggle" between the two accounts.

  • How to email multiple pictures in one email?

    While doing a search on this topic I found answers from 2007 that this was not possible. (That is almost the year when iPhone was released.) So what about now?
    PS. Let me give you a simple scenario. My friends and I went out last weekend. I want to send them, say, 10 photos from my iPhone. Some of them are on Androids so they can't use photo library sharing. I don't want to use social networking sites due to pictures being private. I thought that attaching those pictures to an email would be the easiest solution, but I can't seem to figure out how to send them all in one email. My only option is to send out 10 emails

    You can send multiple photos with one email.  what you do is open the camera roll and when all the thumbnails appear tap on edit then tap on the photos you want to send and then tap share.  I think there is a limit on the number you can do that way and it is about 5.  If you want to do more you can start your email then minimise the email app open camera roll, tap edit, tap the phot you want then tap share then tap copy, go back to your email app and paste and repeat the process until you have them all
