Customizable Email Filters w/ Alerts - App Failure!

Does this make the iPhone almost useless to anyone else? I would expect after the amount of time that the iPhone has been out that the developers would have added some sort of feature to create custom alerts for emails using filters.
I work for a large corporation and use my phone as a pager to wake me up when I get certain emails or pages.
I recently purchased an iPhone to use as my work phone only to find that there is no way to do this other than an app like MailTones which requires that you forward your emails through their server which I do not feel comfortable doing. This should be a built in feature!
Does anyone know if this is going to be added, or if it is even being considered for the future?

You are correct that I should have checked into it a bit more and there are various ways around it that I can use such as setting alerts to all of the messages in my inbox to wake me up but that will wake me more than I would like.
There are others in our company using their iPhone as their work phone/pager and it works for them but I guess our group is more attentive to some of the alerts we get. If I wait long enough, these alerts can turn into a real problem and I will get a call from our Network Operations Center. I would simply like to avoid the NOC ever knowing that there is an issue. We like to fix things before they impact users.
I for for a major news company. We support the application layer of functionality that is behind everything that gets videos, stories, content, etc... to the public and onto the web or TV.
We have automated monitoring systems that send us alerts which we filter prior to getting them on the iPhone. So even being able to make one folder alert differently from another would be sufficient.
I'm sad to hear that we do not have any official apple support on this forum. I was in hopes of hearing from a developer or someone of the like...
Don't get me wrong, I love the iPhone. I have a Pre as my personal phone and I love them both but it just seems that they would have added this feature by now. Also being able to mark all messages as read seems like a elementary feature that should be included.

Customizable Email Filters w/ Alerts in IOS8?

Hi, I have an iphone5s which I bought after I lost my BB10 powered Z10. On the Z10, there was an app that let me customize alerts according to filters I could set, either according to email address of the incoming email, or things like text strings found in the body or subject. To some degree you could do this in the OS as it came.
I have an online business for which I need to know about specific communications during the day, but don't want to be distracted by all of them. For example, one email account might receive messages with "contact form" in the subject from my "info@[mywebsite]", and I want to hear a specific alert for this. Another address receives two forms of communication from a specific email address (the payment gateway). One is the daily settlement report. The other is whenever a transaction fails. I want to play different alerts according to the text in the email -- ie, does it contain "settlement report" or does it contain "transaction failed"-- and play different alerts depending on the situation. I also have a few customers who are volunteering to be "testers" who send feedback and others who are special cases for whom I often need to review their orders before they get filled by some other people. I need to intercept these.. if only I could play an alert according to the text "order #" for example, or a regular expression in general.
I'm really surprised that in 2014 I could not find a way to do this in IOS7 and I'm hoping that Apple will start adding feature conducive to business. I can't imagine holding out any longer when I upgrade in a few months. Apple if you're listening, what wins me over are features and the ability to customize. These are so easy to implement, why not just do it? I'm such a low-hanging-fruit easy sale if you would just copy what's been done already on BB and Android. Please support filtering according to regular expression filter syntax

This is a user-to-user support forum and not the best way to give a request or suggestion to Apple. You may want to make the suggestion at: https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

Husband and Wife sharing iPad; possible to have two accounts w / separate logins? (or two separate email accounts using native apps)

Each of us wants to check email, have our own bookmarks, own apps, etc.
Logging in and out of certain apps like email seems like it would be a hassle, especially for my wife. Email is probably the biggie here, but web browsing is also a potential issue.
We have our Mac set up like this, and was hoping there was some type of "switch user" feature on the iPad so we wouldn't delay logins (when you open the cover) but we would be able to each have our own "look and feel" to the device.
Seems like a no-brainer, but have done some searching and sounds like this is a no-go. Workarounds are probably not going to work as my partner is not technically inclined.
At the very least, we'd like to both be able to check email using the native app (without a lot of fussing to log in / out, typing long passwords etc).
Possible?

Thanks.
Privacy is not the issue, rather the issue is ease of use and keeping a healthy marriage. She hates it when I change the settings (or background image, etc etc) and I hate not being able to customize the user experience to fit my needs.
We do share a laptop and use two separate user accounts. I'm very surprised that multi-user capability is not built into iOS. Bummer. Kindle is getting toasted in the press for this. Seems iPad is no better.

Email Filters and Sent messages

Love my new Curve 8310 with AT&T, I'm having a problem with setting up email filters, I tried to set them up with my yahoo account and now I recieve a Yahoo Alert msg that states I got a message from someone that I had already set up a filter for NOT to recieve. I tried setting up the blackberry email service and it asks me if I recieved a password, which I did not. How do I do this??
Also, some of my messages that I thought I sent have not been sent, how do I access my sent msgs? I went to email options and the sent messages are not supposed to be hidden.
If anyone can help me, I would be forever grateful, my phone goes off constantly with useless emails now and it's driving me crazy@!!!!!!!

I downloaded the" tones rings and alerts app.' I am unable to figure out how to get them downloaded to my phone. It is to small to read on my i-phone. I am unable to get any help when I bring it up through i tunes. I downloaded a CD and want to use some songs as a ringtone.

Just to add, i have also set up the two email addresses and verified them within my icloud account, but still no sync to my iphone or showing on the icloud account...

Cannot send email from the Mail App?

I've had an izymail subscription for 1 year and just renewed it last week. I could never send an email from my Mail App without a window popping up stating "izymail cannot connect to the server" and the sending bar (along the bottom of the screen) just freezes and will not send.
I've a Hotmail account linked up to izymail. Anyone know how to fix this problem?

I fixed my problem - I deleted my email account on my iPhone, then tried to setup a new account. I had a few problems setting it up. It wouldn't recognize the incoming or outgoing servers and I lost my email altogether for a few hours. Then I changed every setting possible and finally figured out that I had 2-3 "Other SMTP Servers" as well as my "Primary Server". Once I deleted the Other SMTP Servers, my email worked and i'm able to send emails now!
I also think changing the "Server Port" number helped solve my problem also, and making sure "Use SSL" was turned off.

The iPad's Mail app has no provisions for creating groups. However, you can use a third party app that many users recommend.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

TS3899 When sending email from the Mail App or through other Apps, my default From: address will change when I enter a To: address. This sometimes leads me to send the email from the wrong outgoing email account. It is frustrating and poor design.

3rd party email addresses have to be deleted on every synmced mac product, although I have 1and1.co.uk and my imac updatetes the mails in that account from mac mail.
Yahoo etc is a 2 step deleting process but good to get your emails pushed when on the go.

Code snippet to send email from an iPhone App

Hi,
I have tried to look under the SDK documentation but have not found any pointer. I know how to use Mail.app to send email on a desktop app but how do I do this from iPhone.
Thanks!

Sending email from the iPhone is as simple at setting up the account in Mail on the phone.
Attachments are a different story. The only attachments that can be sent from the iPhone are photos taken with the camera, safari links, notes and you tube links. Each of these attachments are initiated from their parent program (photos, safari, notes, youtube, etc) rather than Mail itself.
What attachment are you trying to send?

My 16gb iPhone 4S keep tell me that my storage is almost full and I don't have enough space for any upgrades. I don't have any music or videos on my phone. I deleted all old emails, texts, contacts and apps but still nothing. When I check my settings, I noticed that my Instagram is at 732mb and it keeps rising. Now it's at 814mb. Please help!!!!!

What is the precise wording of the message that is occurring?
Are you attempting to update via iTunes on a computer or over the air on the device?
How much free space is actually on the device?
If updating via iTunes on the computer, how much free space on the computer?

Have problem setting Email alerts for Calendar events. Warning message says I need to set up a card in Contacts with my email. I do but it doesn't recognize it. How do I indicate the email I want alerts sent to?

The system of setting up email alerts for Calendar events worked fine in Snow Leopard but since I upgraded to Mt. Lion Calendar won't let me set email alerts. When I try, I get an error message saying I need to set up a card in Contacts for my email. I have a card set up in Contacts for both of my email addresses but it doesn't recognize them. Perhaps the name I have on the card doesn't match a name that Calendar is looking for. Calendar doesn't seem to have a way in Preferences or elsewhere to indicate the email I want alerts sent to. Any ideas how I can get this system working again? Thanks for your help.

You might want to consider starting a new discussion. Since this one is marked solved, less people are likely to look at it. You can link to this one.
See if another contact is marked as this is my card.

PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon in my dock was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted all my emails in my Outlook inbox.

PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon that is in my dock, that I know nothing about, was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted ALL my OUTLOOK emails in my inbox. Can someone please please tell me if there is a way to get my Outlook inbox emails back OR EVEN the emails that were in my Mail app - because even tho I never use the Mail app, at least the emails would be there.
When I was trying to delete the emails in my inbox for the Mail app - I followed THESE directions. It did in fact clear my inbox for the Mail app. But then I went to log on to my Outlook account and EVERY SINGLE EMAIL was gone. And not in the Deleted box. Just gone. Here are the directions I followed that screwed everything up. Please help.
Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors.
Uncheck "Store deleted messages on the server".
At the drop list for "Permanently erase deleted messages when", choose "Quitting Mail".
Next...
Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > General.
At "When searching all mailboxes, include results from", uncheck "Trash".
Select All = command A

i found out my prob!
here is what you do.
go to the "system preferences" on your dock.
click "software updates".
click "installed software"
if it shows something about a recent update about "EFI UPDATE, FIRMWARE, THUNDERBOLT" or anything like that, exit out of it.
go to mail.
click "mail" at the top.
click "preferences...".
find the account you are having trouble with, once you do, make sure its highlighted, then click the "-" at the bottom of the window (this will only effect that mail account, it will not effect your ical weather or not its synced thought that email account)
hit the "+" (right next to the "-") and add your accout back!
its something with that update that effected mail, i hope this works out for you, if not reply back

Email and SMS Alerts - Solution Manager - PI and EP

Hi All,
I am trying to do the below scenario.....But somehow i am lost in the process.
I have a three system PI landscape and a Solution Manager. I have included the DEV PI in solution manager for CCMS,the CCMS agents are online and it also reflects in RZ20.
Now the requirement is SOLMAN should send email and sms alerts in below situations which occur in PI system.
1.The ABAP or JAVA engine goes down.
2.One of the filesystem crosses certain predefined limit.
3.Any of the java server node stops working
4.If any critical job gets cancelled in sm37
I am looking at steps on how to define the alert categories, auto reaction methods, also the nodes where i have to assign these auto reaction methods.
I have gone through CCMS documentations, played all sim files and gone through most of the pdf files but i am not able to establish proper steps to do it.
I am Redhat Linux,Oracle 10g, SOLMAN 7 with PI7
Can i extend the same for the EP systems also which are pure Java Stack Systems ?
Also i would like to know if i can send customized alert messages.
Best Regards
Raghu

Hi Juan,
Thanks for your response.
I am looking at the MTE classes i.e for the above situations which MTE classes are required.
Also i have read in some document that we can send the alerts directly to the email IDs and cell numbers without having to mention them in user masters in SU01. Where to mention these ?
I have my SCOT settings done for email servers.
The process which i had built up in my mind is all mixed up and i am lost where to do which configuration
Best Regards
Raghu

Step 3 Click Apply to save the customized e-mail subject attributes.
Note: Other than this you will not be able to customize any thing, User-defined fied option will not work.
I hope this will help
Thanks

I am looking for an application that would allow me to open a word doc, and take notes in the .doc using a stylus pen. I'd then like to convert those notes to text, and then be able to copy / paste those notes into an email. Does this app exist?

It seems like we were doing these same types of things with Palm Pilots years ago, one would think this would work with iPads?

I don't believe it will open a Word document, but Writepad allows for handwritten conversion of notes to text and then to email. Might help you some of the way...
