Different mail alerts for each email account

Just got the new Verizon iPhone. Used BlackBerry for years. One feature of the BB that I think is missing from the iPhone is the ability to set different mail alerts for each email account. For instance, I would like to turn off alerts for my corporate Exchange account (for which I get 100 emails a day), but receive alerts for my Comcast and Gmail accounts.
Am I correct that there is only one on or off feature for the iPhone for all accounts?

That turns the account off for receiving mail as you provided, which I'm fairly certain the OP is not interested in.
The OP wants to be able to turn the new mail alert sound off for one account while leaving it on for another account while all accounts are still checked for new messages.

Setting different sound alerts for specific email accounts?

With the new Mail alert settings in IOS 5, it there a way to dedicate a specific New Mail sound alert to individual email accounts?
I use my iPhone for both work and personal email and I'd like know when certain accounts get new mail so I don't have to keep constantly checking all accounts to find out which one was updated.
Thanks

This has been my bane for years with the iPhone. Unfortunately, despite the innovations of iOS5 and the 4s and despite the promises of the engineers and techs, as well as the hype and rumors, once again this simple and important feature, to my understanding, has been left out.
This is frustrating at best. I have 11 email accounts and run 3 business from my phone. I am on the road constantly, this needs to be fixed immediately. Until it is addressed many people like myself are stuck using the inferior blackberry. I hate the blackberry and long for the iPhone but can't and will not move to the iPhone if it means that important emails are missed or that I'm constantly checking the phone for email. With an email volume of 100+ messages dailyboth personal and business I don't need to spend my life or time checking the phone to figure out what is being sent to what account.
The solutions thus far have been to jailbreak the phone (don't recommend nor will I do this) or to download an app. Unfortunately the apps that will provide this feature, all require that the email be sent to a 3rd party (try and explaining that to corporate)

Here: http://www.guidingtech.com/15275/get-different-notifications-per-mail-account-io s-6/
Long and short of it, the settings can be individually changed under Notifications. Select Mail and then the account you want to change the sound to.

Separting inboxes for each email account

I have just begun using Mail.app (because it supports Exchange; I was using Thunderbird). What I don't like, is how my inbox folders for all of my separate email accounts are grouped together under one "Inbox" header -- is there anyway to have the incoming/inbox folder to be grouped with the rest of the folders that correspond with that email account?

is there anyway to have the incoming/inbox folder to be grouped with the rest of the folders that correspond with that email account?
The short answer to that would be 'No'. Besides, there are only a maximum of three folders for each email account, and they are all separate from each other, which is the way it should be.

How do I add a smart mail box for my email account on my iPone?Is that possible?

How do I add a smart mail box for my email account on my iPone?Is that possible?(I mean mail box that sorting specific emails from my inbox)Thankssss.

You can't add a smart mailbox, but depending on your iOS version you can add a server stored mailbox with an IMAP or Exchange account for sorting received and sent messages by category. Not possible with a POP account.

Hi scottyfrank68,
Junk mail filtering can be turned off by going to the Mail menu > Preferences > Junk Mail pane and unchecking the box Enable junk mail filtering. See this article -

Different tones for each email account on iPhone 4s

Can I set up alerts for multiple email accounts? (...

I have two hotmail accounts set up on my Nokia E71.
For some reason I only get alerts for the second account I added.
I have gone through every setting/preferance menu I can think of to see if there's a difference but can find none.
Can anyone think of what I'm missing? If anything, I would have expected an alert for the original email.
I want to make sure I am getting the maximum benefit and use out of this phone and email alerts would be great (I phoned my carrier's tech support and they said the E71 has NO alerts for any mails so that was clearly incorrect)

Are you using the built-in email client?
If you are, double check the "New Email Alerts" option. This is under <Settings> -> <E-mail> -> <choose mailbox> -> <User Settings> -> <New Email Alerts>

Different icons on home screen for each email account?

Good Morning,
I have searched and searched to no avail for an answer to this (simple) question:
Is there any way to have separate mail icons on your home screen for each of your mail accounts?
I have my work/exchange email (knee-jerk response required) and my spam-laden personal account set up on my phone. Everytime my phone "dings" I have to go digging for which account it is. It would be very nice to see right on the home screen which account had mail rather than having them grouped into one cumulative icon.
Note to developers: I'd be willing to pay for this.
Thanks,
Dominic

No such option is available, but a good suggestion for Apple where this must likely originate from.

How to set multiple mail icons on the home screen for each email account?

Hello Everybody,
I have multiple e-mail addresses setup on my iPhone, but only one mail icon on the home screen. Is it possible to have multiple mail icons on the home screen that are tied to each individual email account?
Any information is highly appreciated.
Thanks,

not possible

Can I have separate mail icons for my email accounts?

Is it possible to have separate email icons on my main screen - one for my personal account and one for my work account?

Yes you can. You just have to download the app for that email..... with your Mail app taken by one email you can download a different app that supports your email (ei. Gmail, Hotmail, etc....)

IPhone 4s - We need a separate signature for each email account.

I had no problem with this in WebOS. Makes no sense to have muliple email accounts and not enter a different signature for each.
So far, I've not seen an app worth buying. I thought about changing signature to remove "sent from my iPhone" and changed my mind. I'm leaving it in there to advertise to everyone how limited iPhone is for truly handling personal and business email needs.
I hope Apple figures this out soon!!

As Apple hasn't thought it worth doing for 4 1/2 years I wouldn't hold my breath. The best you can do is put all of the sigs you need into the signature, then delete all but the one you want before sending.

HT204053 Do I need a separate icloud account for each email account?

Do I need a separate icloud account with each email address?

Hi Winston and thank you so much for helping me.
What I would like to do is this. I have 3 email accounts that are important and I use every day so here is where I got messed up in my thinking. I have to select which email to receive my messages. To answer I have to go to each account
as I do not want to share my email accounts names. Can I assign each aol account name to an apple Id and have the messages go to that account only?
Winston, I thank you so much.

How can I set up a unique signature for each email account?

Is Apple kidding me? I can put multiple email accounts on my iPad but they must all have the same signature, bcc settings etc...
That makes this a toy not a tool!
Is there an app for that?
RA

The only work around I can think of would be to use TextExpander. Not the best solution but possibly the only one for now.
