Different rings for different email accounts

After reading the manual and playing with the iphone settings, I'm assuming this is a no, but I was wondering if the iPhone can handle "New Mail" notifications differently for different email accounts? I have a high use personal account that I'd like instant notifications and another that I check occassionally.

You read correctly. There is no way at present to designate specific ringers for email accounts. Its one generic sound.

Different tones for each email account on iPhone 4s

I have 2 different email accounts on my iPhone 4s and a different tone set for each account so I know which account I just received an email in. I want to change those tones but I dont recall how to do it. Can someone please help?

Iphone4 : Can I use different ringers for diff email accounts?

Hi, I have just relinquished my beloved Blackberry in favor of my first ever Iphone, the reason being that my home/work computers are macs and I was motivated by the syncing/coherence options.
I have multiple email address for work/personal and have set them up on my Iphone. However, I don't seem able to attribute a specific ringer to each account (which I had previously on my bb), so whenever an email arrives i have the same sound regardless of which account it is, including the one reserved for "junk".
Is it possible to personalize this option on the Iphone4 (NOT the 4S)?
I am finding the iphone much more limited and less user friendly than my bb - I hope my opinion will change with use but so far it seems more annoying and limited than anything else.
Advice would be much appreciated.
thank you

Sorry no, sound/alerts is universal for different email accounts.

How to set different sounds for different events?

Hello I had Xiaomi Mi2s before and I could set different sound for every email account I had, for sms, for facebook and so on. How do I do it on my Xperia? Of course that for example SMS is more important then some facebook comment, so I would like to hear what happened because not every time I want to reach my phone.

Can i have different alert tones for Multiple email accounts?

Would like to have different alert tones for each email account. Is there a way to accomplish it?

Hi there, DawgFan1980!
I understand the purpose of the different notification sounds. The iPhone only allows 1 tone for e-mail accounts. At this time, this cannot be changed.
Thank you,

Can you set different sounds for different incoming email accounts?

Can you set different sounds for different incoming email accounts? Example, I have multiple email accounts on Mail. I would like the sound for my roadrunner account to be different from my .mac and personal website accounts. Is it possible to configure this or is there a script out there that someone knows about.
Thanks

You could choose None in Preferences > General > New Mail Sound and set up a rule for each account in Preferences > Rules as follows:
If [any/all] of the following conditions are met:
[Account] [AccountName]
Perform the following actions:
[Play Sound] [Sound]
Problem is, that would cause the sound to be played for junk mail as well — probably not what you want.

Different signatures for different email accounts?

Is it possible to use different signatures for different email accounts?
thanks.

Thank you Michael S. Indeed that solved the problem - but after 2 years of fighting this and a zillion other inefficiencies, I made the switch to Android. Don't get me wrong - I am NOT an Apple hater, but the lack of customization, lack of features, the inability as an example to attach a file to an Email (when replying or composing an Email) which is what 100% (not 99%) of what business people need, or the access to the file system, has made me run away. And now we are hearing all the problems with iOS 6 that are surfacing. WOW. Not having a single issue with Android. Also switched to the Samsung Galaxy S3 on my phone. What a relief. An extra 64 Meg in SD Card, Removable battery that allows me in less than 1 minute to get another 16 hours (awesome when I am travelling), all the gestures, my only regret is that I did not make that switch earlier. Just my opinion. Still love my iTouch though.,

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.

I've got an iPad and iPhone 4S, both of which are set up for facetime. When someone calls me, both the iPad and phone ring, even though the phone is set to receive facetime calls on the number and the iPad is set for an email account. why is this?

How can I change the setup so on the email only the iPad rings and on the phone number only the phone rings?

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

Multiple different devices and one email account

Hi guys,
Is it possible to receive emails immediately to the ipad or iphone? I know that the settings have to be on push messages which it is but the actual settings for the email account is for fetch only. Does that affect the time that the email gets received on either device? The email account is not an icloud email or the others that are listed as possible options, does this also affect download time?
I know there is an option to link many devices to one account with out affecting any of the devices but I cannot remember how. Assistance in this regard would be much appreciated!
Thanks

An email account must support push access, which is not supported with a POP account.
Push access means as soon as an email is received at the incoming mail server, the incoming mail server pushes the email out without having to automatically or manually check the account for new email, which is Fetch. With Fetch, you can set the Fetch setting to automatically check the account for new email at a designated internal - every 15 minutes or every 30 minutes along with being able to manually check the account for new email in between the automatic check time interval.

Why are there multiple keychain records for same email account?

I have noticed that it takes sometimes up to 45 seconds for Apple Mail to send (whoosh...) an email. Then I started getting an alert asking for my password intermittently.
I checked my KeyChain Access and note 5 records for this email account dating back to 2007 and while the password hasn't changed in all these years, I note the "Where" field is different in some of these records. So my uneducated hunch is Apple Mail is getting a little confused and having to go thru all 5 records insteads of just one.
As note multiple records for other email accounts and website logins I have.
1. Why is this happening?
2. Is it normal
3. Can I, should I, delete all but one for each item be it an email account or web login, etc.
or
Should I delete all 5 and let a brand new one be created for Keychain next time I send or get email for this particular email account?
I also see there is some info on keychain syncing. Does this have anything to do with my situation?
Thx,
Steven

I'm a little distracted with Steve's passing. He will be missed to say the least
But if it isn't too disrepectful to reply at this time, I'm unclear with your advise because there are 5 items all for the same email account. A couple are duplications, and the others have slightly different "Where" info.
I can't imagine I need all 5 and wonder if I should delete 4 and keep the newest one?
All my email accounts have multiple entries.
Anyone know why this is happening and if it's OK to delete the oldest ones and keep just the newest?

I do not receive notifications for my email account even though the email setting in Notifications is turned on. How can I fix this?

In iOS 5 I do not receive notifications for my email account even though the email setting in Notifications is turned on. I do receive other notifications. Does anyone have any suggestion on what is wrong or how I should correct it? Thanks.

Hey M0904,
I found the following information regarding troubleshooting notifications, I'd run through them and see if they resolve the issue:
iOS: Understanding Notifications
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3576
Troubleshooting notifications
Push notifications require an active Wi-Fi or cellular connection. If you are not receiving notifications for a specific app, try these steps:
Verify that the app supports notifications.
After installing an app or restoring a backup to a different iOS device, open the app at least once to begin receiving notifications.
If the app requires entering or logging in to an account, you will need to do this before receiving notifications.
Check Settings > Notifications to ensure that the app is configured for notifications.
If notifications do not appear only in the Notification Center, verify that the Notification Center setting for the app is enabled.
If you are still unable to receive notifications and you are using a Wi-Fi connection, verify that the network or firewall is not blocking access to port 5223.
Have a good one,
David

How do I set individual sound alerts for multiple email accounts?

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.
