Different sounds for different email accounts ?

Could you please add a feature to the iphone4 OS where you can customize the ringtone, or sound, for different mail boxes.
I have numerous email accounts attached to my iphone4, and some email accounts are much more important than others.
1) Do the developers intend on introducing different ring tones or sounds for different events ?
2) Is this even possible to do?
3) What about different ring tones for different people?
The blackberry did a wonderful job at this, and honestly I'm really not liking that you cant customize the sounds.

Please add a feature where you can change the notification sound/tone of incomming mail dependent on which mail account recieves email.
I was honestly shocked that this feature wasn't already implemented, BlackBerry has had it for many years now. The reason I'm requesting this is because I work as a volunteer emergency rescue technician (volunteer firefighter) and part of the notification process for an emergency is that we get pages which can be sent to a pager & an email account. Now my problem is that I have numerous email accounts programmed into my iphone 4, and I get emails all day long, day or night. I've had to disable the sounds because it wakes me up all the time.
If there were customizable notifications (like customizable ringtones) per email account, then at least I could be waken up at night for an emergency (which I should be) as opposed to some junk mail. I'd love to be able to get rid of my pager again and reduce the hardware I carry around.
Thank you for your time,
I look forward to hearing news about this

    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 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.

  • Droid 3:  Use different sounds for different email accts?

    After owning a Blackberry for 5 years, I recently got a Droid 3.
    I have 3 email accounts on my Droid 3:
    Gmail
    Cox (a pop account)
    Work (a corporate sync account--MS Exchange)
    Gmail has it's own notification sound.
    Cox & Work share a notification sound.  I really need my work to have it's own notification sound.  For the life of me I can't figure this out.  I found where I can change the sound, but any change I make also applies to the COX account.
    Is it possible to have a POP & CORPORATE SYNC account have 2 different ring tones?
    Any help is much appreciated!

    If you use K9 or Touchdown for your exchange account, I believe that it possible then.
    It sounds like you are using the Mail application for both accounts and that app will share a notification tone across all accounts added to it.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Is it possible to play different sounds for emails and instant messages ?

    Hello,
    I was wondering if it was possible to play different sounds for emails and instant messages. I am using Thunderbird quite often with both emails and instant messages imported from Gtalk.
    I think it would be very convenient to be able to distinguish both sounds as they do not imply the same things.
    Thank you very much.

  • 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.,

    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.

  • 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.
