Mail alert tone

I cannot seem to figure out how to change the alert tone for mail. Is there a way? I've heard Other iPhones with different mail sounds but not sure how they did it.

The standard iOS mail app only has two options, no sound, or the default sound. I personally use a third party app that provides push support and custom alert tones for incoming email. The app I use is PushMail.

  • Mail Alert tones not changeable

    The MAil alert tones should be changeable and volume adjustable. One small beep is not sufficient to hear in most environments.

  • New Mail Alert Tone no longer working

    I didn't change any settings and in my preferences, it's still set for the new mail alert tone to sound when I get new mail. However, as of yesterday, it's no longer working. I still get the sound when I send mail out, just not when new mail comes in. How do I fix this?
    Thanks,
    Carole

    Ok, this is weird. This morning my new mail alert tone started working again. I have no idea what made it stop, or what made it come back on.

  • Unwanted mail alert tone

    Have my mail (Yahoo) alert tone set to "none" and I still get a "tweet" sound no matter what. I've tried changing it to different tones and it still just "tweets". What to do???

    Hi This sounds may come from Yahoo direct if it does you can't stop the sound it's not your iPhone settings. Cheers Brian

  • Annonying mail alert tones!

    Lemme just start off by saying I'm super excited to finally get Exchange support on the iPhone. I set it up today and it works pretty well. The 1 thing that bothers me is that new mail message alerts can only be turned off or on for ALL email accounts. I'd like to have the phone audibly alert me when I get when I get mail on my personal accounts (yahoo, gmail, mac) but not on my exchange office mail (since I can get 100's of those a day). Taking it a step further, I'd like to maybe be audibly alerted when I get mail in a specific folder ONLY on my Exchange mails. For example any email that goes in a folder marked "Personal" in my office exchange mail I get alerted for and not the other mail in other folders within that account that I'm getting.
    Not sure if Apple will ever fix this, but I'm sure I'm not the only one having these issues or would like this fix.
    Thanks!

  • Nokia Messaging 6303i classic - no e-mail alerts

    Hi all,
    I have a problem with Nokia Messaging on my new phone - Nokia 6303i classic. The problem is that I can't enable the e-mail alert option - when I tick the "Alert me for new e-mail" option, it says "E-mail alerts not available. Alerts option ot available". My e-mail account is in Gmail. My service provider (VIVACOM, Bulgaria) says that they support Nokia Messaging and that it's up to some settings (which they apparently can't figure out!). I have all the necessary settings to access the internet and the phone browser works great; Nokia Messaging also works - connects to my Gmail account, receives messages, the only problem is with new e-mail alerts.
    I know 6303i doesn't support multitasking - could the problem be related to this (e-mail client unable to run in the background)?
    I used a Nokia 2330 before and it had a native e-mail client with far more capabilities - no problem with e-mail alerts, could edit (copy/paste) received e-mail body text (a very useful function which lacks in Nokia Messaging!) - can I get that on my 6303i instead of Nokia Messaging?
    Phone firmware version: V10.80/21-01-11/RM-638
    Nokia Messaging version: 1.3.49
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    N. Y.

    I recieved an update from Nokia support center. For everyone wondering, here's the deal, as far as I get it 6303i comes with embedded Nokia messaging application instead of the usual s40 native e-mail client; that's why there's no e-mail alert tone option in the profiles' settings. However, when you try to enable e-mail alerts from inside the Nokia Messagign application, you get an error message stating that this option is unavailable. What I could make out is that, as s40 doesn't support multitasking, Nokia Messaging can't be left running in the background and therefore can't alert you on new e-mails. As I see it, it's a design failure.
    Nokia, if you couldn't make Nokia Messaging e-mail alerts work in s40, why didn't you just leave the good old native e-mail client, for crying out loud???!!!

  • E71 Different email alert tones

    Can anyone tell me if it's possible to have different alert tones for different email accounts? I have three email accounts set up on my E71 but when I get an alert, I never know which account it is so I have to check all three, which is a bit annoying. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    There is a single mail alert tone in the tone settings, all accounts are therefore limited to that one choice, unfortunately.

  • Mail alert choices

    hello all, I was wondering if it is possible to have a different mail alert sounds to help identify specific emails when they arrive. Is this something that might be possible from a app? Thanks for any help and advice.

    Unfortunately, there is no choice regarding mail alert tone and none was announced for the 3.0 firmware. Also, no 3rd party app can supply this since the iPhone OS doesn't allow access to core phone functions. You can request this, and maybe it will eventually be added:

  • How can i use a ringtone file as an alert? ( New mail, Text tone )

    I got a file i want to use as an alert tone for New mail, but it is a .m4r file. I want to use it as a New Mail sound. But when i tried to use it, it just uses the previous alert tone i had selected.. Spell.

    I understand, where did you try changing it? In the Settings > Sounds?
    Try changing it here:
    Settings > Notifications > Mail > select the mail account > New Mail Sound

  • Louder tones for ringing, text and e-mail alerts

    How can I increase the sound settings to make the ring tones, text & e-mail alerts louder? I have used the rocker switch on the side to turn up the volume to the max but I still miss calls and alerts. No I am not deaf either!! I am sure other users must face the same dilemma. Thanks. Colin.

    i hate to point this out but with 1.1.4 and a non-hacked phone you can make custom ringtones for incoming calls - you have a selection of built in sounds for text msgs but no way of adding custom ones - for the other alerts you can just turn them on or off - you cant chose the sound they make

  • Different e-mail alerts for different contacts

    Can I have only certain e-mails alert me with a tone and let all others remain silent in iOS5? I use my phone for work and want to assign e-mails from specific people to audibly alert me and let all the rest remain silent so I'm not bothered by unimportant e-mails. My old Blackberry let me do this for years but so far can't get my iPhone to do it. Is this available with iOS5?

  • 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.

  • IPad Air Mail alert sound

    Hi,
    I have an iPad Air with the most current OS 8.2. My selected mail alert sound does not work.  All I get is a basic ring tone. I can select another one but the selected sound isn't played when new mail arrives. The iPad Air is less than a year old and the sounds works fine with the os installed at purchase, I think it was 7.1.2.
    Thank you for any insight and help with this.
    Artie

    Hi Arthur,
    If you are having issues with your being unable to use any other alert sound for your incoming mail, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    Force an app to close in iOS
    Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPad -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPad as a new device -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
