Preview new emails, alerts, or alarms ala SMS?

Is there a way for an incoming alert to temporarily display on my screen ala SMS? I would like to see what the buzz is for instead of having to turn on the phone, unlock the screen, etc. Any ideas?

I'm going to assume that's a no?

Thanks for your reply, but I had already turned the sound off there. I also removed email from the notifications shortcut on the top right of the screen.

I am not receiving new email alerts on iphone 4s. I have powered down and also deleted the email account and reset all notification. I have to manually fetch all emails

Please help with new emails. I am not receiving new email notification. I have to manually fetch all emails. I have contacted Apple several times. I have powered device all the way down, reset me.com. My me.com account works great on Mac. Please help

So all email notifications were not coming thru...from any source. Talked to another Apple text and he advised me to shut down the multitask bar at the bottom. So far so good. Seems kind of strange because the problem had only started about a month ago. I've had the phone since August

How do I stop calendar from emailing alerts to me.

This was never an issue on ios 7, but as soon as I upgraded to ios 8 I started getting a ton of new emails alerting me to upcoming events.
I use Google calendar, and I have Google email me alerts for certain events, and I still want those. But I do not want the ones coming from Apple Looking at Google calendar. I am not sure if these new emails are coming from my phone or my Yosemite imac.
Thoughts?

i am getting getting three emails from each event. One from Google, and two from Apple devices. I suspect I am getting one email from my iPhone and one from my imac. It happened just now, and the instant my iPhone popped up an alert, I received one of the Non Google emails. About thirty seconds after that I received a second Apple email.
By Apple email, btw, I mean an email I believe was generated by an Apple device. All the emails actually come from my gmail address.

Setting up a ring tone to getting a new email

i have an aol email address and wanted to know if my iphone would ring everytime i get a new e-mail and if i can how do i set it up? thanks

Ring with a ringtone, no. You can set Settings > Fetch New Data to Fetch every 15 minutes, and make sure Settings > Sounds > New Email Alert is set to ON, and you'll hear the default new email sound and see a badge (red dot with a number) on the Mail app icon when you have new mail. You cannot change the alert sound for new email.

New service - Email alerts for critical BC incidents

Hi,
We've just set up a new service that can be used to receive email alerts during BC incidents(at the start & finish of the outage).
To subscribe you need to go to our system status page (http://status.businesscatalyst.com/) and on the right hand side you can find the "Subscribe to essential updates via email" link.
Although we hope that we'll rarely need to use this service, I believe that this will help us communicate better and keep us tightly aligned during the most critical situations.
Kind regards,
Vlad

Hi Barbara,
I do apologize for the problems experienced this past few days. We have been doing our best to communicate in due time the information that we had available, but sometimes things just don't line up properly.
I wanted to clarify some of your items you stated here, since some are just missunderstandings:
the forum thread that was locked actually pertains to last week's e-mail issues. In order not to create confusion the support team has locked it, so that people can actually refer to the new threads set up for this particular incident. Otherwise people might look there and see that the issue was solved when in fact the correct status might be another. We have not at any point deleted any posts, and will never do that. The forums are a free space for communication, and we would not intervene in such way.
The e-mail notification service had indeed a problem: it was too new. We did not expect it to be put to the test so soon, and unfortunately the processes needed internally were not 100% in place. That is why we had a small delay in sending out the notification e-mails. The support team had not had the chance to test and learn this new process, so we apologize for the delays in information there.
We were not able to provide a proper ETA on the issue as we were waiting for information from an external team. Due to this, our support engineers did not have any public ETA they could make available. There are times when this happens and unfortunately not much can be done while the team investigates. Rather than providing the wrong ETA we chose to say that we do not have one at that particular point.
I want to stress yet again that we find your feedback extremly important. We have not, and will never delete any messages from the forums, be they public or private forums. We are sorry if this has happened while the thread has been locked, and our team is currently looking into why that post has been deleted.
We will keep you up to date with an incident report once the team has had a chance to investigate as well as with proposed solutions to these issues.

Turn of vibration for new emails, not for sms

I have a nokia n97 mini and i use nokia messaging
Is it possible somehow to turn of email vibration, but to keep on sms vibration?
Maybe with a third party app.
Jasper

I haven't tried this before, but have you tried to turn email alert off in the profile? I don't know if it'll work.

New events in iCal are automatically created with an Email alert

How do I change the default alert method?

Thanks Barney. To answer your first idea, these aren't alerts of the "alert me 15 minutes before the start of the event" type. Subscribers can switch those off by selecting "Ignore Alerts" in the calendar's Info pane:
My problem is that email alerts are being raised after any and all activity in my calendar:
If I create an event, subscribers receive an immediate email (like the one below)
If I change the title of an event (i.e. 100% of the time), subscribers receive another an immediate email. This clearly wrong behaviour makes me wonder if we've encountered a bug.
If I edit an event, subscribers receive an immediate email.
If I delete an event, subscribers receive an immediate email.
Secondly, these messages are apparently coming from iCloud. Here's what the subscriber sees when I create an event (I created this without editing the title, hence "New Event"):
I deleted my calendar from my wife's iCal calendar list and added it again. No change. I created a new calendar, and subscribed her to it, no change. Oh, and I am subscribed to her calendar, but I receive no email alerts (which is what we want).
She has an iPhone but I can't find any setting there that demands an email update for all calendar activity.
Finally, I'd add that it hasn't always been like this. These alerts only appeared recently.

Alerts from new emails not coming in.

Hi Outlook Expert,
We have issue with the email alerts on outlook 2010. one of our users have full accessed to his boss email. Thus, he viewed two accounts in his outlook 2010 together. in the left hand pane of outlook, he have two accounts. When there are new emails come
in, he received alerts because those are his own emails. however, not for his boss mailbox. when there are new emails in, his boss mailbox on his outlook doesn't have any alerts at all.
did anybody have faced the same issue? how to solve it?
thanks so much.
Regards,
H

Hi Henry,
Truly Outlook does not provide any kind of an easy way for this, so you could apply an email alert on the additional email account. Outlook email alerts only works on the new email of Inbox but with the help of
"Rules" it can be probably possible.
Follow the given path and start creating rule for email alerts (additional e-mail account):
Rules and Alerts >> New Rule >> Apply Rule on Messages I Receive (Next) >> Sent to People or Public Group (Next) >> Display a Desktop Alert >> Finish

Iphone will not show new message alert for email sent to subfolders

I have successfully synced my iphone with the exchange server so I am getting push email from entourage to my phone. However I have subfolders set up in entourage so that my email is organised. These subfolders are showing on my iphone. Although email sent to subfolders is pushed to the iphone (to the relevant subfolders), when the phone is on the home screen it does not show a new mail alert for those emails. It only shows a new mail alert for emails going to the main inbox. Obviously I need it to alert me if email is coming in to subfolders. Can anyone help with setting this up?

Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go. (No data loss)

New Email SMS Notification???

I'm looking for an app or thunderbird plugin that can either send an sms or send an email when a new email comes in to my IMAP email account. Does anyone know of such a thing? Thanks for your help...

See this help: http://tbirdhowto.wordpress.com/category/auto-reply/
Btw, i don't why Thunderbird doesn't has a plugin or something for this.

Adding a new email address to iCal alarms

This is probably very simple: but how do I add a completely new email address to the alarms? Each time I try to add a new alarm, it gives me the options that are already created - and I need to add a whole new email address. Help, please!

dixiebelle,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Select (click) the "alarm" field in the event Info window, then choose "Email" from the drop down menu. Click and hold that selection, and you will then be presented with all of the email accounts which are listed in your Mail application, and your "My Card" in your Address Book application.
