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.

  • 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.

  • 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>

  • No sound alert for incoming emails

    I lost  sound alerts for the incoming email messages into my yahoo mail  inbox since I upgraded to Mountain lion. I even made rule to play sound it but doesn't work!!! I have all the setting on. Apple please fix since this problem arose with Mountain Lion upgradation.
    On the other hand any communication done through the apple mail app doesn't save send items automatically. Apple email is poorly desigend and needs to be redesign or eliminated  completely.

    Thanks. I just talked to apple rep and we figured out that in system preference>sound effect> output volume, I had mute option checked which happened during upgradation to Mountain lion.  iI unchecked mute and now sound alert works. However the sent items are not being synchronized with web based yahoo email sent items.

  • How do I set up new folders for an email account

    I am unable to set up a new folder in my iPad email account. The only folders are inbox, sent and trash.

    At the moment you can't do it directly in the Mail app. If it's an IMAP type account then you should be able to login to your account on a browser and create them there, and they should then appear in the Mail app. If it's a POP type account then unfortunately you're stuck with what you've got. If you're unsure of the type of account then see if you can create additional folders via a browser.
    With iOS 5 later this year you should be able to do directly in the Mail app (not sure if that applies to both IMAP and POP) - from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#more :
    Even add and delete mailbox folders on the fly

  • Set different System Prefs for specific projects?

    What I need to be able to do is to maintain everything about a client project in one place. We use a different drive for each client, that way everything is kept very orderly and we can easily manage it.
    But if I set the system prefs (like where to save render files, capture scratch, etc.) for one project, those settings are saved even when another project is opened and I have to remember to change them or I'll get render files from Client A saved to Client B's drive.
    And of course the problem is even worse with multiple projects open.
    So, is there any way to say: Save Everything about this project HERE and Everything about this other project over HERE? And not have to manually change system prefs every single time?
    Thanks!

    I simply created three different users for three diffrent projects when specifically requested to meet such odd and onerous and unnecessary (in my view) requirements. That way each project could be assigned its own preferences for such things as targets for scratch etc. I find the FCP file management system more than adequate to quickly keep crucial original files in order without resorting to the log in/out user dance, but its the only thing I could come up with at the time. Maybe someone else has an easy cure.

  • 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.

  • How do I turn off all alerts for a specific email account

    I want to disable all notifications for a specific email account and I can't find the options to do this. So basically I have 3 email accounts linked on my blackberry. I and I want to make it so that any time account #3 gets an email I don't get a red flashing light or a new message * anywhere. I case you're wondering I've funneled all those annoying promo adds to this one account. It's just that sometimes some of them actually have good deals so I want to be able to check them every now and then but it's seriously annoying when my red light is going off constantly. NEVER MIND! I found it, but I'm going to leave this here incase anyone else it looking for something like this. You go into notification profiles and change the settings for that profile. So it's :   Notifications -> Profiles -> Normal (or which ever one you want) -> Customize App Notifications -> Email Messages -> Select email account you want -> Turn off all notifications or modify them to your preference. It does suck that you can't just globally set it by email account. It seems you have to go through each profile and change the settings one at a time. Most people probably only have 3 though so it's not that big a deal #firstworldproblems. DOUBLE NEVER MIND! So the "solution" I mentioned above only seems to work for the LED indicator and the instant popup you that comes on the top of the screen when you get a new notification. I'm still getting the red "new email" star on the side bar when I do a quick look from the homescreen or an app. And the 3rd email account has a "new email" red star next to it as well. Hoping someone out there knows how to turn them off for a specific email account. Thanks. - Kbye

    Hi, I am using German OS therefore maybe the items are called differently in English: 1) Go into the main menu 2) Select "Alerts" 3) select the Profile you like to adjust 4) Select App Alerts 5) Select Email 6) You sould see your 3 mail accounts listed 7) Select the one you like to "mute" and you can set everything (sound, LED, vibration etc. individually for this acount) Hope it helps Alex

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

    Open each app > menu > settings > notification sound > change the sound > done > repeat as needed
