Silent email alerts on E71

Can anyone tell me how to get my phone to make a noise to tell me I've got new email?
I recently got an E71 on the UK's 3 network. I initially set up push email with Nokia Messaging and Email on 3 and have temporarily abandoned these as they were terribly unreliable. I am now using the email service that came with the phone (not sure what it's actually called, if anything) which allows automatic retrieval at user-defined intervals.
However, with this service I can't get the phone to make a noise when it retrieves an email. With Nokia Messaging and Email on 3 my chosen email alert tone sounded when an email came in, but with the default service it's silent. This means I have to look at my phone regularly to see if there are any new emails.
Am I just overlooking some obscurely hidden setting or is this a bug?
(I'm beginning to miss my Mobile Mail service on the E65, which worked perfectly and even allowed me to filter out messages/contacts I didn't want to be pushed.)

I'm guessing that the "email service that came with the phone" you are on about is Mail For Exchange?
Are you using mail for exchange or the POP3 client within the phone to access an ISPs mail server?
On the handset you need to go to:
Menu --> Tools --> Settings --> General --> Personalisation --> Tones --> "Email Alert Tone"
Will change the alert tone in the current profile that you have loaded.

When you get an email do you get the "@" symbol at the top right hand side of the screen, when I get an email, I get the tone and the Exchange service tells me that I have an unread message.
Shunts...
I will mostly be communicating with a Nokia E72 Zodium Black

  • How to disable email alert tone on E71

    I've just upgraded the firmware on my E71 and now I'm going through the process of setting everything up again. I've reinstalled Nokia email and it retrieves ok from gmail. However I cannot turn off the email alert tone in the General profile.
    If I go into Tones there is no 'Off' or 'Silent' option for the email alert. I'm sure there was with the old firmware. It used to give a brief vibrate but no sound which suited me fine.
    I suppose I could select the Silent profile as this does have a 'Off' option for the email alert. It seems a bit of a kludge though. Am I missing something? This is driving me nuts.
    Dougie

    I got this option back by restoring the backup.

  • N8 visual email alert

    I took the email alert off my home screen because it displayed the sender's name, which i a privacy issue, so now when my phone is silent I have no way of knowing i have a new email unless I go all the way in to my email account.  I thought i'd seen an alert on Ovi-store, but I've searched today and all I can find are sounds  Alerts don't seem to exist as a category - just Ringtone, Theme and Wallpaper.  Can anyone help?  

    Displaying the Name of the sender is safer than signing up for a new website and give it access to your email coz they are the major causes for identity theft. I'm not sure about this but you can try the best reminder (Don't buy it try it with a demo and see whether it shows a notification for email). Symbian ^3 is the first OS which has this email app as default and earlier Nokia messaging (which you now use for SMS, MMS etc) had an option to setup the email so notification for email worked really well and it had an @ sign at the corner of an envelop. The notification is simply missing for the mail app now. Hope it will be sorted out in upcoming update which is due this month. 

  • Not getting email alert after shutting phone off

    Hi,
    I have a LG Alley. Ususally leave the phone on 24/7 but I've noticed that when I do shut it off and then turn back on my email alert sound doesn't work. I double check the settings and they are there. Eventually, after some time, the alert sounds do work. Anyone know why the alert sound doesn't just kick back in when the phone is turned on?

    I have a similar issue, except with a few quirks.
    My alert settings are set to make a noise and vibrate when I get a text. My silent switch is set to 'normal'. Sometimes, randomly, when I get a text, it will not make a noise; the screen lights up and shows the message, and then after a short delay it will vibrate.
    Similarly, I think I've noticed in silent mode, it sometimes just lights up and doesn't vibrate (which it is set to)
    Any ideas?

  • Shutting off email alerts!!!

    I just installed the most recent updates to my Droid X. Many things have changed & I'm still trying to figure them out. MOST IRRITATING is the constant alert/music with every email being received. This is happening throughout the day and all night long. I haven't had any success in turning the alerts off. Before the update, I only received a text alert which was great! HOW DO I TURN OFF THE EMAIL ALERT/SOUND? I need some uninterrupted sleep!

    Email alerts are managed in the email APP that you are using. Which email APP do you have?  I use YAHOO - there is an option in Yahoo Email / Email SETTINGS  / Notifications  -  change Select Ringtone to "SILENT" ...

  • Time and sender specific email alerts

    I am on call for a security comapny 24/7 and occasionally receive work at 2am. This comes in the form of an email but rarely wakes me. Is there a way to keep the phone on silent but get audible, sender specific email alerts.
    By sender specific I mean i get these important emails from one person
    Is there an app available that can monitor my emails and if one comes from the specific address, override the silenced phone and alert me till I respond
    If it makes a difference, godaddy hosts my email which is forwarded to my apple mail on my phone

    You could use email VIP which will group them together
    But no there is nothing native other than changing the sound to all emails to something louder
    Or if it's a separate email account manually disabling automatic retrieving of emails on the none security email
    Address and leave them on manual retrieve
    Depending on your email provider you might be able to automatically forward security emails to another email address
    Which you could have on automatic retrieve every xx minutes or push if the mail service supports it
    And any other email accounts on manual retrieve
    You could suggests do not disturb email feature to Apple
    You can enable the led to flash on alerts, but that's for everything
    With Calls you can schedule what time and who can call from settings  do not disturb

    Hi All.
    I have this request.
    BODS 3.1 : How to trigger an email alert for the jobs on BODS server ?
    We have jobs scheduled on BODS running smoothly and absolutely fine.
    But to check, i am logging into the admin console and check for the jobs status.
    I would like to have an email to be received from BODS after each job is finished.
    It could succuessful. Or it could fail.
    Whatsoever, i wish to receive an email alert as soon as a job is finished.
    Can anyone advise me as to whether this could be made possible.
    And if yes, how this could be done.
    Thanks for your help in advance.
    In BOE CMC / for webi / schedule / we find an option to send email for a job success or a job failure.
    Is there any option similar to that in BODS ?
    Also would like to know :
    how to use the smtp_to or mail_to functions ?
    how to set up the smtp server for this ?
    thanks

    Hi.
    Since am new to this BODS. I need some help.
    I already have many jobs which are running absolutely fine.
    And when a job runs, and finishes, am able to see the trace saying
    e.g. :
    Job_abc is completed successfully.
    We got the smtp service activated for our test server.
    and we hae a group email id.
    I have put the details of the smtp server / ip address / and said apply restarted.
    The i created a simple test script as below :
    print (' Before email ' );
    smtp_to('abc@company_name.com', 'Job ' || job_name() ||' on ' || host_name() || ' has FAILED',
    ' the job has failed', 0, 0);
    print('After Email ');
    It does send a email to as per smtp_to whatever email is specified.
    But how to differentiate between a job success
    And a job which has failed.
    I wish to have a mail which says on the subject :
    'Job ' || job_name() ||' on ' || host_name() || ' has completed successfully'
    ==> IF it is a success
    OR
    'Job ' || job_name() ||' on ' || host_name() || ' has failed'
    ==> if it has failed
    How to make the system identify, whether
    to send a success message or a error message whatever
    Could anyone advise.
    thanks

  • Have problem setting Email alerts for Calendar events. Warning message says I need to set up a card in Contacts with my email. I do but it doesn't recognize it. How do I indicate the email I want alerts sent to?

    The system of setting up email alerts for Calendar events worked fine in Snow Leopard but since I upgraded to Mt. Lion Calendar won't let me set email alerts. When I try, I get an error message saying I need to set up a card in Contacts for my email. I have a card set up in Contacts for both of my email addresses but it doesn't recognize them. Perhaps the name I have on the card doesn't match a name that Calendar is looking for. Calendar doesn't seem to have a way in Preferences or elsewhere to indicate the email I want alerts sent to. Any ideas how I can get this system working again? Thanks for your help.

    You might want to consider starting a new discussion. Since this one is marked solved, less people are likely to look at it. You can link to this one.
    See if another contact is marked as this is my card.

    Is there a way to create an email alert in iCal on the iPhone (as it's possible to do on the laptop)?

    Nope.
    You might be able to find another calendar app that can do that in the App Store.

  • How to configure email Alerts in OEM Cloud 12c for Database Servers up/down

    Hi everybody,
    How to configure email Alerts in OEM Cloud 12c for Database Servers up/down status?
    Regards,
    Miguel Vega

    Hi Miguel Vega,
    Information regarding the notifications:
    ==============================
    Configuring notification rules in 12c is different from earlier releases.
    The concept and function of notification rules has been replaced with a two-tier system consisting of Incident Rules and Incident Rule Sets :
    1. Incident Rules: Operate at the lowest level granularity (on discrete events) and performs the same role as notification rules from earlier releases.
    By using incident rules, you can automate the response to incoming incidents and their updates.
    A rule contains a set of automated actions to be taken on specific events, incidents or problems.
    The actions taken are for example : sending e-mails, creating incidents, updating incidents, and creating tickets.
    2. Incident Rule Set: A rule set is a collection of rules that applies to a common set of objects, for example, targets, jobs, and templates.
    To help you to achieve the Notification Rules configuration, refer those notes :

  • 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.

  • HP LaserJet M3027 MFP Getting 'Mailbox full' on test send of email alert

    I am trying to get my network printers to send email alerts to an external hosted Exchange server through our local win2k3 server, which is not running Exchange but is running an SMTP server. I keep getting a 'Mailbox full' message when trying to send a test alert. 
    My question is: Do I have to set up an account ON the printer in User Management to be able to send alerts? Currently, there are no users defined on the printers as everybody uses them strictly for network printing. The error is probably something in the SMTP or user configurations on the server but I thought I would ask about the printer user settings just to be sure.

    There is no change to this problem after 6 months since the last post. Put simply, and as stated in the previous posts, there is no way to scan a document and receive the image on your PC. If you are working with graphics for any length of time or want to create an image for inclusion as an image in a document or web page using this piece of equipment will not allow you to do so.
    Great shame as every other function works well - it cannot be beyond the wit of HP to include a Windows application that enables you to scan an image, receive it in the software you are using at the time (e.g. Outlook, Word, Photoshop...) and use it in your work.
    HP Printers several years older than this £1000+ Enterprise printer were able to do this simple job and have done so for a great many years. Just being able to use Microsoft's Fax and Scan would be start.
