multiple notifications for different email boxes

hey everyone, i'm pretty sure i know the answer to this is no, but i thought i'd ask anyways.
i have 2 email boxes on my phone (work and gmail) does anybody know if its possible to have a different notification tone for each mailbox? i'm just wondering so i wouldn't have to check my email right then and there for an important work email when its just a personal email that could wait.

I could only find software to assign different ringtones to contacts for SMS but nothing for different e-mail accounts because they all go through tmail.exe which is where the ringtone gets assigned.
I don't think its possible at this point.

thanks, i wasn't sure if it was a single mail program (tmail.exe) that email went through or not, but that would explain why it's not possible.
this thread can now be closed/deleted...

I may have missed the idea - but if 1 (A) mailbox is important & 1 (B) isnt, couldnt you have A check automaticaly (and play a notification) and B check on demand (assuming B is basically your friends asking you for a beer etc!) so only the important mails interrupt you??
I know its not what you exactly asked for - but i dont know how to do what you asked, so i'm trying to find a suitable alternative. - hope its close enough!

Try PhoneAlarm you can do custom email alerts with it. Not sure if it will do exactly what you want but it may be possible.

if I send a mail with the iPhone comes a tone. Is that possible with an android?

Hi, if I send a mail with the iPhone comes a tone. Is that possible with an android?

Holy crap that font is GIANT. Was that necessary or just an iphone thing? Anyway, what? If you send an email on your iphone it makes noise? What?

it comes a sound!

When you send an email on the iPhone, and the send is complete/successful, you get a "whoosh" sound.
No it's not possible on the Android.

Why ist that not possible?

I find this kind of silly since I know I am sending an e-mail, why do I need a sound to tell me something I already know

It's not silly. The Mail.app on the Mac does the same thing.
What the sound does is tell you that the email has successfully left your outbox. Kind of handy to have an audible confirmation of that if you've switched out of the mail app and are doing something else.
Many times on my Androids I've had emails stuck in the outbox with no knowledge of it until I wondered why no reply and had to go to the outbox within the app.
I don't miss it on my droids, but I didn't mind it on my iPhones.
Some may not like the feature, some may love it, but I wouldn't call it silly.

yes, but it is not really necessary
if you are using PUSH email as most of us should probably be doing (i know i am) then as soon as you sent the email
you just need to check on your AllMail folder
if it's there, then it sent out properly
if it's not there, then it did not go out
yahoo mail, works very similar too, using the yahoo mail app
even apps like K9 have access to sync via SMTP
the only problematic email are people stuck on Hotmail and Exchange Servers, those are well... kind of on their own, until a better email app comes around to support microsoft stuff

Is the stock gmail app a push email client? o.o

I get the stuck outgoing emails and the ONLY email app I use is the stock version of gmail.apk, which only talks to google.
Background syncing on, data connection always enabled, etc.
I'm not arguing it's necessary, but like everything else, it would be a nice "option" to have.
Sometimes the only way to clear it is to go to settings and clear data.

I've had the same issue of emails getting stuck in both the gmail client and the email client.
It's irrelevant of the type of email account, as the emails appear to get stuck when there is a lapse of connectivity.

Email related problem

Whenever I reply an email from my phone. Instead of showing the correct sender's email in a quote, It shows a bunch of code. These code display both on the the phone (sent items) and on Gmail web page.
My question are what is causing the problem and how to solve it?
Thank you very much
Enclosed some desmonstration.

Whoa... I've enver seen that before, sorry.
A few questions that might be relevant:
What language is the phone configured to use?
Is the email being sent directly to your Gmail account, or are you forwarding it from another server (and if so, which)?
Did you configure the Gmail account using the Google account template on the phone, or did you set it up as just an IMAP or POP3 email server?
What OS version is on your phone? (There has been at elast one update regarding original message body handling.)
The phone doesn't usually modify the original message at all (something some people have complained about, actually) so this is really weird. On my Gmail account, I've never seen anything like that.

Thanks for replying
The phone is an HTC Radar with HD2O's Dynamics7 1.21 - build is 8779
Language is en-UK
I'm pretty sure it's not about the ROM because I've encountered this problem on stock Mango ROM.
Mail arrives as usual and I reply by pressing Reply button.
It's a mailbox configured by adding Google Account, not manually configured.
I think the problem is on text encoding but don't know how to solve it yet

[Q] Gmail won't allow to respond to calendar invites

Hi
I've searched for a solution to this problem and cannot find it. It either seems to work for people or it doesn't. As I understand it since a Gmail update at the end of last year this should work. So why isn't it for me?
The problem is when I receive a calendar invite in my email, on my old Galaxy S3 it would need to open the ICS in Calendar for me to be able to accept it. This was not ideal but it worked and I was never able to improve it. In my new Oneplus, it's even worse - if the invite is from Outlook I just get a blank email, with no ICS let alone yes/no options. From Google Calendar, I get weblinks and it takes me to a browser version of the calendar.
I cannot get my head round this, how can it be that the iPhone app by default has simple yes/no/maybe buttons that work in the email without jumping to any other app, but on Google's own phone it seems to have a problem with such a basic feature?
Please help, driving me mad! :crying:
Cheers

No-one?
OK, so can someone help me out with how this SHOULD work?
Here's what I see in the iOS app with an invite from Outlook:-

And here is what I see in Android:-

If the invite is from gmail, iOS works exactly the same but Android shows up like this, with weblinks:-
View attachment 2957497
Is this the same for everyone? If you see something different can you please post it and help me work out why I see something different? Surely Google's own OS should be able to handle calendar invites at least as well as it's app on iOS?!
Thanks!

Slightly shocked that not one person has replied with simply whether they see the same as me or not. Guess I'll have to go elsewhere

Same Here

In the past, I had "Invitation Plugin" installed to be able to add the invitations to my calendar. But now, since there is no attachment or .ics or anything, even that doesn't work. I get the same "blank" emails as you. This is very frustrating as my wife and I use invitations for everything. She sends them, and I have to get to a PC to open my Gmail to see (and accept) the invitations. Very frustrating when this used to work.
I hope somebody has some answer/workaround for this.

I found a workaround. There's an app called Cal by any.do. It's just a calendar app, but, it does have an indicator/filter that shows pending invitations and allows you to accept/deny and notifies the meeting chair. This is mildly better than searching the entire calendar trying to find the pending invite.
So, when the email comes in, pop over to Cal and do the needful. Not perfect, but better than where I was before.

Thanks for replying, nice to know I'm not alone in this issue Yeah me and the wife do exactly the same
Yep, Cal seems to provide a workaround of sorts, thanks for sharing it. Seems utterly nuts that Google should make their own solutions work better on a competitive platform to their own. Very very poor
If anyone else has any solutions or comments would love to hear them
Cheers

same problem here
I'm running the latest gmail update (v 5.0) on KitKat and I get the same problem - google calendar invites present a links only that take me to a webpage. on gmail for my iPad get big easy buttons to use. How is it possible that the experience is better on iOS than Android?

Same problem here. Confirmed that it is because the invitation is from Outlook. Why is there no solution? Seems like the bug is on the Android Gmail client.

Still no solution available in June - as far as I can tell - is this some kind of spat with Microsoft?
It's a real PITA whatever it is...not what I expected running the latest software versions available.

I am facing the similar issue. My problem is bigger - I get at least 30-35 outlook exchange invites on my gmail account and my Gmail App shows just the emails (it doesn't show the date and time) which is sad. All the time, I have to check the calendar app, open each invite / meeting requests and select - Yes / No / Maybe from the Calendar. I so wish that the Android Gmail App comes up with a simple feature (just like you have shown for iOS Gmail App.) so that at least we will know that the email which we have received is an actual Outlook Meeting invite and not a standard email. Can somebody please contact Google Android department and raise this issue? I have tried to report this on the official Google App. Gmail forum but no luck on their response so far.
Again, thanks for bringing this up here on XDA.

E-Mail app that can sort by Sender

Hello all,
I'm having trouble finding a good e-mail app that does what I want it to do, and I haven't had any luck in searching these forums for a while.
The only thing I'm looking for is an e-mail app that can sort e-mail by Sender. I can make do with anything else, that is my only preference.
My e-mail app on the S3 used to do it. I'm not on the S5, and its app does not. I know the Gmail doesn't since I tried it before on the S3 and it never did so I didn't use it.
I have also tried myMail and Cloud Magic, it doesn't appear that either of them has this functionality.
Can anybody point me towards an e-mail app that I'm looking for?
Thanks!

Have you tried Inbox my GMail? or MailBox by DropBox? If so, try using maildroid and use the search function so that you can easily find the sender by their name or e-mail

I just downloaded and tried them. Both Inbox by Gmail and Mailbox by Dropbox look like basically G-mail only accounts (I'm working with a non-gmail account).
I also came across LightMail and gave that a try, but no go.
I know I can use the search function in any of the apps, but it's not that I'm looking for a particular e-mail or sender, but that I deal with bulk hundreds of e-mails by sender, and prefer to work through a sorted list so I can go from one to the other. Searching requires me knowing everybody who has sent me e-mails, which is the point of why I sort by sender.
Any additional help is appreciated, thanks!

WeMail is by far the best app to do this.
