Is it for real that on Android you cannot assign a specific tone for an specific email contact? I mean, either you listen to every email or you listen to none. I think every one of us receives thousands of emails and we don't want to be bothered with some ringtone every time a new email arrives, so we want to set up a special tone for just a few email senders we care. On Blackberry there is this app called Mail Tones that does this. On Android, all I find is just for sms messages but not for emails.

How do you define the defualt email account. My KaiserTweak is configured to forward to the default e-mail inbox when i click the e-mail icon on HTC home, but it is still taking me to the standard SMS inbox. Advice?
Using the search option would have brought you to the solution

I already saw that, which i why i posted this. I have TWO e-mail inboxes, and i was asking how to set ONE of them as my default e-mail account.
And even with that tweak, when i click the e-mail icon i still get forwarded to the general messaging inbox, which is still nonselective. So every so often the e-mail icon still brings me to my SMS.
Is there a hack to have a different notification/sound for new mail based on the email account?
Just as you can have a different notification based on know caller or unknown caller, I am looking for a way to have a different email notification based on which account the email comes into.
Thanks in advance
I'm looking for the same info. I have 3 different email accounts I monitor on my Tilt. My Yahoo, my daughter's Yahoo and my work. Regardless of which one comes in, it has the same sound. I would like a different sound for each one, so when I hear it, I can determine whether I need to check it or not. I did a google search and didn't really find an answer to this. Thanks!
I'm also interested in something like this. Any luck guys?
Same with me!
I am trying to change the email notification so the standard email account has a different sound than the corporate account. When I try to change the settings (Email Settings > Notifications), it is a global change.
Can I not have two different sounds for the email accounts that are from two very different entities?
Thank you in advance.
Just a thought, I've never tried it as I don't do Outlook email on my phone, but what if this email address is the same one linked to the person in your contacts? would that specific Contact then have their unique sound for any notification from them?

The absence of a Twitter app that supports push notifications annoyed me for quite some time now. There is no news or whatsoever on when this function might arrive for Android, so maybe we're waiting for a thing that may never happen or only in the distant future. My Twitter app polls each 10 minutes for new messages, which is draining the battery. Setting it to a larger interval means that it takes more time before you can answer your DM's or @mentions.
So when I yesterday recieved a mail from Twitter when I got an @mention, I got the feeling that I could do something with that. I use a Gmail account for my Twitter account, so mails from Twitter will be pushed in seconds to my Gmail account. But my Gmail is always on silent, no sound, no vibration, because I recieve to many mails to allow that. I had to find another option to alert me for Twitter mails.
I made a second Gmail account, the naming is arbitrary ofcourse, in my case [email protected]. Add that address to the Gmail App on your phone (open Gmail app, go to Menu>Accounts). Now you have two accounts in the Gmail app, you can switch by pressing the name of the account in the upper right corner of the Gmail app.
For both accounts you can set different sound/vibrate profiles when you recieve new mail. My primary account is on silent and I set the second account (which recieves only mails from Twitter) is set to always vibrate. You find the settings under Menu>More>Settings in the Gmail app. Make sure the second account is is set to synchronise automatically!
So far the things that have to be done on the phone. Now you need to make a filter in Gmail on the website. Go to the website, log in with your primary account. Now click in the upper right corner on the Settings icon, click on Mail Settings. Now you need to add the mail address you just made to Forwarding, so in my case I add [email protected]. Now you will recieve a code on that mail address which you have to enter in you primary account . Don't forward any mails yet, otherwise you recieve all mail of your primary account on your new account!
Now you have set up a forwarding address. The last step you need to take is set up a filter rule in your primary account. Again go to Mail Settings, now go to Filters. Add a filter that filters all mails from @postmaster.twitter.com and forward them to the new Gmail address, in my case [email protected].
Now all is set up and you will recieve a (almost) instant notification when you are mentioned at Twitter or when you get a DM.
(ps. the last steps with forwarding and filter rules can by avoided if you change your email address in your Twitter account to the newly made Gmail address, but I didn't want to change that myself.)
The only problem seems to be that Twitter doesn't always send emails when you get a DM/mention...
I know that Gmail app permits to have different notifications for different email folders (labels) so that for example I can decide to be notified for every mail, except for the ones from Groupon that go in the 'Groupon' label.
I'd like to know if there is a way to obtain the same result (I want to get sound notifications only for emails that come from some people) with other email apps different than Gmail.
With Android Email it doesn't seem to be possible, it's a notify all or nothing. The same is for Outlook.com and for Yahoo Mail.
Do you know if any app other than Gmail has this option? Am I doing something wrong?
