Hi,
Looking for an App that will force a loud ringtone (even when on silent) when an email arrives (into Gmail box) from a specific email address (or addresses).
Basically a 'prioiry email' type application. I have had a nosey round the market and various apps seem to offer partial results but nothing concrete.
This is needed for overnight support at work - to make sure that any incidents wake up the on-call guys
in other words it needs to be a pretty stable app
Any thoughts ?
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.hubris.gmailnotifierpro&feature=search_result should be the solution, you'll need to set up a rule in gmail to put the mail in a certain label and then use this app
You might also be able to do something like that with Tasker. I know it is possible to trigger alarms and other changes/activities with SMS messages, so email may be as well.
Thanks Guys .... Ill have a tinker with both

I've been looking around for some type of software (since WM5 and WM6 don't seem to have the ability built in) that will let me know when I've gotten an email in a folder other than my inbox.
All of the people in my office have separate folders, and all of their email is sorted into their respective boxes automatically in a server-side rule. I'd always have to manually check those folders in windows mobile (I've got an 8125 running XDA Mobile 6 r4) every time I looked at my phone.
While searching around I found a software package called watchflag (www.watchflag.com or m.watchflag.com for the direct download). It didn't have this option at first, but I asked their support about it and they actually wrote it into the code! It'll play different notifications depending on who it's from or what the subject line is, and it checks all folders, including subfolders (just be sure to follow all of their directions!). So if you've been looking for something to alert you on new email in subfolders (the boss [or the wife] emailing you and you have a separate folder for them), this software will work great.
Just wanted to spread the word as I looked high and low and haven't found anything else that does this out there!
thanks for the post, nice ap. probably shouldnt put your email in plain site like that[username]
I've been waiting a long time for this! Thanks!
Looks interesting. I'm looking for something subtley different - I use FlexMail to access a private IMAP account and I'd love to find something which hooks the standard notification process, so, for instance, my HTC Home new mail count will increment for mail received in Flexmail/IMAP. (At the moment I have Outlook mirroring the IMAP account and checking for mail every 5 minutes to flag new arrivals, but that's wasteful of resources...)
Does anyone know of something that allows you to hook the standard notification procedures for custom events?
I know I'm not the only one that wants this...
Being an admin my box is constantly filled with stuff that I really don't want to wake me at 3am. However, when an outage or other high priority alert comes through, it would be AWESOME if I could alert on only those messages, or have a different alert for them.
Any chance that anyone is working on an app that would let the user specify an alert based on an email rule or filter? This is one I'd pay for gladly.

You need to specify which mail client you're using.. If you're using K9, you can most likely use Tasker to do this. http://www.dinglisch.net/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?catselect=29
For me, I have it notify me with a second, remarkable notification immediately after the standard one for new email for special emails I want to read immediately. You could get fancy and have it only notify once with a unique sound if necessary.
As an admin, what are you using for business email? If it's Exchange/Outlook or Google Apps/Outlook you can simply set this up a series of rules in Outlook and have only relevant/whitelisted emails pushed to your mobile device. It's probably possible with Gmail as well, but I haven't tried it.
Good luck!
We're on Exchange. Your solution has merit, however I still want access to all emails on my device. I'd just like to be able to configure which ones alert via some very simple rules/filters.
I know that Froyo is supposed to have better exchange support. I can only hope that if it supports folders, perhaps I can set alerts for certain folders. Then I could set some server side rules to auto-sort as they come in.
We'll see...
Hello:
On my old Blackberry 9700 each contact has a separate ringtone for the phone number and their email address.
Is it possible to have separate ringtones for someone's phone an email address on the Skyrocket without putting a separate entry in the contact for each one?
If there is a way can someone enlighten this noob?
Thanks.

Download the app on the market called ringdroid its free. It will also allow u to use any music you have downloaded as a ringtone. And lets u choose how long the ringtone is, and what parts of songs u want to use
Thanks silver03wrx.
Ringdroid sounds like a ringtone making app.
I have the ringtones on the sd card. I just don't see a way to use separate tones for a single contacts phone number and a different tone for their email address without entering a separate contact for the phone number and another for the email address in my contacts. A lost of extra work.
I like to know when someone is calling me or emailing me. I can then choose to answer right away or not.

Ringdroid does allow you to assign a ringtone to a specific contact look at the attached picture
Yeah i dont think that allows you to seperate the email sound for the same contact though
Hi Silver:
I don't think it does either because I have CNN updates in the contacts with an email address along with a certain ringtone assigned to it & every time an update comes over it plays the default email tone.
This is a bummer because I like to know when family emails me since we're so far apart. Had each one of the siblings on a different tone so I knew right away who it was.
I guess blackberry will always have everyone beat when it comes to handling emails with ringtones.
Thanks for trying Silver.

Try WhoIsIt in the market place. I think it might do what you want.
Hello:
Whoisit didn't get very good reviews.
I also found Enhanced SMS & Caller ID, and Ringo Pro out there that might bridge the gap. Gonna do more research tomorrow morning.
Thanks all.

I understand your frustration, I am also a former 9700 user. The thing I miss most is the centralized Sound Profiles, it's hard / impossible afaik to have profiles setup which will in turn change the alerts and notifications for all installed apps collectively.
Hi Promise:
I'm using Ringo Pro right now. It will ring a tone for phone calls & msgs.
Haven't found anything safe that will do different tones per contact for all three yet.
Will keep looking.

I have looked at I would guess about 5-10 different applications to give me what I'm looking for with no luck.
What I Need:
Email client or Application to watch emails.
Sound notifications when criteria are met.
Ability to set days alerts are active.
I am willing to pay for the application as long as it works. I can also create a new email alias made just for these notification so filters are not needed.
Example:
If I receive an email from [email protected] with the title "Urgent"...
My phone wakes up, takes me off silent (if it's on) sounds an alarm (preferably from my notification sound list) and as an added bonus shows me the title and or body of the email.
List of application I have tried:
Tasker - Confusing as all get out.
K-9 - No filtered alerts
Mail-Alert - Says has sound notification but does not work in practice
MailDroid - No filtered Alerts (and no sound alerts)
Email Advanced - No sound alerts
E-mail Notifier - I have to new of a version of Gmail
And a few others a cannot remember at the moment.
Any suggestions?
Hi,
I was looking for an app to block notifications during weekends for some email accounts but I couldn't, so I've developed one.
It allows you to create a schedule so you can avoid work email notification in your free time.
In addition to that, it also allows you to override your schedule temporarily for special events like a day off.
I could have switched to another email client but I was happy with the official Gmail app.
How does it work?
Well, it just toggles the synchronization on/off based on the schedule you define within the app.
In order to discover the email accounts in your device I need to use the GET_ACCOUNTS permission. Sadly, it belongs to the CONTACTS group starting Android 6. Please, tell me if you find a way to work around this.
I'm sorry but I can't post the link yet, but you can find the app on Google Play, just search for "Quiet for Gmail"
I hope you find it useful and I'm looking forward to getting some feedback from you :fingers-crossed:
