How in the world and the seven kingdoms do you disable email notifications? I tried absolutely everything, disabled everything in the user panel and it still sends me email to threads i'm subscribed. I'd like to see the notification when i'm on XDA, but i don't want to receive emails for it
Thank you.

SMS Messages Are Unsorted In Conversation

Hi guys, I have tried looking for an answer to this question on google and on xda, but cant seem to find one. Maybe you know or have seen the answer before and can help me!
I just recently put a new rom on my phone and then used Microsoft Myphone to recover my contacts/messages/ calendar etc. It worked, except it has jumbled all the sms/text messages. The messages are not sorted within each contact by date and time received. The messages are displayed in some random way. Is there anyway to sort the messages within a conversation so that everything is sorted by time received/sent?
I really need an answer since I frequently have to go back and check messages for work and other details and it would be so much easier to find those needed messages if the conversations were sorted!
Thanks!

Request for rules-based email alerts

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...

I have a bot on my cellphone

Background info
My phone is Samsung s3
Rom is cyanonegmod( i installed it using the tool on their website)
My skill level a very low
The only apps im running are from google play store
I think i have a bot on my cellphone. Earlier today I was looking for an email that had room reservation information from the silver legacy hotel. I have my exchange email linked to my phone so i used the search function in the email app to search for the word silver. The reservation was in the results list. But there where also bunch of outgoing emails that i never sent. The emails looked like spam, i opened one but didn't click on the link. The email had been sent to me from me according to the email, but these emails don't show up in my inbox or sent mail folder. These emails don't show up on any of my computers that have the my exchange email account synced to them. I think there is some sort bot running on my phone. I tried searching using google and the xda forum search function but i couldnt find anything to help me. Is there anyway to remove the bot with out resetting my phone? I've never heard of this happening, but i figured it would only be a matter time before someone figured out how to get bots on cellphones.
Hi there, XDA Assist is mainly for navigational guidance within XDA. Your question is more general and would be appropriate in the General Q&A section. I have asked a moderator to move it for you. Good luck!
I would say they are in your spam folder, a lot of spam email spoofs the sender as the receiver email to get the person to open it. Check your spam folder and I bet they are in there.
I checked the spam folder, the emails weren't there.

Stop this forum from sending gmail to me

Hi...how can I prevent this forum from sending me email? Every time someone quotes one of my posts, gmail receives an email. I have turned off all email notifications in the settings for this website. If I set gmail to not notify me then I receive NO notifications on my phone that my gmail inbox has received an email...obviously I don't want that...since friends email me etc. I thought it might be a Chrome thing...but I have set everything there to never notify me of anything.
The only way I can stop this forum from emailing me when someone quotes my post is to disable notifications in gmail...since I can't handpick websites I don't want to receive email from...that just cancels ALL notifications as I said before.
By the way, I am NOT 'subscribing' to any threads either...so that's not the problem.
So what am I doing wrong?
thanks
Have you tried this:
1 - Click on Settings on the top right, next to your username.
2 - From the options on the left, choose the last one titled "Settings" under "Mention System"
3 - Check the last option, titled "Quote Emails" which has the description "Check this box if you do not wish to receive an email whenever you are quoted in a post."
4 - Save changes
Should work. Else, use filters in gmail to auto delete such emails...
Wow thanks a lot
'Mentions'...the only thing I didn't check. That'll teach me!

S3 Gear email

Hi
Got a shiny new S3 gear connected to my Samsung S6 Edge. The emails are confusing me a little and I have a couple of querstions.
I have more than one account on Gmail. I believe there isnt a Gmail app but the notifications do come through. Now, here is the question. How do I read my emails from the Stock email app? I can see them, but I cant open and read the content. I can only see the header and subject. Same applies to Whatsapp. Is there an app planned?
Also, will i receive notifications from Slack?
I hope you guys can help.
thanks
If I am not mistaken, what you are seeing is the notification that you received the email. If you tap the screen, you should go to the email app on the watch and be able to read and respond to the email if necessary.
Thanks. you are correct. However, what I am after is how to read email from the stock email app without going through the notification. Any ideas?
