Constant E-mail Sound Notifications?

Stock Inspire
Using stock e-mail program
If I have unread e-mail messages, the phone will beep with the sound notification every time it checks for mail, until I open the e-mail app. Even if I have not received any new mail, it will beep when it checks for mail until I open the program.
So if I receive a message at 1pm, and it it set to check for mail every 10 minutes, I will receive a sound notification at 1:10, 1:20, 1:30, etc. until I actually open the e-mail app.
Is this normal? Is there a setting I can chage where it will only beep once upon receipt of a new message? I looked thru the settings and couldn't find anything.
Thanks.

Bump
Anyone else experiencing this?

This is happening for me too on Gmail.
It is also happening with my txt message. In addition to that, when it plays my txt msg notification, at the very same time it plays my default sound (so it is playing two sounds at the same time).
Are there setting for these that I haven't seen yet?
Thanks.

Do you have a third party messaging program like Handcent or Chomp installed?

How do you turn off specific notifications?
I just received my Inspire today and I'm having similar issues.
I've used Windows Mobile and iPhone for years. This is my first Android phone.
Everything is right out of the box with the stock ROM and no additional apps loaded. The only thing I did was setup my Exchange email accounts.
With Windows Mobile and the iPhone I was able to turn off notifications for new emails, but leave it on for text messages and calendar reminders. I receive a large number of emails and I need to have the email notification sound and vibration turned off.
So far I have found where to set your notification sound and where to turn off all notification sounds. I have not figured out how to turn offf just the email notification sound.

Each program has its own notification settings.
Go to mail -> menu - > more - > settings -> notification settings and there you are.
In gmail - menu -> more -> settings -> scroll down to email notifications
Messages - menu -> settings -> received notification

Thanks for the quick response.
An an Android newbie, I was looking for it in the main settings app, not in the mail program itself. I was able to turn off the email notifications and keep the other notifications on.

That is one of the big difference in iOS and Android. In Android you use the menu button within the app you are using to set the specific settings for that app. In iOS you go to the settings area to change setting for all of the apps. It took me a while to get used to when I made the switch last year. I got used to it and now it just makes sense to change settings within the program, not have to leave the program and do it somewhere else.

notification vibration

Maybe I'm just missing a setting here, but I can't seem to find where I can set the phone to vibrate and play a tone for an email or SMS text. The tone works, just no vibration. I'm coming from a N1 and had the 'vibrate' set to always. Anyone else notice this?

If you go into "messaging". go to settings and at the bottom theres a notification setting.

Thanks - I forgot about those settings. What about it vibrating for Gmail messages?

i tried taking screenshots for you but i'm having issues.
if you go into the settings of each of those applications, you can set it there. in email, gmail, and messaging there is a section in the settings called notification where you can set a unique tone and also enable vibrate.
*EDIT- tonyizhurr beat me to it

I don't remember having to change these settings on my N1, they must have been activated by default. But I digress - thank you for the help!

Thanks. This was driving me crazy. On the G2 you could find the discreet settings for different items listed together in notifications. Now I can assign different sounds.

No Sms notification sound

Well, I'm officially stumped. The vibration part of stock sms works, but no sounds.
Reflash AOKP 4.1.2, backup restore , and still no sound.
Email, voice mail, phone and G msg app all work for sound, just not stock msg app.
I have tried several different sounds, but to no avail.
This started after I did cm10.1 and flash back to AOKP 4.1.2

Do you have your notification sounds unchecked?
Also, when you flash did you wipe cache and delvik beforehand?

Wiped both.
Call me stupid, but I cannot find any box to enable / disable notification sounds.
Looked thrice just to be sure. Where on AOKP/system settings menu would it be?

If all of your notification sounds are working OK *except* text messages then I suggest you look at the notification settings within the messaging app. Open messaging then go into the settings, from there scroll down to the notifications section and make sure that checkbox is checked. You could also select 'chose ringtone' and make sure you don't have it on silent mode.

That did the trick. Always set the sound from settings and didn'trrealize that there was a spot directly in messaging.
Major thanks for the help!

HELP

I accidentally blocked notification of my gmail app in lollipop 5.0.1
Now I can't ger the notification back and I get no email notification
I long pressed the gmail notification and pressed the silent button as shown in image attached
Please help me unblock the notification for my gmail

Just follow the selections I screenshotted .
First you need to go into Settings and go into Sound & Notifications.
Now go into App Notifications
Scroll through your apps until you see GMail and open it.
Make sure both options are switched off for you, like mine.
Let me know if this worked or not.

Both are unticked but still no notifications from GMAIL...

Try this, open Gmail. Go into the navigation drawer and open Settings. From there select your account and see if the "notifications" option is enabled.
Once done, go back and go into "inbox sound & vibrate" and again make sure notifications is enabled. Once thats done, and if it still doesn't work. Go back into "inbox sound & vibrate and enable "notify for every message".
Let me know if this works.

No effect.
I guess its something related to the silent button highlighted in the image attached in the first post...that I accidentally used.

I figured it out...it was related to filter notifications
It can be removed from filter list in
Settings >privacy >filter notification
Done
Thnxx fr ur tym bdw

No worries, its good that your figured it out. Perhaps I'll remember this in case I manage to do this lol.

No notification from hangouts and other apps.

So I turned on max power save mode and turns it back on when I was able to charge my Note 7. Now I don't get any notifications from any apps. Like If I get a hangouts message or an email, no notification. It's like use background data is still off but I can't find the setting.
When I open the app (specifically hangouts) I get all the new texts and notifications.
Anyone have this issue? Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

I found the setting to restrict background data and I turned it off... Or

Where is that setting
