Do Not Alert on Emails
 

Hello,

I am fairly new to the phone, but I cannot figure out how to disable the screen alerts when I get new emails. I know I can control the device vibration (turn it off using the profile), but how can I disable the yellow email pop up when I get new email?

Ideally, I would want to disable the vibration and alert just for emails, and keep them for all other system events.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

no idea on the above, but why do all of your posts have exclamation marks? just checked....

That sign is universal for "Warning" - and you are asking questions? - not really the same as a warning......

You bring up good points, thanks.

If anyone can assist with any insight on the email alert situation please feel free to post.

In email main view open menu > Settings > untick Incoming notifications.

Doesnt exist for me.

Re: Do Not Alert on Emails
 

I do not have it either.
Maybe it's not available with exchange sync.

Re: Do Not Alert on Emails
 

Not on mine, either - and that's without running exchange sync...

I just opted to manually update emails once away from work, and switch back to intervals once back at the desk.

I keep several (more than 5 email accts) on this and do get annoyed to see it was spam. I try to remember the distinct sounds IMs, sms, missed calls as the important ones to pick up when I am out and about. Emails alerts can definitely wait...

the only setting besides disabling email auto updates is the notification light, now only if it added notification (x) sound off on individual alerts be nice.

The item listed does not exist for me either.

Any more thoughts?

I've seen some petty complaints on internet forums, but that just takes the biscuit!

BTW an exclamation mark is just that - to turn a statement into an exclamation for extra emphasis. It has nothing to do with warnings unless it's used on a sign. So your "complaint" lecturing others on writing styles was incorrect anyway :P

I'm glad someone backs me up here =)

Re: Do Not Alert on Emails
 

No such options in mine either (with both IMAP and MfE accounts). Care to elaborate?

Re: Do Not Alert on Emails
 

In email main view open menu > Settings > untick Incoming notifications does exist in the upcoming release PR1.2.
It is NOT yet included in 3.2010.02-8, see https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5341 .
(By the way, no need to add comments to that report. All said already.)

Re: Do Not Alert on Emails
 

Thanks for the pointer to that bug, Andre.

I see I'm a bit late to the party. What I'd like to have is the ability to disable email alerts except those with headers containing one of:

• X-Priority: 1
• X-MSMailPriority: High

Any parameters that apply to email alerts should be modifiable at the account level, and not have global effect.

Good luck getting that answer, I wasn't even able to get my simpler question answered. But then again, this isn't a paid forum, so free is free :)

Re: Do Not Alert on Emails
 

I was just actually wondering the exact same thing, or at least some functionality to do that with user selectable headers & values. I don't suppose there's a feature request/brainstorm on that already? Anyone else interested?

if you are using mail for exchange, make sure you install the mfefolders app, really worth it so that junk, deleted and other folders you don't want to see aren't synced.......cuts down on probably 90% of the notifications i was getting
