Is there a way to assign different alerts/sounds based on who the email is from?
I know I can do this for ringtones.
Havent seen that Yet, but I like the idea. Will Monitor this thread to see what the experts have to say.

I'd quite like to be able to filter support/work SMSes into a separate folder (so I can ignore 'em :lol. I'd also like to set up some basic spam filtering so that I only see emails which are from people for whom I have an address in my contacts.
Anyone know if it's possible, and if there's an app that'll do it?
If it's in the devlopment section, you should be prepared to check out the SDK. There are various examples for setting up POOM folders and redirecting SMSs.

Well, my question was really as to whether anyone's done a plugin to do it already. I'm thinking of writing a PPC app to do a couple of things along those lines (message filtering rules, plus the ability to send an SMS when no reception is available and the app would monitor the phone and when a signal becomes available it'd be automatically sent). Just guaging what's been done and what's not.
I haven't seen one... at least not on here, from memory..
I guess there are probably commercial apps that do it.

Profimail lates version does that...one can have the rules for incoming mails...
I originally posted this in the Hermes section but I now realize it should have been posted here. Please excuse the crosspost though.
Our Blackberry's have a way called "Level 1 Messages" to react differently to incoming emails based upon Sender and/or Subject text. This can include playing a different notification alarm and/or vibrating.
I'm trying to implement the same functionality into our new Cingular 8525 devices (WM5) and I'm not having much luck.
I've tried working with the POOM (Pocket Outlook Object Model) and it seems that doesn't cover incoming emails.
I then tried looking into MAPI and it seems that Messaging related issues only deal with SMS messages. We receive our Exchange email via Activesync over OWA (I think) and so that leaves MAPI out.
I am both amazed that this is that difficult and amazed that there aren't 500 questions related to this already here as I thought this would be a VERY common need.
If I can't figure this out, we'll have to go back to Blackberry and that's not what I want to do.
I looked at the software phoneAlarm and it supposedly has this functionality but it is very unstable and we could never get the Custom Email alerts working.
TIA - any help at all will be greatly appreciated.
Yes, I searched first and followed all those goose chases but I still have not found a working solution.
I'm interested in such an app as well and have been unable to find one. I'm reviving this thread in case something new has developed.
Phonealarm provides such functionality, as well as an application from Quore fucntions called "inboxtones". Google it
Hi,
I use my HD2 with exchange synchronisation. It works well with one big problem!
My Exchange sorted the incoming mails to several folders. The problem is that I only get a notification if a mail is incomming directly to the main folder of my mailbox. If a mail was sortet in a subfolder there is no notification. Is there a reg tweak or something else to learn the HD2 to beep every time when a new mail arrives?
It would be great if this is possible, because currently i have to look to all folders the see if there is a new mail.

Same here...
I love to know a way to do a new mail notification on 'folders' too. However, I recall it did this on my iPhone too, so I'm not holding out too much hope!
Does no-one have a solution for this - it's driving me nuts ! The only thing that I've found in my searches on the 'net is the something from blackmonlabs called message-notify (I can't post the URL due to restrictions in this forum, but Googling it should turn it up)
This would work, but is going to screw up the lovely home page of the HD2, so is not really practical. What I'm looking for is something that will display a count of ALL unread messgaes irrespective of whether they are in the Inbox or have been automatically moved to a subfolder. Obviously this should be displayed in the Email notification icon.
If anyone can come up with a solution, I (and many others judging by what I'm reading elsewhere) would be very grateful !
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 want to know the really sad thing about this?
10 years ago I had a Motorola PageWriter 2000 (2way pager) that could do this right out of the box. Now here we are with the most advanced pocket computers ever seen and I can't even set a simple mail rule for a different alert.
What gives?
I'm pretty new to Android, so I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I looked into this briefly today. Unfortunately, it could be a little tricky since email is handled at the application level and Android does not provide a "new email" broadcast message for an app to listen for. This type of service would almost have to work with the email client, but since there are many different clients that a user may have installed, it gets complicated quickly.
I never said it had to be a bolt-on app. There's more than one way to skin that cat.
Assuming that the standard mail app included with the OS is also open source, take the base code for the email app, add alert rules, then replace the standard mail app with the newly upgraded one.
Another solution (and this would be uglier and perhaps not do-able) would be to insert some sort of proxy app between the email app and the outside where alert filtering could take place before the message even passes to the email client. This would allow you to use whatever client you liked. Just disable the alert on the client and let the proxy handle the alerts.
Just ideas. Surely someone can make this work.
For host alerts at my place of work we use Nagios to send email alerts to the email associated with our phone number by the carrier so if your phone number was 555-555-1234 you could send an email to your phone with:
SMTP:[email protected]
These come through as an email address and with I believe the stock app and Handcent I can reply to these the four digit code associated with an alert to acknowledge them and sort of take responsibility for fixing the issue. I was kind of wondering why only some apps support this and how some of them just fail to send. I was also kind of hoping there was a way to make all sms applications support this. I believe the apps that support it are converting from sms to mms because the target is an email. Which brings me to my apology if this is already a thread somewhere. It's incredibly difficult to search using the same keywords someone would use to do the opposite of what you're looking for. If a solution for this exists I'm sorry. Anytime I search for a solution to this I get "how to stop sms converting to mms" and many other similarly titled threads. Any ideas?
