I thought I'd try here...
Is there any way to make my Titan vibrate only when an email from activesync (exchange) arrives, and not when my Gmail IMAP mail arrives? I did some research and tried Phonealarm for a while now, it's not working for me. Their implementation is a workaround as far as I can tell (forcing another email account to behave as MMS alerts) and even that is not working right now. I think it's a "beta" feature.
I don't want sound alerts on emails, only vibrate alerts, and I only want vibrate alerts from my exchange account (work) and not from gmail account (personal...this account gets a lot of mail I could care less about).
It seems so simple but I cannot find a solution. Any ideas? Obviously, I'm using an HTC Titan and I'm also on WinMo 6.1.

I am having difficulties with e-mail notifications.
It seems that my Cingular 8525 really wants me to read my e-mail. I have 2 e-mail accounts 1 directpush, 1 pop3.
The directpush account doesn't seem to have an issue, but the pop3 account does. The notifications will continue to pop-up once every 15 minutes or so. If I dismiss the notification, it will continue to pop up. If I mark the mail as read, the notification pop-ups stop. Any ideas? I think that there is a utility to clear out the notification que, but will I have to run this every time I get mail? That doesn't make sense to me.
The other problem is the Pop3 (I EDIT THIS POST TO REMOVE DIRECTPUSH AND ADD POP3, it is pop3 that is getting mail all night) schedule. My phone doesn't seem to want to follow my schedule, I have it set to start at 7:00am and end at 7:00pm. But I can hear it getting e-mail all night long..... kind of annoying. I finally have turned off the notification sounds, but that too doesn't make sense.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

I really need some help here.
I have a WM6 Moto Q9m. My challenge is with email, and notifications. First of all, I am using ActiveSync just fine with Exchange 2003 (soon to be 2007 ). I have configured a second email account for POP3 to a mailbox that I need to monitor 24x7. Here is what I can not figure out:
1. On the home screen (default vzw profile) I have the email shortcuts for each account to include "email (outlook)" SMS, MMS, and VMail. I do not have, nor can figure out how to get a shortcut for my POP3 mailbox. When I get a new email to my pop3 inbox, I get an audio notification, but I can not see at a glance how many items are unread in that pop3 mailbox like I can in the "Email" shortcut. In WM5, the pop3 mailbox would show on the home screen in addition to the default outlook mailobx.
2. I would really like to change the audio notification to be different for the pop3 mailbox, than the default outlook mailbox. As I am monitoring the pop3 mailbox 24x7, I would like to have a "pager" sound to differentiate the pop3 email notification from the default email notification.
I know there is someone that can shed some light here. I have searched the registry but can not figure these out! Thank You!
I constantly hear the email alert on my phone that I have a new email, but when I go to the mail tab, I did not receive any emails at all. Any ideas what's going on here and how do I fix that?
Thanks.

Not sure if youve already tried but when that happened to me with SMS notifications I:
Turned notification off then on, then soft reset. Turned notifications off then on again, changed tone settings, and it was good to go. Not sure if it will work for email notification though. Worth a shot.
Cheers.
If you're using Exchange, and you have an Outlook open and connected to the same Exchange somewhere, occasionally the Outlook will receive something that Exchange thought was legit, but Outlook thinks is junk (the spam filters are separate), so the e-mail will go to your phone but will instantly get pulled again because Outlook will have moved it from the Inbox to Junk E-Mail.
If you're using POP3 or IMAP4 then I'm of no assistance.
I'm using a simple HTC mail windget (1x1), and I have the email account set to check for mail every 30 minutes. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
The mail is sure checked when the phone is on or when I go into the mail program manually, but when the phone is off, regardless of whether the mail program is running in the background - it's intermittent.
The only difference from stock settings - 3G mobile data is not always on.
On nexus one, this works just fine.
Oh yeah, this is for pop3 and hotmail accounts.
Oh yeah, and I tried k9, but it was superbuggy - creating phantom emails, then deleting some of my hotmail emails etc.
Any clues on how to trick the phone to check emails regularly on schedule?
K-9 is really giving me a lot of grief with "no subject" problems (though it checks mails properly like clockwork).
I would like to know if there is any way to set peak hours when retrieving email?
My work exchange emails are syncing during the night (Schedule set to check every hour) and it is waking me up when a new email comes in. I don't want to put the phone on silent in case I get an important call I just want to stop emails syncing during certain hours.
Any Help Please Would be Greatly Appreciated
Hmmm... you're not using Exchange email "push"...
I'll be honest, I find this a bit flakey on all of my devices. I disable account synchronisation for my email, but some stuff will still come through.
Another way is to disable the notification for your email (chose "silent" ringtone) - like that your phone will still ring but your emails will be silent,
I dunno if there's an app on the market that will automate it...
*edit*
Check out Silencr
If you can use a program called TouchDown for Exchange. By far the best email app out there. It has a Peak Hours feature and is exactly what your looking for.
Or maybe you can port from TouchWiz email which already has that feature.
