Here is my problem - I use push email in my office environment. But whe I work at my desk I do not really need it - in fact it is annoying to have all email notifications on the phoe. So my idea is to have an application that when my phone is in the proximity of my computer, the application switches off push email. I have seen something similar that uses bluetooth mechanism to lock/unlock the computer.

I guess it's been pretty much ruled out that there is no way to enable a push mail alert with the device in standby. Are there any programmers here that would we be able to create a small program that would make the device vibrate when in standby and a new e-mail is pushed through?
For example, I want to check my IMAP e-mail account automatically every hour, but only in the 10-23 time interval. The reason, besides data traffic reduction, is that the notification sound wakes me up when I sleep.
Is there a program that can do that, while still being integrated with the windows mobile mail client (so that I receive warnings in SPB panel, Xperia panel, today screen etc.)?
Thanks!
rk-OSR (from xda somewhere) lets you set specific times. It's got a badly designed UI, but works fine when set up properly.
PhoneWeaver (commercial) lets you set up timed profiles to turn of the sound and phone between 00:00 and 09:00 and so on. It's got a bunch of options to make it fit your needs.
G-profile from Ageye lets you setup time based profiles that can let you turn off the sound form new emails... Means you can still recieve them and but will not be waked by them!
G- profile has a lot more benefits as well, downside is I experice some battery drainage but not to bad.

Thanks! PhoneWeaver does the job, I will also try G-profile.
With the profile programs I just managed to "mute" the e-mail alarm sound, but it will be nicer to have a small program that changes the e-mail checking interval to None during specific hours.
Have you tried rk-OSR ?
Hello, i dont get any notifications when my phone is on standby mode.
this includes:
Email
SMS
Alarms (windows alarms)
notifications for calendar events.
how does i fix?
okay, so try going to: settings - all settings - personal - sounds and notifications. There thick what you want. With the SMS notification while on stand-by, there is a bug which HTC solved (releasing a hotfix - found on htc.com). Tell me if you have any more problems and if you have solved these problems
No calemdar notofocation when the pin is set-up
Hi,
I have a similar problem. When the phone is on standby and locked (eg. after 15 min) I can not get any calendar notification working.
They all show up when I wake up the phone and enter my code.
The only workaround is to disable the lock, but I need it to be set-up (company policy)
Note that other notifications are ok:
- Call
- SMS (after installing the patch from HTC)
- Alarm
Thanks

Any progress on this?, I have installed the official htc hotfix for sms, makes no difference for me.
While the sms not notifying is a frustration, I could probably live with it but...
Alarms are the real problem for me... I can't rely on the device as an alarm clock as the alarm simply doesn't sound until I bring it out of standby with the power button.
Any cure for this, is it hardware or software? do cooked roms exhibit same behaviour?

I have the same problem. I have downloaded the fix from HTC, but still my email does not play a sound (the LED flashes though).
I have not checked other things (SMS, alarms etc.)
It would seem VERY silly if the alarm doesn't sound!!!!
For e-mail, you have to go and turn on the notification for that in the sounds and notifications settings,
Settings-->All Settings-->Personal-->Sounds and Notifications-->Notifications-->Event:Messaging: New e-mail message
And select it to play a sound of your choosing.
it is not switched on by default, in this case that is good for me, if I got a notification alarm every time I got a new e-mail, my phone would be sounding alarms pretty much all the time....
The alarm problem not waking from standby, I have posted in another thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544112 a possible cure, working for me for 2 days at least...

This is more of an annoyance and not really a problem but curious to see if anyone has a workaround. I use SMS and EMail notification sounds and they work no problem. SMS comes in and it dings...that's it. Now with email I use a notification sound for incoming mail with my exchange server. New mail comes in, notification sound goes off as you'd expect. The difference being on the email it will continue to notify every 5 minutes until I open mail. I don't need to be reminded every 5 minutes. I don't use gmail or pop3 so I'm not sure if it does it with those as well or if it's Exchange specific. Anyone else get this and/or figured out how to limit it to a single notification?
[UPDATE] Figured it out. Just had to change the Update schedule from 5 minutes to Push mail. Thought I had that set already but apparently not. Now it notifies only once.
Got this app with a separate lockscreen laying on top of the native pin locked one.
I got a alert function, which means when i open the app only (still no access to the rest of the phone, press "alert" it send sms in background, but when sending the mail, i have to unlock the phone to execute and send that, disregarding the default mail account, Gmail or any other mail.
Any good advice on solving this, so the email also sends out in the background without seeing it, or having to unlock the phone.
Mail sender/receiver and content is predefined in the app before calling it up...
Thx :cyclops:
