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.

I have my notifications set to notify me when mail arrives, with a message popup and the sound "youve got mail" downloaded from this forum.
when I press send receive, I get no message and no sound, any known reasons? perhaps it may only work on an automatic send and receive and not when the user presses send receive.
anybody? everybody? do you get notified? i have Gmail, Hotmail, Outlook Sync and a straight POP account, and none of them provide me with a notification.
Do you, dont you?
just poppin it back up the list, surprised I cant get a response either way, yeah, nay?
simon_darley: I think notifications only alert when you need notifying, ie when you receive an email "unbidden" so to speak.
Pressing send receive won't "notify" you because you're instructing the device to do this. That's the theory, but my experience with VJSMSSender's notifications lead me to believe it works like this.
It could be possible to reverse engineer a notification as you request, but it'd be crufty.

Hi all,
Am a bit annoyed with the notifications on Mail on my phone. I have it up to notify Mon-Fri 08.30 - 21.30 but when it wants to, it notifies me at, say 2.30 in the morning, then other times it doesnt, has anyone else noticed that it is very erratic?
What alternatives do we have, app-wise, that I can use instead of Mail (whic I like apart from the above problem) that I can set a timetable and days to check for mail (POP3).
Also, is there a way to change he notification for new mail (and new SMS for that case).
Thanks.
Is this a known bug on HD2 roms or am I doing someting dumb. Whenever I get an email, it arrives, but there's no sound, no vibrate and no email count on the start screen. I have checked under settings and an alert is assigned to new email so shouldnt i be getting something (I do get a sound for calendar reminders).
Thanks.
PS - am using Elminster WP7
So here's my problem - when I read an e-mail from gmail on my computer, I get a notification from gmail on the phone that I have a new email. I guess when the new mail number goes down, it sends a notification, even though I haven't actually gotten a new email. For instance, if I have 10 unread emails in gmail, and read one of them on a computer, my phone will emit one notification, when the unread count goes from 10 to 9. It's starting to drive me nuts, but I can't find how to fix it.
Anyone else experience this? How can I fix it so that my phone gmail only gives a notification when a new email actually arrives? Not every time the unread count changes?
No responses...? I'm assuming either I wasn't clear or no one else is experiencing this...or that this is the norm and I'm bat****. Either way, I'd appreciate someone with some info to tell me which of these is the reality, cuz if there IS something I can do about it, I would really like to know. Or, if there's nothing I can do about it, to just make myself get over it lol.
Again, briefly: When I read a gmail email on my computer, I get a notification on my phone showing that the unread messages have gone down by one. Is there a setting so that I only get notifications when a NEW EMAIL actually arrives?
I swear I've been playing all around with gmail and can't figure this out.
Im having a problem with it telling me I have 10 emails in the application on phone, but I have to sync a dozen times for it to show me a few of them.
Anyone else experiencing this? I have work Exchange account set-up through the stock E-Mail app. I have the notification box not checked at all in both my account settings as well as the priority sender options.
Yet every time I get an e-mail, I get a notification, the LED light, and a beep.
Any ideas?
