Change alert sound for your Email account 7
Just as setting a ringtone is a great way to distinguish your phone from others, you can also set a unique alert or ringtone for each of your email accounts. To do this, first open up the email app, simply swipe down from the top-left to bring up the Email Application drop-down, select "Preferences & Accounts" and then tap on the specific account (in the ACCOUNTS section) you want to update. Once inside the Account setup screen, there will be a "NEW MESSAGE" section, with a row for an "Alert" option. Tap on that row and if you select "Ringtone", a third row will appear that will you can tap to choose your ringtone (for detailed directions on this process, see our Set a Ringtone tip). Just repeat this process for each of your email addresses and you will always know which account your new messages are coming in to.

A quick question... why is it that anytime you go into the email Preferences option, it resets any signature you have on your email? I finally typed mine into memos so that I could just copy and paste instead of having to enter each time.
Is this a bug or is there some rhyme or reason to it?
Thanks....
I wanna know why the email app won't sync with my AT&T U-Verse email account!
Another question. Is there a way to change the alarm setting for all e-mail accounts at the same time? I would like to silence the e-mail alert at night, but turning off the ringer keeps my alarm from going off in the morning.
You know there's a setting in the alarm app to still ring if on silent mode right?
Yes. But, I keep my phone ringer on even at night. So, the cancel switch doesn't work for me to just cancel the email alert.
I turn my email (and chat) sounds off when I'm on call for work at night. Click on email, preferences, account. Under new messages heading, tap alert and from the drop down menu, select mute. You can switch it back in the morning the same way, but select system sound or ringtone (whatever you use).hope this helps. I wish there was a one step method to do this.
RE: FIRST POST
had this question before, it always cancelled signature.
Hint: will work! - just remove double dash from signature "--" , and enjoy your own signature! It's probably how palm protects it's advertisement signature. Good luck!
