Re: Any way to disable email/SMS notifications?

Absomolutely!

Email:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877 D65A-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}
Options = 0

See below, a value of zero should turn it all off.

I'm not exactly sure which key is for sms, but under each of the sub_keys HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{???-???-example-???} (about 17 of them) has the value "options" and they all seem to behave the same. Look in each one and you should be able to spot the one for SMS. Here is a breakdown of what the value "Options" does...

1000 = display message....8 decimal

So in binary 0000-1111 would have your phone ring, vibrate, flash led, display message. I have also included the decimal values as well for those not familiar with binary. The same applies to all sounds that have that option in the personal settings tab.
Sorry, don't know about that envelope on the title bar....and did I mention this works on the 6700/6800/6900, not sure on a treo...
