The phone and sms notifications are phone based. The e-mail notifications are windows based (poutlook). That may be your problem. I've verified this and that appears to be how it works. If you want your phone on vibrate, then you'll have to set the vibrate option in sounds and notifications for your e-mails.
The e-mail sound is if you notice, is recorded at a "lower volume". This is so that throughout the day, the notification on my phone doesn't disturb my customers. If I were selling something, most customers consider it rude. Simply because most answer their phone and walk off. Those that don't will decide to not to purchase something because for all they know, someone calling me at work = life or death and they had better not buy anything so I can answer the phone.
These are all controlled by registry edits. You make seek someone that can write a quick toggler app to do what you want.
That was a good babble.
