Email Notification

[hc3cuz]

Well i got the epic on this past wednesday and one of the first things I did was set up my email on my yahoo account then went ahead and did my gmail. Since then I have been so caught up with all the things this amazing phone can do I havnt even thought about email. So last night I goto my yahoo mail and I have 10 unread emails, but the phone never notified me or rung or anything letting me know i had something. I have my notification ringtone set but that only goes off when I receive a text. Any suggestions here guys?

I don't use Yahoo Mail but try opening the app and using the menu key look for "settings", "preferences" or "more". There should be options to let you set the notification tone, vibration, etc. for the app. Good luck.

definitly check your account settings or delete the account and try again. is your phone sync settings on for the yahoo account?

stock messaging sucks point blank and if that's what your using either forward any mail directly to gmail or maybe a market email app. many speak highly of k9, I've never used it

Do you have Juice Defender? If you kill you data while screen is off, I believe that's what causes the issue. I have the same issue with my gmail

I've been using K-9 Email for a couple of weeks now and it's great. Highly customizable and keeps my Gmail and Hotmail account up to date as often as I want. You can set the interval for how often it checks your mail from constant to once every 15 min, 30 min, hour, whatever. I also like that it lets you change the LED color for notifications. Now if I see the red LED blinking I know its a missed call, and if its blue I know its an email.

BTW if you do install K-9 make sure you uninstall any other email apps or you will get double notifications.

How do I have all of my mail sent to Google Mail? I was on a TP2 for a long time and never used google. With my Epic, I do have, of course, an account now. Anybodies help appreciated.
