Email notification on Hero

[GJP]

I'm getting really frustrated with the notifications for my Hero. In particular, the emails I receive only cause the light to flash, no sound or vibration despite the settings suggesting that this should work. Obviously this is no use to me when the phone is in my pocket!

Any ideas as to how I can sort this out?

Thanks in advance.

There are settings for notification for the phone and also for email. I'm using gmail and that's how it works for me. Go to mail setting select ringtones. I was even able to add voice ringtones to notifications for my gmail. "you have mail"
Hope this helps

That worked a treat, thanks.

Hi all,
I got my hero 3 days ago and im in love with it ha. But i would love to know, in response to this comment here, how exactly you can make the email say "youve got mail", this would be far preferable to the current setting i have it on.. when i go into my gmail account and click menu > more > settings > notification settings, it just has "email notifications, notifiication sound, notification vibrate". all of these are set you on, but there doesnt seem to be a way of changing them from here?
Am i being a stupid Hero Rookie?

Thankyou

p.s i love android users

First you will need a file manager, I use Astro. Then using a ringtone app download a you have mail alert. Now in Astro move the "you have mail" message into a new folder and name it notification. Now go to email setting and you should be able to see your new "you got mail" alert

Good luck

Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Select app you want to uninstall and tap "uninstall".
