I do not believe that is possible, and there is no provision under Profiles to have separate notifications...there is only the one listing.

This is exactly what Level 1 messaging/notification is designed for. If you're on BIS 2.0+ (I haven't been on an older BIS in a long time) try this:

Go to the filter settings for your email account that you want notification. Leave the other account filters alone. Create a new filter. Set "Apply filter when:" to "new mail arrives". Check "forward messages to handheld" also check "Level 1 notification".

On your handheld, disable/mute the messages alerts. Instead set the Level 1 alerts to whatever your message alerts were set to.

With this arrangement you're only notified when Level 1 messages arrive instead of all messages. Assuming that the filter setup above works properly you should be set.

Ok so that sound like it should work fine but when i go to my filters it only shows one email account available. The second email I have and receive on the BB is not listed and there is no way to add one to the filters. It looks like
This is not always available at least on my unit

well... you're gonna have some learning to do before you get this set up then.

BIS = Blackberry Internet Service

Level 1 Message Notification = setting available on the BB

For what it's worth, when OS 4.2 is released, it will give you the option to assign different ringtones for different e-mail accounts.
