sseligson · **Question about email alerts -** 10-21-2006, 11:04 AM

I have two email addresses on my BB.

One is personal the other is work.

I wantt o get the vibrate alert only on my work one. I do not want any alert on my personal email at all.

Is this possibel?

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

That is very surprising to me.

sad but true. I tried to send my Yahoo email with just a vibrate but aparently Rim thinks all email is the same

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.

So sorry I don't really understand.

What is BIS? and what is level 1 message notification?

Ah...yes...of course. I stand corrected. Sorry about the confusion and thanks for clearing that up takeshi.

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.

Okay so what do I do to set this level one thing up so I can not get a notification on one email but get an notification on the other email?
