remove email sound alerts on htc inspire

Open up the mail app and select menu > more > settings > notification settings and turn off sound.  At least this is how it is on the new gingerbread ROM.

 

your advice is great but I want sound alerts for text messages only BUT NOT emails. I couldn't find how to turn off for emails only. appreciate your help.

Second post in this thread.

when u went to ur emails..did u click on the menu button at the bottom of ur phone..in between the home and back buttons? when u click on it it should say more next to accounts list..once u click on more it should say new account and settings..click on settings..then acct settings general settings and notification settings should come up..when u click notification settings it should say email notifications,and notification sound..u just click in the box beside it to turn them off

no its 2 things they ask just uncheck the notification sound but keep the notification alerts checked..i still get the notification in my status i just unchecked the one that says notification sound..so it shows when i have an email i just dont hear the alert..but when i look at my phone it shows how many emails i have recieved

ok, we'll try this again...alot of us, me included, have more than one kind of email account set up on our inspires and i think hazel was giving you the correct instructions for the stock MAIL app, however, i believe that you may have the GMAIL, which is just a little bit different.......go to the little gmail widget, the one you tap on to see your emails....tap on it...once you are IN the gmail app where you see the list of all your emails, tap the menu button at the bottom of your phone, then hit MORE, then hit SETTINGS, then look for NOTIFICATIONS SETTINGS, then adjust from there.......EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS is used to notify you in the notifications bar, make sure it is checked... then right below that it says SELECT RINGTONE, click on that and then scroll up thru the ringtones, SILENT is a choice at the top of your ringtones list , CHOOSE IT! then select OK... then, just below "select ringtones" you'll see VIBRATE, from there you may choose if you want your phone to vibrate for new emails or not and how and when it vibrates....and there you go...this has zero effect on your text notifications since it is done from inside the EMAIL settings, it is strictly for email, hope this finally gets it done for ya    also, once you've turned email sound to silent, it might be a good idea to turn your general notifications sound back up so that you can hear texts and voicemail...hope this helps
