Manage Notifications
Assuming you use either push or scheduled fetch, new messages will arrive on your device
from time to time without any intervention on your part—even if Mail isn't running or the
device's display is turned off. You can choose whether or how you want your device to alert
you when this happens. The default behavior is for your device to play a sound when a new
message arrives—and, if you have Vibrate turned on as part of your ringer settings (on the
iPhone only), to vibrate as well. You can choose one or more additional notification options,
too, making it more likely that you'll notice important incoming messages. Conversely, you
can turn off notification types that you find annoying or intrusive.
The options you can adjust fall into two categories: sounds and vibrations (discussed next),
and Notification Center notifications (discussed just ahead).
Sound and Vibration Notifications
Configure system-wide sound and vibration notifications (for all email accounts) as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Sounds.
2. Under the Sounds heading (iPad or iPod touch) or Sound and Vibration Patterns
(iPhone), set the options you prefer:
▪ To hear a sound when new messages arrive, tap New Mail and then
tap the sound you want to hear for new messages. For no sound, tap
None.
▪ For the iPhone only, to also (or instead) feel a vibration when new
messages arrive, set Vibration (still under New Mail) to the pattern
you prefer, or tap Create New Vibration to make your own pattern.
For no vibration, tap None.
▪ To hear a sound when outgoing messages are sent, tap Sent Mail
and then tap the sound you want to hear when messages are sent.
For no sound, tap None.
