Email notification Z3

[Mackenobi]

Hi

Just got my phone yesterday. I dont seem to be able to activate vibration as email notification, escpecially in silent mode. I have searched internet for a solution but havent found anything. I friend who has Z2 has the "vibration option" in his email settings, but I dont. 

Anyone?

Hi and welcome to the community Marcus! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.

Open the email application > press the menu button > settings > tap on the account you would like to change the settings for. Then you have to tap on 'notifcations'. You have to tap the word 'notification' and not the on/off switch. Then you should find the settings for notification sound, vibration and notification light.

There is another issue more related to "notification". Last week I had an Xperia Z3 compact paired with my Audi MMI in-car system. Upon receiving a new email I would receive an alert on the MMI display. Since changing to a Z3+ this functionality has now disappeared, but still works for text (sms) messages. If I go in to the messages "folder" (within the in-car system, not the phone) I find two of every folder (inbox, sent items, etc.) and contained within one of these folders is the new message; I'm not sure if this something new or even related to the problem?? The original, and most pressing issue however is that there is no notification of a new email message with the Z3+ whereas with the Z3 compact there was. What's changed from one model to the other???
