Turn off e-mail notification but not other?

Hi,

just bought the new Xperia Z3 Compact and I love the phone so far.

I have one problem though:

I want to have different notification signals for different apps and I have found my way in the menys to fix that.

BUT

for E-mail I do not want any notification signal at all, only the icon at the status bar.

I cannot find any setting within the e-mail app for notification, do I have to set the standard notification signal to none?

If so, will a new sms or calendar reminder notify me anyway?

I have tried this setting for a day now but it seems as if all notifications are turned off if the standard is set to none..?

Help please.

Stock email app notifications are included in general sounds for notifications,you can try to use a 3rd party app.

You are right in that turning it off will turn all sounds for notifications off - The only thing you could try is a 3rd party app from the Play store but which one or one's I don't know

Actually, we still have settings for notifications in the email app but it's a bit hidden. You need to go to Email -> [menu] -> Settings -> [your account]  and then tap the text "Notification" (don't tap the switch next to it).

And to folks looking for the same setting in Gmail - it is in account settings within Gmail App.

Very Helpful...adding on...if  you play multiple games, you will end up with multiple e-mail accounts. You just need to un-check all the notification of every e-mail account and you may leave the one you are using.
