I only have 1 account linked to the phone, a Gmail account. I looked in the Gmail app settings and can't find a way to silence the ringtone everytime I receive an email.
Is there a way to silence the email notification without silencing SMS?
from gmail app, menu, settings, click on your email address, ringtone & vibrate option

I just purchased the Sprint Hero today and I was trying to customize my SMS and email tones for each of my email accounts. When I go into Settings--> Sounds--> Notifications I can change the sound for ALL notifications. But is there a way to have a distinct tone for SMS and each email account. I am brand new to Android, so excuse me if this seems like an obvious answer. Thanks.
I believe if you go into each application (like gmail or sms) you press the menu option and change the ringtone. I had to do that yesterday and it works ok (I only tried changing the gmail ringer and sms).
My Gmail email currently notifies me as soon as I receive an email, which is very annoying because sometimes I'll check it and put my phone down and then immediately get another email. I don't want to disable notifications completely, I just want to set it to only refresh every 30-60 minutes or so. I've seen this option in the default Mail app but can't find it in Gmail. Is there any way to do this?
If you are using the gmail app on ur phone, it is set to "push" notifications. that means it gives u email right when it receives with a 5-10 sec delay. There is no way to do a "poll" notification, which is the kind of thing you want. tbh push is better because there is no battery drain while poll has to go on the gmail servers every 30 mins or however you set it to. but if u really want it then just use ur email app.

The closest I'd say you can get with the actual Gmail app itself is to check the "notify once" option in account settings. I know that's not quite what you're talking about, though.
Dataslycer is right. Since Gmail is natively push, you're going to get immediate notification of a message. The only way to do exactly what you're talking about is to enable imap in your Gmail account settings on the web, then add your Gmail account as an imap account in the phone's mail app. You can tweak as you like there. But, as Dataslycer said, imap polling will really take a chunk out of your battery life.

How much battery would polling use? I have my business email set up in the Mail app and it's set to refresh every 30 minutes. The only thing I don't like about Gmail pushing the messages immediately is I can't stand my phone going off so often and the notification LED always blinking and I haven't found a way to disable the LED for Gmail only without disabling notifications for Gmail altogether.

If you're using a separate imap for your work email, then adding gmail as another imap wouldn't be a problem in terms of battery life. Half-hour increments for polling also is fine in terms of battery life. However, if you added gmail as an imap to the native mail app like you have done for your work email, you would lose certain functionality like archiving. I had mentioned the "notify once" option in the gmail app. Check that. What it does is this: it will notify you once of a new message in your gmail (as you choose- sound, vibrate, etc.), but it will not notify you of any other new emails until you check your messages. Maybe this would be a compromise that would work for you? In terms of the LED flash notification, I'm not sure if unchecking "email" in Android settings> display> flash notifications would disable the LED for gmail. Of course it would disable the LED for new work emails in the native mail app. If that's not a problem, check it out. I'd be interested to know the result.

You may or may not know this but the default settings in Gmail are to notify once, not for every new email.
The setting is kind of buried.
To notify for every email you need to go to
Menu
More
Settings
Account settings (click on each account individually)
Labels to notify
Inbox
Notify once
Now you can get notifications for all emails as they come in.
Should prob be in android general
Do the settings need to be set up a specific way to get my gmail mail to notify me upon arrival of new msg? Once I set up acct it will load my inbox based upon the settings I chose, but after that, I don't receive any mail thru that app. Even if I refresh, I don't have my new mail. Thru Gmail app, I always receive notifications. I use 3 different email accts & like having access to them from 1 app.
I think you need to go into the Mail app settings and and set your receive settings. Make sure the the app is set to "push" emails..meaning you will be notified as they are received.

Hi Everyone,
I'm an HTC Titan user and I love it.....recently I noticed that I don't get a notification on the lock screen for new emails from my gmail account. However, if I unlock the screen the live tile does give the notification. This is not so for my other email accounts on the phone. What could be the cause of this and how can I rectify it?

I use Gmail for everything and have it set to receive email at is arrives on the google servers and have a ringtone assigned to Email and I get lockscreen notifications.
So make sure under Account Settings you have it set to "Push" or "arrive" under mail sync. And that you have an alert set for email under "Ringtones"
Email Notification Gmail
Thanks but I couldn't find "push" or "arrive" in my account setting.
