Sound Notification with Hotmail - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
Have tried to search arround but cant seem to find anything (my apologies if I have missed something obvious - so if anyone does have a link to a thread, ill more than happy to read through it rather than someone re-writing the answer!)
Is it possible to have a sound notification if there are any new hotmail messages. I understand this maybe difficult or not possible as its not physically receiving a message, more sync'ing with hotmail and showing the unread items.
Any help or guidance will be much appreciated!
Regards,
Craig

This should work by simply assigning an audio file under "new mail notification" in the sounds setting. I get my hotmail account pushed instantly as the mail comes and the sound does alert me of it.

I thought it was that easy....but in the "sounds and notifications" settings I have choosen a sound file, display notification, and illumination for new email notifications and still get nothing for Hotmail or Comcast new emails. I do however get sound/display/illumination for new mail from my Outlook account which is why it seemed odd to me. I have only had the phone for a couple weeks and thought that it giving me notifications before I upgraded to the latest R2A rom X1A american version...

Bigfeat - Thanks for your help, like zeffX1A, I have assigned a sound in the options, this works when I receive email via my POP and IMAP accounts but when Hotmail Syncs, I dont get any notifications at all (sound, Illumination, Vibration etc)

I really would like to see a solution for this.
As far as I know, you do get a notification when you select the syncing option as "when they arrive" aka push. But for me push hotmail is not working at all. (Messenger on home computer signed in, but not as online or on the phone) Sometimes it does work, but more often it refuses to do so.
Is there maybe different software that gives notification on new hotmail mail when you check periodically?

hi i seriously need a solution to this too.
i selected sync frequency to As Items Arrive, under the Sound and Notification settings, i also assigned a tone for new email msg, but i still dun get a notification whenever i have a new email, its not notifying mi at all, not even a display of new mails on the Today screen.
i need push setting for my hotmail account. can any1 help how to set it to notify me whenever there is new mail?
appreciate ur help

found any solution for it?

Same problem: No alert notification on new Hotmail message
Hello!
I have the same problem described above (more or less)
I can ear the sound that I've assigned to new emails when I receive a new GMAIL message (I have it configured to query server each 60 minutes for new mail), this works perfectly.
But it is not the same with HOTMAIL messages , I don't understand why is this way! (I have configured HOTMAIL to read mail each 60 minutes too)
Ok, the reading and downloading methods for GMAIL and HOTMAIL are different, as second it's done by the Windows Live Application, but in both cases the messages ends in its inboxes in HD2, so... why the GMAIL alert sounds, and HOTMAIL not?
What can we do? T_T
Regards!

you can get hotmail sound and vibrate notification if you setup your hotmail at Windows Live app. It works for me

Solved for me
Hello everyone,
It's weird but now, suddenly, it works!... without doing anything special
It is possible, too, to work sometimes and sometimes not (sometimes you can hear the sound notification in hotmail and sometimes only receive mail without this sound alert)... but I'm not sure of this.

Kaiser and Googlemail

Hi everyone,
i have the following problem: when i get my mail via pop3 from googlemail i also receive the send messages which are stored in google in my inbox.
The support from T-Mobile said they know the problem and the know it has to do with the setting, but they can't tell me which the setting is.
Can somebody help me please.
Gmail is currently adding IMAP to all users. log in and check your gmail settings to see if you gmail acct has it added yet. if it does, try using imap instead on your kaiser.
I actually have IMAP setup through gmail on my Wizard. I recieve the message headers but the bodies of the mail are blank. Not sure if I have something set wrong but AFAIK my phone is told to download the full message, no size limitations.
Change your account settings on the Kaiser. It's set to pull headers only and you can tweak that considerably. I'm getting all the text, but leaving attachments there.
You arent alone, buddy.

I have no problems with my Gmail account when I access my mail using the POP settings. When I try to access my email using the IMAP settings I have the same problem with the body of my messages coming up blank. I guess the IMAP server is so new, they are having problems showing threaded messages...
Yep, same issue for me as well.
its a common issue for all users of pop...it has something to do with their chat-style interface, even in pop.
i stopped using it because the sent messages get so annoying to delete. i just make gmai.com my home page now

Notification/Sound

Hi all,
Little question here. My Kaiser connects to the internet trough wifi (will soon be able to connect through 3G) which works fine. I set up some settings to auto-check for new mail. I get gmail over pop3 and it nicely gives me a notification for new mail, it plays a sound and everything. However when my Windows Live mail (hotmail) synchronizes and it gets new mail it doesn't notify or play a sound in any way. In HTC Home the number does change to 1new mail but I'd like to be notified with a sound or message. I haven't found any settings that work yet in either the Live mail program or the phone itself.
I tried to let my hotmail mail send to my gmail account but hotmail won't do that unless the adress is @msn or @live @hotmail, so that workaround isn't working.
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions to get this notification running.

Exchange vs POP3 E-mail Notifications

Hi all,
Hoping someone has a fix or recommendation for the following issue I've noticed.
I've got a Yahoo e-mail account setup (POP3 - automatic e-mail retrieval every 15 minutes). When I receive an e-mail, I receive the e-mail notification in the taskbar and it won't go away until I dismiss it or view the e-mail. The notification works fine.
I also have an Exchange account setup (direct push). When I receive an e-mail I get the e-mail notification in the taskbar, however, it eventually disappears on it's own after a few minutes even though I haven't dismissed it or read the e-mail.
Is there a registry setting I can tweak to correct this?
Thanks

problem with e-mail notification bubble!!

i have the touch diamond for sprint and the little yellow bubble that tells you how many unread emails you have always says four (4) even tho i have no unread emails. i have tried deleting my email account off the phone and the bubble stays there. anybody know how to fix it other than a hard reset?
First check other accounts, maybe they have unread mails. If that's not the case, try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360009
i only have one pop3 email account and sprint picture mail as a default and i triple checked to see if i have unread email...tried the thread u sent me but it didnt work =( any other ideas on how to fix this problem?
Did you also check all the other accounts? There is a default outlook account and maybe even sms/mms accounts.
I once had a welcome message in a default account and searched for a loooong time before I found it.
If that and the fix from my earlier link doesn't work I'm afraid I'm out of options
!!!
it was 4 new welcome messages in my outlook account! thanks man.. i had to go to the inbox drop down menu to realize the new emails were in that account. kinda made me feel dumb
Glad it works now

Gmail and sent/reply messages

I've been trying to find a way to fix this...
Is there a way or a setting somewhere that stops the Tilt from downloading messages I send/reply or is that a setting a gmail. It is annoying when I reply to an email using the gmail web interface or with outlook on my PC, then my phone will download my mail as a new message. I don't really want to set up some sort of filter, since some times when I send an email, I will CC myself, but I am just annoyed by it downloading every single reply.
Uuuuuhhhhhhh o.k.
stop CC'ing yourself, just check your sent box... too simple or not complex enough a solution?

Did you read the problem or not understand it? The problem is when I reply to emails, the Tilt will download it as a new message. Where did I state that I CC myself all the time? What does checking my sent messages have anything to do with what the Tilt is downloading?
little snippy...
Pretty sure you not only said it, but now you've highlighted the fact that you sometimes CC yourself on emails sent, so yes, you would receive a copy. You would check your sent box to view messages that you have sent rather than CC'ing yourself. Mighty snippy for someone asking for help. Are you using a threaded version of Gmail? that's the only reason I could think you would receive a copy of the conversation, aside from CC'ing yourself.
If you read it, it says SOMETIMES. My problem is EVERY email reply gets downloaded. The CCs aren't a problem and not something I am complaining about. I am complaining about all replies done by me being downloaded as a new email. My response to you would have been different if you actually replied like you read it what the problem was.
updated after you posted
Trying again, are you using a threaded style of Gmail or the true Gmail website?
Not really sure. I rarely ever use the gmail website unless I am at a different computer. Most of my email comes to my phone and PC, which I remote into during work and just use Outlook to respond if I can. I'll try to explain the problem better. I apologize, just having a hectic day at work.
When someone emails me, the Tilt will download the email.
I will reply back using the tilt, or Outlook on my PC, and every once in a while, the gmail web interface. NOT CCing myself.
Tilt then downloads again, my reply and puts it in my inbox.
The only time I CC myself, is when I send out a new email that I feel is important. I do this because I like to have a copy for myself, and I empty my sent box on a weekly basis.
Also, I just did a web search on this threaded gmail thing you were talking about. It appears that is a 'feature' in gmail and it can't be disabled. It puts my replys in a 'conversation' style so it thinks that my replies are new messages and just downloads them. I guess I just have to deal with it.
More questions
Does ONLY the tilt capture all replies or do they also show up on your box at home and is this independant of from where you reply (home box or tilt)? Gmail uses a conversation view that shows reply messages as a long conversation would appear in MMS/SMS. I can't imagine that this would cause the problem but may be another piece to this puzzle.
Don't worry about my comments, I'm a smart-ass. Pretty much everyone is here to help and there are many more smart-assier (and just plain smarter) than me. Just roll with the punches and enjoy the website.
I must type slowly
I use Gmail and reply from my tilt as well, but have not had a problem. But i don't use a web app, I have gmail as a separate account that I access just like standard push-mail. What way do you use gmail?
Same problem
When I used my tilt I was having the same problem. I would send an email from my tilt (from a push account I had set up on the phone) and would receive a copy of the sent mail as a new message. I had that phone for 2 years and used various roms and could never stop it from doing so. It was very annoying to say the least. Some light on this matter would be awesome.
If I can, I just use email from the phone, or outlook on my PC if there is a large attachment. It only does it on the Tilt. My outlook on the PC is only showing up the emails from other people, and not myself. I can see on the web interface my replies though if I log on.
I have it set up on the Tilt as an account as well, so I am not using the gmail interface thru the phone. Not sure how I have it setup or if it is a seperate email software. I just click on messages and added the email account. It doesn't matter where I reply from. I also have a Yahoo account set up and it doesn't do this.
Also, the phone info:
Duttys WM6.1 build 19700
radio 1.65.14.06
I had this problem once and I was because I forget to change the "[email protected]" that I used during the initial setup back to my actual e-mail address.
I just fixed the issue. I deleted the account from the phone and recreated a new one and set it up as IMAP. I think the issue at first was because I had it set up and let the phone download the settings for me and it configured it as POP. This time, I set up everything manually and tested it out and it appears to be fine now.
