Found the fix!
Go to menu/Personalize/Personalize sound/Notification sound/Email
From there you can set your default/Message/Calendar/Email sounds.
I just tested it with the email notification sound and it works.
is this in the default email app? because I'm not finding the personalization bit.
This may work
Tap the menu button. Select Personalize. Under Personalize Sound, tap Notification Sound. Tap Email. The list shows sound you can choose. There is a dropdown at the top yo get more sounds.
ah ok, its in htc sense launcher. I was using ADW. Doesn't have an option for gmail, but I didn't mean to threadjack this thread anyway.

Is there a way to setup an mp3 for email and another one for SMS?
yea of course! you set the notification in the specific app. so to set email, go to the email app, hit menu and go to settings and change it. same for sms/mms. open up the text app, then go to menu and settings and you can change it there. this is how you set notifications for any app in android if they have notification options.
I could not find this setting in k-9.
Hi there,
Can someone tell me how I change the default app that is used to open text messages?
When I downloaded ChompSMS, I chose that as the default app, but I'd like to change that to Handcent SMS.
Thanks very much,
Menu>settings>applications>manage applications>chompsms then select the clear defaults button
Thanks very much - so how do I go about setting a new default?
the next time you open a message or anything related to messaging, your sammy will ask which app you want to use.. just check the "use by default for this action"

You see, that's what I hoped too.
But I've tried clicking on the Messaging icon and not getting a pop up box. It's just opening up in the standard app.
nope.. not the messaging icon.. because that messaging icon is a shortcut for the built in messaging app..
it must be a messaging "action" like clicking on a "send sms" button on the phonebook...
and also.. if you are referring on the messaging icon on 4 icons at the bottom, you must replace the default messaging icon (shortcut) with the handcent icon..
^instructions: click the applications icon -> menu -> edit -> drag the handcent icon/shortcut to replace the default messaging icon/shortcut
Ah ok, that makes sense. Think I've got it now ... cheers
One last question - is there a way of reverting the icon used for 'Messaging' to its default state?
you mean returning the default messaging shortcut at the bottom? yes you can, you'll notice that when you've replaced it with the handcent shortcut, the default messaging shortcut went to the applications menu. just do the same instructions to replace the handcent shortcut with the default shortcut..
since you'll be using handcent, disable the notifications of the default messaging app & use handcent's notification..
How can I disable notifications on the original notifications? I dont have any...please see my attached pictures...after settings, there is no notification settings for me to uncheck...ive transferred Handcent to the 4 main home button on the menu. but on the original messenger on the applications where i transfered it, it still has a number that its still receiving messages
curious tho. i've tried to drag the handcent app over the messaging app, once in the "applications" page. and it does nothing but let me throw it away..i desperately want to change the "messaging app" also one of the 4 apps at bottom, and make it the handcent. please help! thanks

If you don't see the Edit icon when you click the menu button, make sure you select Customizable List, then Menu, and you'll see the Edit button. Now drag the new icon the the menu bar.

I have changed my notification ringtone in both the Sound settings and the Personalize settings, and it still plays the default tone when I receive a text message, instead of the ringtone I have changed it to and applied. Any thoughts?
Go into the Messaging app, tap the 3-dot menu button & select Settings. Go into Notifications and under Notification sound, select the tone you want. If Default Notification is selected it uses the phone ringtone for calls. At least that's what mine is showing. I don't use the stock messaging app though so I never noticed which tone would actually play.

Yes, and I believe that is the only option on stock. I checked in messenger settings and don't see any option for changing contact specific notifications. This may be an option in 3rd party messenger apps though.
In Messenger - Open a current SMS thread with the contact you want to change > click 3 dot menu > select "People & options" > change notification sound under General. You can also change the color of the conversation for that contact by clicking the color icon next to their name. These changes remain even if you delete the current thread with that contact.
I haven't found a way to change notifications for GMail.

I saw that option and didn't know if that was for specific contact or system wide. Thank you!
So if I set one notification under the Sounds setting, which I believed was for all notifications except the ones I have set other sounds for, the Notification sound I set under Sound settings overrides any other settings. Example: Under sound settings, choose tone 1 for notification sound, message settings sets notification sound to tone 2, tone 1 plays for all notifications including messages. On my S8 I could have different notification tones for system and messages. I'm using stock messaging app. Any ideas?
May be a messages issue as i am using separate notification tones for most of my apps e.g whatsapp, signal etc.

You can/should change individual app notification sounds via the individual app settings.
You can also set them all in Settings > Notifications > "See all > choose All from the dropdown menu. you can then click any app to change the notification settings for it.
