My work wants to send me sms messages when I'm on call so they have to be able to wake me up. However, I don't want every text to be ear shattering. Is there a way to configure it so that the urgent texts from my company have one ring tone and everything else has another?
Alternatively, is it possible to set up different notification sounds for each mailbox? I'd like to have my work email have one sound and my personal email have another.
Much thanks.
Try Ringo for different text message sounds at:

I'm not sure about how to have different sounds for emails though.
Thanks a lot, that's exactly what I wanted!

I tried searching the internet and xda-forums, but found nothing. I hope this isn't a duplicate request.
I have 4 different e-mail accounts configured on my TyTN. I would so much like each of them have their own notification sounds on new e-mail. I have one account only for my system monitors alert e-mails and it would be great to have this alarm siren scare the beep out of me every time something went wrong. But obviously I wouldn't want that for my other e-mails.
Thanks for your time!
No-one? Anything? *bump*
There's an excellent Program that will do this
It's called "Inbox Tones" by Qorefunctions (http://mobileqore.moonfruit.com/)
It allows you to set a unique ringtone for each email account, and also for individual emails (ie specific persons) and also for groups.
It's solid and well worth the $
I would recommend that you download the Trial version and see if it does what you want.
But before buying it, I'd wait a bit - cause a little Birdie has told me that they ar ereleasing a new App for the PPC next month that combines the features of both Inbox Tones, and their other excellent program LED Alerts, and this App will also allow repeating alerts. It's NOT going to be offered as an 'Upgrade' to current users of Inbox Tones, so you if you like Inbox Tones you might wait for it to show up.
Hope this helps!

Thank you. The yahoo/gmail push program also seems cool. I am going to download the trial and see if it up to snuff.
Is it possible to have different notification sounds for different items. Im coming from windows mobile were I could set one for email,sms,mms, and just about any other sound that came out of the phone. All i can find on my evo is to set a single notification sound for everything. Or am I looking in the wrong spot.
thanks
Under, gmail settings you can set one ring tone, for talk another. I assume other email accounts, text and stuff is similar. I am checking...
under messages, you can set a separate one for sms, and I am guessing but I assume you may be able to customize ring tone based on individual contacts, or at least groups
..It looks like if you open the People app, you can select a contact and set a specific one for that person.
Is there a way on this phone to change individual notifications for contacts and text messages? What I would really like to do is mute text messages just from a certain contact. Is there an app I can maybe even download that will help with this?
Handcent will do what you want...
Either Handcent or Go SMS either one would actually do what your asking for some have said Handcent has a wake lock but ymmv but usually use Go SMS
Several years ago I found an app here called Txt Secretary which allowed me to customize my text message notification by contact so that everyone that sent me a text message had their own alert tone so I would know who was texting me just by which alert was played which I really liked a lot & it was working great until about three days ago. Now I can't find the cab that I had for the program & for some reason the program is no longer working. I really liked that program & want to be able to have different text alerts depending on who is texting me so can anyone please help me out w/this. It is really important to me to be able to have the distinction of who is texting me by the alert tone that is played. If anyone has this cab or knows where I can get it please let me know. Thank you

Maybe?
Thx but that is not the program that I am looking for. I want the program that will allow me to change the txt tone that is played depending on who is sending me the txt.
Is there any way to have the HTC Messages app have the notification for an SMS continue every X minutes? I use SMS alerts for work and can't miss them. I know the Verizon one has an option but that thing is a hideous mess.
Any clean/minimal alternative SMS app that has this feature?
Update:
Tried 8SMS, Hello SMS, Hoverchat and none of them had that feature. However the Missed Call Reminder app looks like it will do what I want. Also, Hoverchat is pretty sweet, I think I am going to use it.

I like Textra as a good SMS app, and it can continue to remind you about SMS notifications every X minutes as long as X=2, and as long as you don't need to be reminded more than ten times. I have written to them asking them to make that two minute reminder period user-definable and also to see if they might extend the options on the number of reminders to include one that would keep them repeating endlessly as well. They were receptive to the ideas, so we'll see.
I may have to check out that Missed Call Reminder App. I've been using Phone Alarm, but I'm not sure it's really doing everything I'd like it to do properly.
