Hello there, I hope someone can help me with a question regarding email notifications. I am involved with a few somewhat important email threads or conversations where some of those messages are time sensitive. A sighted friend has a phone (don't think it's an iPhone) that notifies him whenever he gets emails even if he's not in the email app. Can that be done on the iPhone without always having to go into the mail app? Of course, after five minutes, my iPhone goes to the lock screen, so I don't know if an email notification can override that.
Just so you know what I've done. I went to settings and then notifications and then mail. I chose the the particular email account (because I have three different accounts on my phone) and tried getting it to notify me that way. It does work, but in order for me to get the notifications, I have to open my email app anyway. If this is the only way I can do it, then so be it, but I really thought there was a way of getting notified any time I got new email messages, similar to how I'm notified when I get a text or voicemail without having to be in those apps. If anyone can give me some good steps for this, I'd appreciate it. Thanks a lot! -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
