Can You Set Notifications for Emails from Specific Contacts?

2014-01-20 Thread Alan Lemly
I normally use the default settings for my iPhone 5 regarding notifications,
etc. I like the way I get notified when receiving a text message but not
email messages since I get not many texts but a large volume of email.

 

Is it possible to set a notification so you are alerted when getting an
email from a specific contact? I would like to be able to get a similar
alert as I do for text messages when receiving emails from specific parties.
I've poked around a bit in the settings but couldn't figure out how to do
this if it's possible.

 

Thanks in advance for any assistance with this question.

There might be apps that can accomplish this: but using the stock iPhone 
features, the closest thing I know of is the VIP mailbox, which has custom 
notifications that can be set independently like other mailboxes, but is 
populated based on who sent the email rather than to which account it was 
addressed.

Yes, placing a person's email address in the VIP mailbox sets it up such that 
when receiving an email from that person, the email appears in one's 
notifications. It works on my iPhone running v7.04.
