Configuring Specific notification separate from defaults in G mail

[Android Central Question]

I am having trouble configuring G mail /Android 8 on my new phone { Huawei } I was able to configure on previous version however now having difficulty with the notifications finding a setting to configure a separate sound file for emails as opposed to the defaults
Any thoughts appreciated

I have a different notification sound set for each of my email accounts in the Gmail app. You do it through the app itself, which should have the same settings across devices.

but oreo is different

But it isn't. I have a Pixel 2 XL running Oreo and I have 3 different sounds for 4 email accounts, and they do work.

@wheel8ie that's the "manage labels" section. From that screen go back one step and tap Manage Notifications. THAT is where you set your notification sound for that account. You do that for each account.

Apologies for the delays ,learning to navigate this website , am sorry I posted the incorrect screenshot, here is the correct one. I still cannot see what we are searching for but I may be wrong?

Hmm, yours is different from mine. What you can't see (because I blocked out my email) is that this is specific to an email address, and each email address is different.

There is, you just have to scroll far enough down... Here's a link to the entire Huawei section - https://forums.androidcentral.com/huawei-android-phones/

Maybe a around, Maybe if I create another Gmail account then maybe if I add it to the Gmail app Maybe it might show up and email address as shown on your screen shot. Do you think thats worth a try?

When I go in a different way - through settings > Apps & Notifications > Gmail - I get a list of accounts to configure notifications for. Yours should show your one account.
