E-Mail Notification Annoyance

[Fat Fingers]

Is there a way I can alter my e-mail notifications so that it only occurs once for each e-mail? If so, how? Currently whenever I receive an e-mail, the sound (and presumably the vibrate) notifications occur every X minutes until I read the email (or press the button on top of the Droid).

I want it to vibrate and make the sound notification for every e-mail, but I only want it to do it once.

I have searched on-line for about an hour but cannot find a solution.

Thanks.

I have never seen this happen at all.
What apps do you installed?

Just using the stock e-mail app for this pop3 account. I used Touchdown for my Business e-mail, but the problem is strictly with my personal e-mail using the stock e-mail client

I'm thinking another app is doing this though.
Can you type out a list of your installed apps? Could help us determine if it's a software error or an app causing this.

Ok thanks.
Try uninstalling the task manager and see how that goes. Somewhere around here there's a thread on task managers. They seem to screw up a lot of things. Give that a try for about a day and see if there are any differences.

Well, I would have to say look into the settings of the email application. I don't have any pop3 accounts installed on mine (Because all I use is Gmail) I would guess that it's in the notification settings of the Email application.

Cannot find any options that control how many alerts are sent. I see the option to turn off audible notification, as well as turning off vibrate and in the notification bar, but nothing on recurring notifications until e-mail is read or buttom on top of phone is pushed.

I have the same problem as well but with my email and text alerts. I never had this happen until I received a replacement Droid. Its normally about every 5 min or so (just a guess).

I wish I had this problem. I want reminder alerts for email but cannot find out how to make it happen.

I've never really noticed but it seems that I have received an email and got the notification and didn't check it.....then a few minutes later I got another notification. thinking I had 2 emails. When I looked I only had 1 email. Not really a big deal for me.....at least the phone is reminding me to check my emails.

What I've noticed is that it only does it so many times and it seems its only with my Gmail not my other email. Could be totally wrong on this. I haven't tested it yet.
