how can I set a sound for receipt of mail from a particular account

[Glyn Foster]

I want to have mail from a particular address identified by its own ringtone; I know how to change this globally, but not for one address on my Moto G50

What mail app? On my Pixel the GMail app allows you to set a notification sound for each email address.

The Moto G50 uses the plain vanilla gmail ap; if there is a way to give a particular email address its own identifying sound, I've been unable to find it, hence this question

I'm not aware in the stock Gmail app to do that individually.

I use the stock Gmail app and have it set up this way, on both my Pixel 4a 5G and my Samsung tablet.
@Glyn Foster Open Gmail.
Tap the overflow menu (3 lines in the left of the search bar at the top), scroll to the bottom and select settings.
Tap the email address you wish to change the sound for.
In the notifications section, tap the notification sounds option, tap the current sound and then select a new sound.
Repeat for each email address.

I don't see that option

@mustang7757 is that in the settings > apps & Notifications? What happens if you tap that notification sound item in there, can't that be used to change it for just that email? Then if you go to another email account it should still have that original sound selected and you could select a different sound for that one.

It's going to be difficult to show the steps in screenshots without revealing email addresses or emails in my inbox...

I've been through all these settings here , where I circled is how I got previous screenshot .

Yes, so if you tap the actual notification sound in the first screenshot you can select a sound that will apply for THAT email address. Follow the same steps for your other email accounts and you can set a different sound for each...

You can see I have 2 different sounds here...

Yeah it's global so any notification email I have same sound but for that account I can't set a different tone for certain emails that come in , if I have multiple accounts for Gmail you can set that differently as I have 3 different Gmail in the Gmail app.

lol I misread the OP! I thought they had multiple email accounts and wanted a different sound for each one, not that they wanted a specific sound from a particular sender!
