Hey I see the former trolling but I have the same problem I think. My Galaxy S gets the emails but I get no notification sound or notification in the taskbar for my POP3 Hotmail and work IMAP. Neither need a proxy and I have all the settings correct as the emails download correctly if I do it manually.

All the settings are checked in the account options for the notifications and it doesn't work if I am connected to Wifi or on normal data. Synchronisation of accounts is also on and I receive my gmail messages fine.

Thanks for any help!

I have a Hero running Android 2.1. Shortly before upgrading, my Hotmail notifications stopped, even though still set to notify. I still got all my e-mails. Since upgrading, though, I seem to not get all my e-mails. It might be that I'm not getting the ones that I see first in Outlook through Outlook Connector. I haven't verified that, though. I still get zero notification. Phone started giving me trouble pairing with my car stereo via Bluetooth. What gives?

Anyone have any luck obtaining custom gmail notifications or custom ringtones used as notifications for gmail? Fixed Google contacts with custom ringtones using Ringo Lite from the Market other wise there was no option in contacts for ringtones if the contact synced with google. First time posting....second day on Android and love it after being a heavy BB user!:)

OK.... If you have a galaxy s 9000 and you want a notification for emails:

Got to:

- SETTINGS
- Accounts and sync
- Check the box Auto-sync

You will see under Manage accounts that your gmail will now show your email address and under it will read Sync in ON

Now, when you get a gmail email, a notification will pop up on your phone.

Hope this helps!!

Cheers :)

Marcel.

Yeah, I have the "MAIL MOTHER******" tone from the movie Eurotrip as my gmail notification. I just moved the tone into the notifications folder under 'media' and then it became available to select in the gmail settings'
