on the motorola droid I have the sound and vibration both off for receiving emails into my multiple accounts. I figured, like with my previous blackberry, it would turn the green led light on the upper right corner a red color when a new email arrived, but it does not. is there any way to have it flash it a different color when a new mail arrives?

On mine the light is off when nothing is happening. It flashes green when I have a message or email when it is in sleep mode. It flashes red when the battery gets below 15%.

I have notifications set up in GMail, haven't set up a regular email account yet - but nothing so far, b/c there is nothing about LED settings in the GMail app....

Edit: Added the following

I spoke too soon - after the next sync I have green flashing LED, so it is working for GMail. Time to add a regular email account, methinks....
