Hey guys if you're experiencing this problem like me you're probably frustrated too. Basically, no matter what settings you adjust on the native email app you cannot stop the phone from vibrating with every single email. I just did some research and found this bug report and if you follow the instructions from post 66 you can actually work around this horrible Android experience.
