Re: [iPhone] Silencing notifications but allowing calls through said by benjamin:Right now, I turn off sounds (using the silent mode switch) at night, in order to avoid having the mail notification wake me every time a new email arrives. I just go into the Preferences and turn off the New Mail sound; I leave the Preferences app open and just click it again in the morning.  |

Can't you turn off vibrate and the mail notification?

I just go into the Preferences and turn off the New Mail sound; I leave the Preferences app open and just click it again in the morning. Too funny--I was just about to post, because that's exactly what I tried last night! It actually worked well. I thought that if I turned off the phone, it would revert to the main page but, in my test yesterday noticed that it stayed on the settings page. So, not as terrible as I had envisioned.
The only thing that bothers me is that it takes about 5 swipes to turn off the sounds (getting to page with Settings, scrolling down to sounds, etc., etc.) but this is definitely not a bad solution. Thanks. |

That's good if you have one account but I have several, so that would be more work (toggling each one off and on again)--plus one is a push account, so couldn't just turn it off with one swipe, like the others. The beauty of your option, though, is that it also saves battery power by not fetching. |

The "Push" account follows the push preference, turn it off and it defaults to the "Fetch" preferences. Any account that is not a "Push" account automatically defaults to the "Fetch" settings. I have 5 accounts on my iphone, 2 are push, 3 are fetch.
I turn push off and fetch to manual and none of them get mail. I don't have to do each account manually.
