Are you annoyed by the fact that you can't receive a "new email" without any sound from your iPhone? There is no built in feature for a silent “new email” alert. Either you have sound plus vibration or nothing at all provided by Apple.
Adding a silent ring tone and assigning it to the “new email” alert will just do the trick. Here is the how you do:
- Download the file: silence ringtone for iPhone
- Unzip it
- Drag it to you iTunes library
- You’ll find the file now under ”Tones”
- Connect your iPhone and drag the silent file to your iPhone. The iPhone will recognize the file and it will be available for you
- On you iPhone, Go to Settings, Sounds and further down the list, you’ll find “new email”
- Choose the "silent" sound
Then if you like to add a “flash” alert, here is how you do;
- On you iPhone, Go to Settings and General
- Further down the list, you’ll find “Accessibility”
- Turn on “LED Flash for Alerts”
