By Staff, Wednesday, Oct 13, 2010 | MailTones, by Electric Pocket, has received a nice little update. In case you are unfamiliar with the app it enables iPhones users the ability to change your email tone and set different tones for emails. The newest updated is bundled with 60 more tones raning from discrete bells to more audible horns and buzzers as well as an enhanced overall look and feel with full retina support. MailTones has been a nice little application for people who want the option to filter their incoming emails. It allows you to set filters to change the priority of an email based on who it was sent from. So for example you can set your boss or your spouse to a higher priority so as soon as the email hits you will get a notification with their special alert you chose and you can respond right away.

So you’ve been using your iPhone for a couple months or years now. You might be addicted to your iPhone. Even if you’re not addicted, chances are that you have a stock of applications on which you rely heavily. Without a doubt, the single most useful application on my iPhone, and the one I use constantly throughout the day, is email. I live by email, and I read and compose email messages far more often than I make actual phone calls with my phone. To preserve my sanity, I’ve disabled the notification sound for new emails: if I hadn’t, my phone would be making noise pretty constantly throughout the day. But that’s not an ideal situation, because there are times when I do want to be notified of an important new email. Enter MailTones, an application that allows you to set custom alert tones, and makes good use of Apple’s push Read More

Rating: 8 out of 10Pros: Lots of sounds to choose fromCons: You have to forward your incoming mail to an anonymous email account which makes me feel a little uncomfortableOverall: This is a really cool app that I enjoy using. I had to have my iPhone Jailbroken and hacked in order to change out the sounds for email alerts but MailTones does this seamlessly. I think most people will be scared away by the fact that you have to forward your emails to another email address though. You can purchase this app from the iTunes App Store for $2.99. Read More

Mailtones is the answer to one of the most requested features as far as iPhone settings go. With the introduction of push notifications, apps now have the ability to send alerts and sounds. Developers saw an opportunity and created Mailtones, an app that gives you customization over the new mail notification sound on your iPhone or iPod Touch. The app works like a charm and is very simple to set up. The user just forwards their email to a custom address (they could just forward specific email too) that mailtones provides. Once this is setup, the user can then get to customizing. Any contacts that have email addresses can be chosen in the app to have a sound individual to them. The app can also monitor the subject of the email and you can customize the sound based off of that. The sounds that are available in the app are pretty Read More

Whenever you hear "Wah-wah-wah," you know you've got mail from Dave. You've already got individual ringtones set up for your boss, your spouse, and other important people. MailTones brings that same concept to e-mail, playing custom sounds when you receive messages from those certain special senders. Using the $2.99 app [iTunes link] requires two things: That your iPhone is configured for push e-mail (fetched automatically, not manually) and that your e-mail server has the option of forwarding copies of new messages to another address. Gmail, for example, makes this a snap, as does MobileMe. As for other services and servers, well, you'll have to find out if forwarding is an option. If not, this isn't the app for you. With that single step completed, however, all that remains is to configure MailTones' alerts, which offer three options. Friend Matching works like call-based ringtones: You get an alert when you receive mail Read More
