OVERVIEW
Customise your email alerts to only get notifications of the messages that matter - MailTones can show you a pop-up "push alert" on your iPhone or iPad, showing the sender and subject of your new email message. Youll know instantly whether you need to launch Mail and read the message, or if it can wait.
One practical way to use MailTones is to set your default email tone to silent, or ignore, and just set audible alerts for people and message subjects you need to know about - then when your iPhone beeps or buzzes, youll know its an email message that matters.
Pick your phone out in the crowd with a new email tone. We bundle over 60 alert tones with MailTones, from subtle professional tones to pager alerts, load horns and whistles - perfect for hearing email in a noisy environment, or alerting you to very important messages.

HOW IT WORKS
MailTones works by using a copy of your email messages to send a Push Message to your iPhone or iPad. To generate this push message, we scan a copy of your email messages on our server. We realise this approach will not be suitable for everyone.
When you run MailTones, well give you a special email address @mailtones.net - forward A COPY of your email to that address and any mail you receive will make your iPhone beep with your chosen tone. You can choose to copy all your email to mailtones.net, or use filters to just forward some messages.
When email arrives at our server, we send a Push message to your iPhone or iPad - causing it to beep, whistle, ring or buzz! Please make sure you can forward a copy of your email to a second address - Gmail users can do this, but we understand Yahoo Mail does not provide this facility.
MailTones uses the Amazon EC2 platform, to allow for extreme reliability and stability, however we cannot guarantee delivery of message notifications.
GMail forwarding now requires a code - but we detect and show this in MailTones automatically, so you can enter it in Gmail settings.

"MailTones works well, takes the push notification system to the next level and is worth the price tag."
