Email notification keeps reverting to DROID sound - ever since 2.2 upgrade!!!!

Ever since the upgrade to my X, I can set the email notification for my email to any other sound and it will work great for that DAY - after which, it reverts back to that STOOPID DROID sound. It doesn't matter what I do, it always reverts back.

Man this is annoying.....is it a KNOWN issue with the OS??

The Froyo update added a new option that wasnt under 2.1 for each account... Each account allows you to give a customs alert for each account... Goto Messaging > Account Name > Left Menu Button > Email Settings > Notifications > Select Ringtones, this will be the primary alert for that account and all others will use the default notification...

Also remember that when you use the device as Mass Storage and using custom ringer that the ringers are stored on the SD Card so the device can not use that alert so the device usually reverts to the default alert so you wont miss a notification for new message, usually you have to restart to restore the custom alert settings.

Nope - No Go -

I go into each one of my email accounts and change the notification as you described.....that just changes ALL account notifications to the last one picked...there does not seem to be a way to have a different alert for each account...

I don't know why yours is giving you a hard time, but just wanted to point something out, I have gmail, aol and my work email on my droid x, both aol and work email have the same ringtone, I have tried to make them different but no luck, if I change it to one, it changes for the other one too. Gmail and text message notifications i was able to give them their own different ringtone.

Sorry my mistake, you can have a diffrent alerts for gMail, VoiceMail, Text but the one for email only changes the alert for all the email accounts but gMail and Text.... If you want to do a diffrent one for each email account I think K9 email app has this function.
