Email frequently freezes / Notification alert tones

[meoslebo]

I have three issues:

First:

I have three email accounts on my phone. When I check for new emails and switch between accounts, it often freezes. Sometimes it pops-up with a message saying it had to quit or I have to force quit the application in order to actually navigate to my other email accounts.

This happens almost every time I check my email.

Second:

When I delete messages, I tend to delete a few at a time by checking the box and selecting delete. It often keeps displaying "processing" and never deletes so I end up having to Force Quit the email application in order to actually delete the messages.

Third:

I have my gmail notification set to silent, however, every time that account receives email, it dings at me with my notification alert tone. I do NOT want to be notified via alerts for emails. Text messages are different.

It is becomeing very frustrating to work with this phone... never mind losing internet connection.

Welcome to the community meoslebo! I can certainly understand why these issues you are experiencing on your phone would be frustrating. I would suggest clearing your cache from you Mail application by going to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All>Email>Clear data/cache. If still having the issue, delete then re-add your email account. 

Also verify your notifications for Gmail are set to silent correctly. Here are some steps for Gmail notification.
