What you may won't to do is turn on Push notifications. This may effect battery life. Go into settings, Mail, Contacts, and Calendar, In the top half of the screen is the mail settings area. Flick through until you find Fetch data. Double tap on that. Then, the first item on the next screen is Push Notification. Double tap so it is on. Then, if you have more than one email account you can set the fetch or push schedule for each account. Or go down to the fetch schedule and set it to 15 minutes, 30, or 1 hour rather than the default of Manual. Then, whether the mail app you will hear the notification sound for mail. HTH, Richard
