decani - the problem is that it is my phone as well, so when I go to ring home or send a txt after work hours I automatically get to see that there is new work mail for me.
As I said, I don't mind getting the mail, I just don't want to know about it unless I specifically go to look in the mail folder.
Meanwhile I have temporarily fixed the problem - I have downgraded back to my Nokia, so all is well again. However, at some stage I need to start using the thing for work, so I hope I can get rid of the mail notification.
Runner - at the moment it seems to be silent when mails arrive, so that bit is OK thanks. I would love to turn it off, but then non-work people couldn't contact me. I have a feeling I may resurrect my old non-work personal number in the long run.
