General BlackBerry® Functions and Features

[conyeador]

I was wondering about the following things, any help on it would be greatly appreciated....

1) Is there any way to keep all the sent emails from showing up in my inbox on my blackbery? It looks like all traffic in and out shows up in the same "box"

2) Is it possible to keep the email traffic and the text messages separate or does everything have to go through my text mailbox?

3) Can I tell the phone to ring or vibrate differently for a phone call, text and email- so it all doesn't "ring" the same when a call, text , or email comes in?

Again, Thanks in advance

1) Is there any way to keep all the sent emails from showing up in my inbox on my blackbery? It looks like all traffic in and out shows up in the same "box" You can hide your SENT messages if you like, at Messages > Options > General Options > Hide Sent Messages.

2) Is it possible to keep the email traffic and the text messages separate or does everything have to go through my text mailbox?  Again, to to Messages > Options > General Options > Email and SMS Inboxes = Separate.

3) Can I tell the phone to ring or vibrate differently for a phone call, text and email- so it all doesn't "ring" the same when a call, text , or email comes in? Yes, edit your Profiles. 

1. Select the Profiles icon

2. A box will appear where you can quick select between Loud, Vibrate, Quiet, Normal, Phone Only, and Off. If you wish to quick change the device profiles then select the one you want and exit out.

3. If you want to edit the tones assigned to the device applications then select the last option, Advanced
(some older models and OS 4.1 and below will not have the "Advanced" step--if Advanced is not present go directly to Step 4 below).

4. Select the profile you wish to edit. (Loud, Vibrate, Quiet, Normal (default), Phone Only, Off)
Note: on the 8100, 8800, and 8300 models: Do not click the trackball. Instead, click the menu key to the left of the trackball).
Note: The profile that is in use will say: (Active)

5. You will now see a list of all applications that can have a tone assigned (Browser, Calendar, Level 1 Messages, Messages (email@domain.com), Messenger, MMS, Phone, SMS, Task ect..)

6. Select the application you wish to edit the tone / notification for

7. You can now edit Out of Holster and In Holster tones/ notifications.
a) Select between: None, Tone, Vibrate, Vibrate+Tone
b) Select the Tune you wish to use
c) Select Volume (options are Mute, Low, Medium, High, Escalating)
d) Select Number of Beeps (options are 1, 2, 3)
e) Select Repeat Notification (options are None, LED Flashing)
f) If set to Vibrate or Vibrate+Tone then select Number of Vibrations (options are 1, 2, 3)

8. Repeat a-e for each of the desired applications listed in 5 above

Again, Thanks in advance
