MailTones – Email Alerts and Sounds
From
The iPhone Mom:
MailTones is an app for those wishing to cut through their email clutter. The app works by allowing you to assign custom sounds to various emails. You can assign for different contacts, subjects and senders. Assign the sound and when an email comes in matching that parameter you’ll receive a push notification on your phone, alerting you
with the sound you chose. There are over 60 tones to choose from as well as a “Do Not Disturb” feature that can be automatically set up for evenings.
I think using an app like this could be a real time saver as it allows you to quickly identify your important emails.

Want Custom Sounds for your Email -- Try MailTones
From
iPhoneGlance:
MailTones is an amazing app that gives iPhone and iPad users an alternative to the dull email message tone you hear when you receive a new email. Choose from over 60 different sounds and set them to contacts, subjects and email domains. The great thing about MailTones is that users are able to differentiate between important emails and not so important emails because it lets you set your own tone so you know which one is. Set up a professional subtle tone or one that allows you to hear your new email in noisy place, like whistle, buzzer or horns.

Review: MailTones for iDevices
From
JAMM:
Now, that the facts are on the table, what’s the verdict? I find MailTones guilty as described – guilty of sorting my mail so I know who’s emailing, guilty for prioritizing my stuff, and finally guilty for making my life easier. This product works for me! Good stuff. It helps me differentiate my email notifications from somebody else using an iDevice considering there are so many iPhone users these days.

App review: MailTones
From
MobileCrunch:
So you’ve been using your iPhone for a couple months or years now. You might be addicted to your iPhone. Even if you’re not addicted, chances are that you have a stock of applications on which you rely heavily. Without a doubt, the single most useful application on my iPhone, and the one I use constantly throughout the day, is email. I live by email, and I read and compose email messages far more often than I make actual phone calls with my phone. To preserve my sanity, I’ve disabled the notification sound for new emails: if I hadn’t, my phone would be making noise pretty constantly throughout the day. But that’s not an ideal situation, because there are times when I do want to be notified of an important new email. Enter MailTones, an application that allows you to set custom alert tones, and makes good use of Apple’s push notifications.

MailTones for iPhone – get custom email notifications
From
Blogiversity:
MailTones also allows you to assign a tone to a specific contact. You can also assign a tone to a specific subject line or domain. Lets say you only get urgent and important emails from a specific address or contact. You could assign a loud and long mail notification to that contact that way when the important message comes to your inbox you won't miss it.

Blinding Lights and Deafening Sound – MailTones on your BlackBerry
From
CrackBerry:
Beep beep! Ding dong, ding dong! Bzzzzzz Bzzzzzz! It’s amazing how we respond to these sounds if they came from our BlackBerrys. Not unlike Pavlov’s dogs, we do our own salivating; in this case, it’s not for food, but for messages, calls and such. Our ears are trained to notice the familiar notification tones we have set up...

MailTones - different sound alerts for different e-mail senders
From
iPhoneLife:
It lets you assign different sounds to different e-mail senders and uses the iPhone's push notification to alert you when you receive important e-mails. This is apparently the only app that offers this function. And in their just-released update they've added a feature popular with IT managers: messages to their pagers can be forwarded to their iPhones and use a unique sound to alert them that they have a support call that needs attention. And if they're sleeping when that alert comes through? The new version has an extra-loud-and-long alarm tone just for that purpose. MailTones is also now compatible with the second-generation iPod touch.

Mailtones Redux – Now For Blackberry Too!
From
GearDiary:
I reviewed Mailtones for the iPhone a few weeks back and really like it. The app allows you to assign different sounds to various contacts so that you know who has emailed without even looking at your phone. Now every time Judie emails my phone cheers. Every time Larry emails a fire alarm goes off. And every time my assistant emails there is the sound of impending doom. I love it!
Now Mailtones has rolled out a version for the Blackberry. What do I think??
I LIKE!!

MailTones lets you set custom tones for e-mail, based on rules set by you, like sender address, sender domain, subject matching, and more. After getting this app setup, I don't panic near as much when I get a buzz on my phone, because now I can see what mail I have, and I can hear what's going on!

Festive Tones-Holiday Email Sounds
From
Cool iPhone Apps:
Holiday music surrounds me as I walk into any store, or turn on the radio or TV at home. Frankly, I love it! Maybe you even changed your Ring Tone to a holiday sound to get in the spirit. Well, Festive Tones-Holiday Email Sounds now has an app that lets you attach holiday sounds or song snippets to your incoming e-mail. This means you can tell if Aunt Esther, Cousin Bob or your lover is sending you e-mail, a Christmas card or even a risqué picture! What I like about Festive Tones is that I don't have to grab the phone every minute to check who has written me. I just simply listen for the chosen specialized tone.

MailTones for BlackBerry Review
From
PDA 24/7:
Email is at the heart of many people’s BlackBerry use, but it can be tiresome when you constantly pick up your device to find spam or emails that you don’t need to read yet. There is no way around this issue, or at least there wasn’t until now.
MailTones from Electric Pocket is a simple app which gets around the problem by allowing you to specify sounds dependant on who is emailing you.
