Android configuration

[Dave Germiquet]

Hi Guys,

You can do this type of configuration with an application called Tasker.

Tasker in combination with K9 Mail can change the sound level and play an
notifcation sound when a certain email is retrieved.

However...there may be a better solution that you can implement with
exchange (i don't know).

K9 Mail only works well with imap as well.
