Notification Settings

Notification Settings allow you to select which item types trigger a notification alert. The Sync Summary option must be enabled in order for an alert, in the form of a pop-up dialog box, to appear on the device. In addition, you can use the BlackBerry Profiles application to configure the notification behavior (a tone, vibration, flash, etc.) that corresponds to each item type. All notifications are enabled by default.

Note: Notifications are not sent for item synchronization events involving the Sent or Trash email folders.
