Notifications are Evil

Some Androids have a separate volume control for notifications. Settings -> Audio(Sound) -> Volume. (I think it may be in all but not exposed by the UI, so you may want to try widgetsoid or some other widget to expose the volume controls).

Failing that I think you can set the notification ringtone to "Silent".

Thanks, I think this did the trick. The main problem is the email program that's default on my Galaxy Note doesn't have a settings menu in the app, let alone one where I can turn off the notifications.

You might want to check out K9 mail. It's a fork of the vanilla Android mail app. It's been my experience that OEM modifications to the default apps break functionality like that more often than not.

Switched to K9 mail.. thanks. Any other must have apps that should be core Android?
