Turn off notifications for email on apple watch?

[mws_1984]

How do I turn off the audible notification for email on my apple watch? I don't mind getting the alert on the watch face I just don't want to get the tone. I thought I had fixed it by customizing it to only "send to notification center" but that did not work.

Have you had a look at the account settings in the Watch.app?

There are separate “Sound” and “Haptic” options.

Is it set to mirror your iPhone ? I’m assuming you have your phone set to not ding.

Open the watch app on your phone, scroll down to mail, and select mirror your phone.

Yes it is set to mirror. That's what was weird. I'll have to see what it does now. I have it set not to ding on my phone. But I just did a test email and just a visual notification on phone but the watch dings and shows the email to. So thats weird

I sent myself a test email using my computer. No audible notification on my phone like I have it set but my watch dinged when I have notifications off. I even tried to restart my watch then test it again. Still get the notification.

No idea, i have notifications for mail set to off on my Apple Watch and iPhone, it works for me.

Try to switch off app background refresh on the Apple Watch for mail. If it can’t refresh in the background it shouldn’t notify you of new mail.

One other thing do you have any other mail clients on your phone, perhaps the notification is from a different app. Good luck.

Are Mail notifications disabled on your phone? It could be redirecting the phone's notification to that watch.

Try this:

With watch app / notifications / mail set to custom, tap Allow Notifications, and then, in the list of mail accounts below, turn any that you have to "off". See if that works. (The way you did it *should* work.)

Ended up having to go into mail settings on phone and turn yahoo mail to the default. So the "Mail" that's on the phone isn't doing anything. But somehow messing with it I got the alert tones off finally.

Good. The method I mentioned above has worked for me. (I have VIPs set as the only mail that alerts me on the watch.)
