5. Tap Select ringtone.
6. Select Silent.
Of course, if you do want an audio notification of new emails, you can use this method
to change your ringtone to any ringtone sound you’d like.
Outlook Web Access
If you can’t add an Exchange account through the Email app, you might be able to use
an Outlook Web Access or OWA account instead. You have to actively check for email
yourself instead of getting notification that you’ve got a new message. If you use OWA
to access mail, just set up a bookmark on your Home screen for quick access.
Corporate Sync Accounts
If you have no luck adding an Exchange email to the Email app, you may need to use a
Corporate Sync account.
Corporate Sync accounts are designed to be compliant
with security standards mandated by corporate email systems. Corporate email
accounts can also be remote wiped, or erased remotely if you lose your phone.
The disadvantage to Corporate Sync accounts is that as of the time of this publication,
Verizon charges more for these accounts. That’s why it’s important to remove any
accounts you don’t need.
Universal Inbox
Your DROID organizes all your non-Gmail email accounts, your text messages, and
social networking status updates into a Universal Inbox in the Messaging app, so you
can read all your messages from one central location. The Universal Inbox is shown in
Figure 9–6. Please see Chapter 10 for more on using Instant Messaging and this
Universal Inbox.
