I'd like to see the option for the user to set an optional per-Account Notification Tone that would override the Systemwide default Notification Tone.

This can be essential when a user has multiple email accounts being monitored by their Email app, as a general notification tone only conveys to the user that they've received a message, not which account receieved one.

In my past use of a webOS device, I had two distinct tones I used for my Personal account and my Academic account. During the day if I got a personal email, I'd ignore it by sound alone. If I got an Academic email, I'd check it immediately as it was often time sensitive material.

Anecdotally, a friend of mine (database administrator for a major hospital) uses this feature heavily on his Android phone. He has a special "alerts" email address that automated system health reports are sent to when "danger" conditions are met.

He has a very loud, unmistakable tone (with repeat notifications) for this account so that no matter what, he knows what is coming in and that he has to take immediate action to read the alert.

I think this feature would be very, very useful.
