How to turn off email notifications on iPhone, Android, Windows Phone 7, and Blackberry

As the holidays approach, give yourself a gift: spend some time with loved ones, and away from email.  AwayFind will notify you if something matters right now, so turn off your email checking and notifications.  Here’s how…
Note: these instructions have been taken from our Guide to Not Checking Email, which is available for download on the Getting Started screen for all AwayFind users.

iPhone

• Select the Settings application
• Select Sounds
• Change New Email to Off or None

Note: you’ll also want to turn off the Badge icon for iPhone, which lets you know about unread messages.  We recommend turning off this huge distraction:

• Select the Settings application
• Select Notifications
• Scroll down to and click on Mail
• Change Badge App Icon to Off
