How do you turn off the new email notification beep?

The 2.0 software now has the iPod Touch BEEP everytime a new email arrives. Without entirely shutting off the sound, how do you turn OFF this new feature? I can't find it under the mail settings.
Thanks!

I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing this. My iPod was beeping all night and I wasn't sure why. After running some tests, I figured out it was a new mail notification.

I've looked all around the settings and I can't find a way to turn it off.

Settings > General > Sound Effects > off. Unfortunately, that also turns off all other system sounds.

You cannot selectively control the notifications on the iPod Touch (although you can on the iPhone).

You can submit feedback to Apple requesting this feature:
