iOS 15 different mail notifications for different accounts

Hi,

Going back to at least iOS 7, I could have a different set of notifications for my personal email account, and my work email account. Am I missing something or is there no way to do this in iOS 15. Yes, you can have different sounds, but now there is just one set of Alerts that covers banners and lock screen. In other words, if I want my personal emails to appear on the lock screen but not work emails, I don't see a way of doing it. This is insane to me, since they have added all these features for limiting/controlling notifications, yet if I don't want my phone to light up constantly with work email while I'm sitting in front of my computer working, there's nothing I can do.

Thanks,

Aaron

iPhone 8, iOS 15

Hi,

What is even more frustrating: I used to have different kinds of alerts for my personal and work mail accounts (same as Aaron), and it worked perfectly well for me, even on iOS 15, until these Christmas holidays when I on purpose turned off the notifications for my work mail account.


So, as soon as I got back to work I suddenly realized the old notification style cannot be reverted. I checked every single setting. Indeed, it was so useful to receive job-related sound notifications with no alerts popping up on the lockscreen.

This was still working for me until I got a new watch and synced it and all the sudden my mail notifications were completely reset and I got thrown into this nightmare world. I used to be able to use the badges to make sure I didn’t miss any urgent issues at work and now I have 14,034 unopened emails. I turned them off because it’s useless to me now. I guess Apple wants me to switch to the Outlook app?
