May 17, 2013 2:21 PM in response to chris techby IdrisSeabright,★HelpfulI have email messages alert sounds turned off except for VIP addresses (of which I have only one). That means I only get alerted for that one address.
To add a Contacts entry to VIP senders in iPhone Mail:
- Open your list of mailboxes in iPhone Mail.
- Tap the > button next to VIP.
- Select Add VIP… at the list's end.
- Tap the desired entry from your contacts.
Then, in Notifications>Mail, turn off the souds for your email account but enable them for VIP.
Note that all VIP emails will have the same tone. It's more like the Priority feature on a BB than custom text tones.
Best of luck.

May 17, 2013 2:23 PM in response to chris techby IdrisSeabright,If that doesn't work for you and you have Gmail, take a look at ifttt.com. It will allow you to set up an SMS alert for specific email addresses (and can do about a million other things as well). However, it only checks every 15 minutes.
