I installed a 3rd party ring tone (NCIS) to my IPhone 5, when selected to be the ringtone for phone calls it worked but also rings when an email comes in. I deselected the ringtone so it is not ,assigned to any sound choice but it still rings for emails. Is there a setting I missed? The only way to stop this is to remove the ringtone from the phone. I have shutdown the phone and restarted it ,but that did not change anything.

ChrisJ4203, unfortunately I tried all that you suggested earlier today before the post, that is why it is so frustrating. But the light at the end of the tunnel is here, I downloaded multiple ringtones from the app I was using and I think the pron
Blemish is fixed. It forced each event to recognize the assigned sound, thanks to all! First time post, it must show, I haven't figured the right way to answer the other posts.
Settings>Sounds>New Mail. You can also check in Settings>Notifications>Mail, and check each individual email account for different sounds.

I did all that, the imported ringtone appears in the list of sounds, with each action assigned different sounds other than the imported one not assigned to any action it still rings for email. The only way I can not have email ring other than the selected sound is to remove the imported ringtone. Very confusing.
I'm not sure who you are responding to, so I'm not sure what you have tried. Have you tried to assign a different sound to new mail? Have you tried a reset on the phone, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. Check then.
As far as I'm aware, you can't use imported ringtones for anything other than the phone ringtone. Is your iPhone hacked or jail broken?
You can use imported ringtones for phone ringtone, SMS alerts and other alerts as well.
Glad you got it going, but the issue could also be the fact that you are using some type of app for the ringtones. Are you syncing these back to iTunes? Are they showing up in the Tones folder? It may have something to do with the app and how it works. Good luck since it seems you have it working now.
