Are you trying to add a specific tone to individual email accounts, or to individuals? You can assign different tones to each individual email account, just not to specific individuals. The only exception to the individuals is if you were to make the individual a VIP and set a specific tone to the VIP mailbox. So, what razmee209 stated regarding individuals in correct, but there is a method for different mail accounts. If you could expand on what it is you are trying to do, it may be possible.

Sorry you can only set a universal sound for email account, you can't set specific tone like you can for text or ringtone.
You can let Apple know here http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Thank you. The question pertained to individual e/mail accounts, not text. Even if I go to mail, click on the two I have, and change tone to each, my incoming tone is still what was set in my default mail client . I have G/mail and Yahoo apps. I wanted each to have their own separate tones.
Thanks, that's what I've found. But, if I go to settings, Notifications- Mail- then highlight allow notifications, then Sounds- then click on my Yahoo or Gmail account, it then shows next to sounds whatever I want to select. I have chosen a different tone for each but, when receiving any mail (either Gmail or Yahoo ) it uses my Yahoo account tone I had selected for both. In other words, both have the same tone still.... I understand there are apps to do what I'm attempting to do, but I don't want to go that route..... I'm using an older iPhone 4s with ios 9.1. Thanks for your response though...... Gary
I'm not sure why both accounts are using the same sound, as that is not what it is supposed to do if you have selected different sounds for each in Notifications. You were the one that mentioned apps, that is why I said I did not understand how the apps work. I wasn't asking you to go that route. You could work a little more for troubleshooting why the two accounts are doing that, since it appears that you are setting these sounds correctly.
Thank you so much.... I now realize that only ringtones and messages are supported.
You're welcome.
You can change the tones for the individual accounts in Notifications for the native mail client, but I'm not aware of changes to using other mail apps such as G/Mail or Yahoo.
