Why does my phone ring when i receive an email

I would guess that a ring is the sound you have selected when you receive mail? Go to Settings>Sounds & Haptics, and see what sound you have selected for Mail. Also, if you have more than one mail account, you have the option to select a different sound for each mail account. Go to Settings>Notifications>Mail, and then select the account in question, then you can change the sound if desired.

A backup with iCloud would have helped, but it is not a problem to re-enter wi-fi passwords. An iCloud backup saves that information, but also saves other things, including problems, depending on where they were coming from. If you are still experiencing this ringing, and it has nothing to do with a phone call, but mail, then I would restore the phone to factory, and add content back individually, not using your backup. This would include adding your mail accounts back individually as well.

It should not affect the Bluetooth, unless the vehicle does not support the latest Bluetooth stack. However, sine you are pairing and just experiencing a volume issue, I'd say check with the vehicle dealer and see if they have a software update. It could be that.

You're welcome. It wasn't that I believed Bluetooth was not supported, it is whether or not the vehicle supports the latest Bluetooth stack, which the phone has. Vehicle manufacturers get copies of the iOS and have to test and report if their devices still work or if they need updates so they can provide this information to their customers. Hope they take care of you.

I know that MB is catching up, so it should not be a problem. I know there were issues with their system and using the internet, but that is as much as I know about it. Had something to do with the type of connection it used.

No, I have no knowledge on the iMac, I'm not a Mac user. My experience with Apple is my family of iPhones for 5 people, and 3 iPads. Good luck. You may want to wander over to the iMac forum and post there. Many qualified users there to help you out. Have a great weekend, what is left of it.

Bluetooth in my vehicle is supported however i thought possibly the change to iOS 11 may have caused a decrease in the automobile phone volume.

Today was the first time that I took a call in my wife's 2017 Hyundai, and as usual I picked up the call with the car. I noticed that the volume appeared to be rather low, and I immediately thought of our conversation. I turned the volume up on the car's system, and that did not seem to really make a difference. I picked up the phone to change over to the phone to hear the conversation better, and I decided to adjust the volume with the buttons on the side of the phone as a last minute attempt to fix things. The screen showed the volume box, and it said Bluetooth, but it also showed that it was quite low. I was sitting at a traffic light, so I watched the car screen and pressed the buttons on the phone to turn up the volume, and was pleasantly surprised that it raised the volume of the call in the car, without changing the volume setting I had in the car for the call. It was almost like when you have music playing on a radio and adjust the line in volume. More volume in, allowed for more adjustment of the volume with the car. You might want to try this. Get into a call, and find someone willing to test this with you. Have them talk to you, and then adjust the volume on the phone. See what that does, and if it makes a difference with hearing the call, and if it makes any adjustment to the settings in your car. Check where the volume setting was in the car (for me that it easy as it is reported in numbers), then after increasing the volume on the phone, if it raises the volume of the call, then try turning up the volume in the car and see if the settings changed. Seems I'm always learning something with these devices!

If so do you turn off email on your wrist and if so how do you do it.

You're welcome about the Bluetooth issue. Seems to be something new, as I've never had it react that way in the past.

As far as your question about mail, you can set your watch to sync whatever mail you wish. I have two accounts that I use with the native mail app on the phone. My work Exchange account, and my personal account. My Exchange account is the one I use the most, so I have it set on my watch. I have an original watch. To determine what mail accounts you want to use on the watch, go to your Watch app on the iPhone, then go to Mail. Now, if you only have one account, it won't matter, but if you have more than one account on the phone this part is important. Instead of Mirror my iPhone, you select Custom. Then you set alerts, Show on or off, then turn on the alert for whichever account you wish to use. After that, you set mail settings, include the account you want to use on the phone, and any other setting you wish. If you want to turn them all off, then just turn alerts off for all your accounts, and under mail settings, do not select an account.

Hope that helps.
