Customize Mail Account Alerts--Why Are We Still Waiting for This?

[Arsynic]

I was dismayed after I took the plunge and installed build 10166 on my phone to see that custom e-mail alerts still isn't a feature in the Outlook Mail app. The same is true on the PC. Is this a replacement for the mail functionality in Phone 8.1? If so, it needs to allow us to select the alert tone for each account. I have four mail accounts on my phone including work. Work is more important so I need a distinct alert tone for that account so I can give it immediate attention.

The iPhone app has this feature already, so I can't see them NOT adding it for parity. Probably just isn't turned on yet or still being worked on as the mail app is refined.

Well app is still in its early stage of development, lot of new features and improvements are expected to come with future release, after all, there are no shortcuts to any place worth going, we all need to be a little bit more patient, this is still TP

Where is the normal mail app that was in WP 8.1?

Abandoned and replaced with Outlook...
