Outlook Android App E-Mail Notification Sounds

Hi EZ-D,

We replicate the issue you are having with Outlook here on our end. We tried to select New mail sound and Send mail sound in Outlook for Android app and we did not encounter any issues. 

To provide an accurate solution, we need to know which version of Outlook is installed on your phone. 

For initial troubleshooting, we suggest that you uninstall and then reinstall your Outlook app.

Hi Darleen,

I have the same problem, unable to set the 'New Email sound'.  I followed the suggestion of uninstalling and re-installing. Got version 3.0.34 (311) and now the 'New Email sound' has defaulted to 'Outlook Email' for both my Outlook account and my IMAP account, but I cannot change either to a different sound. When I try to change 'New Email sound' on either account I am taken to the Notification Management screen.

I am running Android version 8.0.0 on Huawei P Smart phone.

Hi Adrian_R---01,

Since you are also experiencing the same issue that EZ-D has, we highly suggest contacting our Outlook in-app support team. Kindly follow the steps that we provided last March 28, 2019 in this thread. 

If further assistance is needed, don't hesitate to reach us out.

You replicated on the "Android" Outlook app and have no issues?  

 I can no longer select a sound for incoming mail either, when you click to select incoming mail sounds it opens Notification settings.

Rather than hundreds of folks contacting Outlook for help, how about one Tech do so and then post that solution right here where people are looking for help?

As Darleen Pen suggested in March, I have contacted the Outlook in-app support team and they have told me that my problem is caused by the way Android is implemented on the Huawei P Smart. I have tried to find someone at Huawei who can tell me what is being done about it but not found anyone who will undertake to find out.

Does anyone know if the problem is occurring on any other brands besides Huawei?
