Receiving an alert for every e-mail that arrives can be very distracting. You will need to disable all the sounds on your iPhone or iPad in a couple different areas. This will ensure you only receive the alerts you want to receive. This process is shown on iPhone, but works the same on iPad. *If you would like to receive alerts for email from your boss (or just a few individuals), you can assign them a VIP status, and turn on alerts for VIPs only. This process is shown using iOS 8.
