    In the profiles you can set up each account to notify you in any of the following ways;
    No notification
    LED flashing
    Vibrate
    Tone

    You can use any combination and if you have multiple accounts each can be set different. Example for me all SMS vibrate flash and tione, work email is 1 vibrate and home email is 2 vibrations.

    I really like the phone and am really enjoying email everywhere. Only problem is when you go home in the evening fighting the temptation to read mails.

    Anything which you can check using Outlook Express can be done on your Blackberry (in general).

    A good way to test is to goto www.mail2web.com and enter your username/email and password - and see if it loads up your emails.

    With Googlemail you'll need to goto the "forwarding and POP" section within your settings to enabled it.

    Not sure on Vodafone mail, but I'd imagine it's similar - or ring Vodafone and ask them for the mail server details.

    ++ edit ++ (from Vodafone website)
    What are the POP settings for Vodafone Mail?
    Outgoing mail server: mail.vodafone.ie
    Incoming mail server (POP3): pop.vodafone.ie
    Incoming mail server (IMAP): imap.vodafone.ie

    So yes, that'll work too :)
