Default How to turn on the display when an email is received ?

When i receive an new email through activesync push (exchange 2007) i have enabled the option to display the message on screen and sound notification but the screen doesn't turn on automatically like when you receive a new SMS so basically its almoste impossible know when you receive a new email.

Can i change this somehow to act like when an SMS is received and turn on the screen ?

thank you

Yeah, also noticed that.
Would be nice to have a solution for that.

@Work i have my phone on table and sound/vibrate disabled.
So the only way to see a message is when screen turns on.

Ok, there's the LED, but in a bright room it can take hours till u notice that.

I googled this issue a lot, no luck.
I just get sound and vibrate, no screen message.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who find this odd
I was hoping it was fixed/added on WM6 but its not
Strange that no one has notice or even make a query about this in Microsoft, i find it completely stupid not to act the same way as an SMS/MMS since nowadays i use more the email than texting.

Lets hope for someone to do something about this if its possible

this is killing me!
any hard code developer can do something about this ?? it must be a way to trigger the same procedure that SMS uses in order to turn on the screen or something.

please please for this!

You'd think that Pocket MSN would also do the same wouldn't you? But it doesn't

this is by far the stupidest thing for the WM. I really can even begin to think why they did this, who is the genius behind this idea ?!?

Hell I think its a good idea. I'd hate my screen to come on everytime I got an email! I get a lot of email so that would majorly suck!

Yesbut why not just have it as a selectable option, that would make more sense!
