Default Email on the EVO

Hello current EVO owners answering "does it do...?" questions! Your time and patience is much appreciated.

If you have more than one email account synched to the EVO, can you change the alert tone to something different for each account? Any issues with customizing ring tones for email, SMS, MMS, (I assume it's easy to assign custom ring tones to calls received from specific phone numbers...)

Any issues with email push? What accounts are working well for that? (Yahoo, gmail, hotmail, etc.)

Thanks!

As far as I know, Gmail is the only push service on Android. I've been having some issues with it as described here:
