• Go into your email on the blackberry so that you see your message titles
• Hit the ‘option’ button, on mine it has something that looks like this:

<--- you have to be looking at emails when you hit this button otherwise you go somewhere else.

• Now, scroll down to option and you will see ‘Message Options’
• Under ‘Email Filters create a new filter:
  Select ‘Forward with Level 1 Notfication’ when ‘Importance: High’
• Now go all the way back to the main options menu (out of email) and pick ‘Profiles’, I change my profile to ‘Phone Only’ so that I don’t get a vibration on normal emails.
• While still in ‘Profiles’ scroll down to an almost hidden ‘Advanced’ option and then pick ‘Phone Only’ again (this was confusing for me but it is ‘Advanced’ phone only features
• Now change the ‘Level 1 Messages’ options for ‘Vibrate+Tone’ for ‘In Holster’ and ‘Out of Holster’

Now send yourself an email marked ‘Urgent’ or ‘High Importance’, it should show up on your normal email and blackberry with a red exclamation point and your blackberry should now alert you.
