I have upgraded from ipad 1 to ipad mini. I never could hear the alerts for emails received on my ipad 1. I have an iPhone and they work ok on that and I can't see that any of the settings are different. I thought there was a problem with my ipad 1 but having loaded all my stuff firm iTunes it still does not work on my mini. I get volume fr music videos etc and the volume button is on maximum. My husband has an ipad 2 and he gets a sound when an email arrives and as far as I can see all the settings are the same.
Alerts for emails

If you used iTunes to set up your iPad mini from the backup of your iPad 1, you have also copied the setting that has turned off your email alert. The good news is that this means there is probably nothing wrong with your original iPad.
Now all you have to do is find out which setting is responsible for the lack of an alert.

Just as a matter of interest, which sound are you supposed to be getting. You can find out from the same screen as Scifan's screenshot.
This should be simple. We can ignore Privacy and Do Not Disturb, because those features don't exist on the original iPad. So this is something that exists on iOS 5 and 6.

Okay rosie, lets try a few things: go to Sounds and make sure you are set up something like this....
Go to Notifications>Mail and make sure you are set up something like this....
And this.......
Go to Mail, Contacts, Calendar>Fetch New Data>Advanced>Gmail> select Fetch.
Should look like this....
Hope this helps, let us know.
