email notification repeat

Every time an email arrives, I need to have a sound that repeats every few minutes until I either mark it as read or delete it.
My LG K7 (android 5.1.1) has no inbuilt ability to do that.
I am unable to find an app to do it.
 
My Samsung A3 has a "Notification Reminder" in Settings - Accessibility Options. Are you sure your device doesn't have that option?
 
Under apps - messaging - settings - notification settings - repeat alert, it is set to repeat every 2 minutes, but it makes the selected sound only once and will not repeat.
So I am looking for an app that will repeat the sound.
 
Thank you, vosg. That works. I found that the repeat alert in the LG k7 repeats for text messages but not emails.
Missed Notifications Reminder takes care of it for emails.

Now I find that Missed Notifications Reminder on the smartphone does not work when my windows 10 computer is turned off or asleep. When the computer awakes or is turned on, then I hear the sound that I have set telling me that I missed an email two hours ago or so because the computer was not on. Is there some way to get an android smartphone to sound an alert for a new email without needing to have a computer turned on?
 
Have you tried Outlook? It asks me if I want to get a notification for each email I receive. It also lets me set a default outlook notification sound or lets you choose sounds you downloaded from a third party app like Zedge etc. in Outlook settings.

I tried Outlook. It plays a default sound but I am unable to find how to set a custom sound either in Outlook or by internet search.
