Unwarranted mail notification sound alerts in Mac Mail

Can be many in a row...and often dims the brightness on computer with each notification. Catalina 10.15.5. Had this computer awhile and this is a new problem...and have not added email accounts etc.

Please help. It's becoming more frequent and is a real blocker problem to using this expensive Mac.

Best,

Dinging sound when new email comes in on MacBook Air I am getting a dinging sound when a new email come in on my MacBook Air. ALL the notifications are turned off to every app. The curious thing is that in notifications when I click on Mail, there is no option to check or uncheck like other apps to "play sound for notifications". Not sure if that is by design or not. The sound is killing me softly....help!

where is the whoosh sound in my email? When I send an email now, I get dead silence. I want the whoosh back. Did Apple do something so that all Mac owners are equally affected? It is beyond me how to fix it. They say go to settings, I can't find settings. They say go to notifications, I can't find notifications. Just when I think I've gotten something figured out, it throws me a curve and it all becomes rocket science to me again as to how to fix something.

Have you checked System Preferences > Notifications > Mail to see what is checked there? I have nothing enabled there.
