No Mail Sound After Update
I have no sounds in Mail version 3.6. I checked preferences, New Mail Sounds is on. My volume is on.
Any suggestions? Thanks - Fabe

It was clear to me!
I do have an IMAP account, so the 3rd step was key to solve the no-sound problem.
Thanks bowlerboy for taking the time to share your findings!
diggin up an old post. I had to re-install 10.5.8 on this 2007 iMac. The sounds in Mail were working before, now they are not. 😠I use POP to bring down my mail so the 3rd suggestion is moot. The other two I have checked. Still no sound. 😟 Any other suggestions?
All my settings for the first two points were correct and turning off IDLE completely delected my entire mac account from Mail. It showed up in Accounts but not in the Mail browser which caused me considerable panic.
I love Apple but really, how hard is it just to get the basics right?

Idle on or off should have no such effect, I think you have deeper problems & should start a new topic/question to get more helpers on it. 🙂
??? Idle on/off did exactly that. As I've no clue what it's SUPPOSED to do I wouldn't know what to ask.
All I want is for my Mail sounds to work.
That's why I'm here.
What I did was shut down the computer and unplugged it from the back for about 30 or so. Came back, plugged it in, started the computer and PRESTO! Sounds now work for incoming Mail. 🙂
Yes, I've had a few lone bings after a restart too.
Please post back to tell us if it holds. I doesn't on mine.
cheers.
A full day now, every email bings, beeps, purrs or goes cha-ching! 🙂 I have the InBox, and 50 folders to organize incoming mail with rules. Some folders are setup to have their own distinctive sound. I set my email to check every 5 mins. Everything is working as it should. (OSX 10.5.8).
