I sometimes get the outgoing sound of mail going out when nothing was sent.
This happens when I start the application even though I had nothing the the pending file.
I check to see if there is something new in the Sent box and there isn't.
Perplexing...
iMac (20-inch Mid 2007), Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Jotz, wouldn't there be evidence that mail was sent in the sent mailbox if there were reminders sent? I have the same concern about multiple mail-sent sounds. Someone from Apple should address this because it makes many of us worried that there is somebody hijacking our email account to send spam or worse.
For me the sounds occur less often, but I heard a few whooshes and bings again yesterday, so if something has been fixed, it is not entirely so. Running Mavericks 10.9.1.

Foiled again. Tried to download Mavericks. Not sure how you all got it in 30 mins. After watching it slowly download over 2 hrs with an estimated 6 to go I am abandoning ship. Think I will live with the swooshing sound. Great system.
Previously had similar activity in Mac mail, but have all sounds off, so cannot say it is exactly the same.
Result of combination of using multiple devices (iPads, iPods, computers), multiple users sharing a mail account, and using a pop3 based mail account (yahoo). Pieces of mail get moved between folders on the web server when using other devices, then when you open Mail on Mac, you see a bunch of activity as it sorts the mail. When using Mail for a pop3 account, you see all the folders that exist on the web page down the left sidebar of mail. When you move mail to trash on other device, you will see activity on Mail next time you open it.
All activity (and visibility to online folders) stopped when I changed to imap.
I get this occurence on my macbook air 2013 operating on os 10.8.5 only when I connect to tv via HDMI cable and log load a netflix movie but it happens every time UNLESS I quit mail first, then it doesn't happen.
I have started getting the 'whoosh' BEFORE the plane has even left the runway. The sound was always a confirmation that the message had been sent successfully, but now, the progress bar is still working away AFTER the whoosh sound has gone and, often, the message doesn't even go and is put in the outbox to attempt it again at another time. This is very unreliable information and I have come to distrust any of these 'confirmation' sounds. It works ok on my Mac - just the iPad which does it different.
Same Problem here.
Same thing here for nearly 3 years on my macbook air and Air 2013, both on 10.8.5. 20 years on Macs & have never had so many issues.
I will say that computer "crashes" are a thing of the past which is amazing, but so many other little issues arise constantly.
There has got to be a fix for this other than updating to a new OS which my 512GB Air does not have room for! a topic for another forum topic, but how on EARTH does a 512gb fill up on files considered "Other"??? never seen such a ting in all my 20+ years on Mac, and no APPLE utility to fix it, scan it, see what those files are.
I have been hoping for a solution… I will add my voice to this long list. APPLE, are you there?
This sound upon logging in and starting up in the morning just happened for the first time -- running osx 10.8.5. I wasn't on my mail at all last night before logging off at 1 am. I don't use email on my iphone either. I did however setup imessages on the desktop for the first time after having it turned off for a few years. maybe coincidence, who knows.
