Sound notification for specific mail account?

On Mac OS X, is there a way to have Mac Mail trigger a sound notification for a specific account. Right now, it dings for all accounts when I only need it for one.

Hello 4thSpace,

It sounds like you're wanting to have a different sound play for each account when you receive a message. I know it's important to get your Mac configured the way you like, and I think I can help.

I think a great option to take care of the tasks you're looking for is to set up a rule for each account to play a sound on every message.

Here's the info you'll need to set up a rule:
Use rules to manage emails you receive in Mail on Mac - Apple Support

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
