I do not get a sound when new e-mail arrives in my inbox. I have new mail
notification set to ding.wav and it works when I select play, but does not
work when new e-mails arrives. This started when I upgraded from office 2003
to office 2007. I am using xp home.
Thank you
bobby
 
If you have rules that move mail to subfolders on arrival, the sound will not play. Additionally, it will play for new mail only every 5 minutes, not for every mail received.

Hi Milly,
Thanks for replying to my post, I am using hotmail through my outlook.
I'm not sure if that is considered a subfolder or not. Is this something new?
I had it set up the same way for outlook 2003 and got a ding for every new
email, I get no sound at all from new e-mails, not even every 5 minutes, also
i do not have any rules set up.
thanks again
Bobby
 
New mail notifications and other Outlook specific items do not work for http mail like Hotmail.

How annoying. I've got exactly the same setup. Anyone know of an add-in or
download that could help?

Thanks.

Hi. After much pain and suffering I've gone back to Windows Live Mail which
is being much nicer to me and making me cry less.

But I did find this along my travels:

No idea if it works, but let me know if you try it!

Cheers.

I have had the same problem since I began using Outlook 2007 with Vista. I
have elected HTTP format for e-mail - could that be the cause? It works
intermittently, but mostly not.
