turning off audible mail notification in outlook 2003

[Guest]

Is it possible to disable the audible mail notification that is heard when
starting Outlook 2003? If so, how? This has proven to be very annoying!

Thank you for your response. I should have clarified that what I get is a
verbal announcement (in English) stating how many unread emails I currently
have and also telling me that I have new mail. Also, the "play sound" box
was already un-checked (I tried that one a while back). Is this perhaps a
3rd party add-on and not a component of Outlook? This is a new Toshiba
Qosmio laptop.

Cheers,

The Toshiba Voice application is the culprit, not Outlook.
