| | Re: New Mail Sound Thanks - that's what you should have said first time. All you need now is a Vista expert who's running the beta build (<tiny ping gvdm />) to tell you what else to try. I use the production version 12 on XP, so I'm no use to you. (I did think that build 14.0 5027.0908 was called 'Version 2009', but I may be wrong.) You do say, though, that 'all default settings have a sound associated' - does this mean that there is a sound called New Mail Notification, and this is the one you don't hear? -- Noel "rak" <rakess@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:14v6l.32357$ly1.15153@xxxxxx Quote: > Thanks for the response.

| | Re: New Mail Sound Hi, rak. I'm using Vista Ultimate x64 and WLM 2009 14.0.8050.1202. In Control Panel | Sound | Sounds, under the Windows heading, I have a looong list of sounds. But, as Mike said, no separate heading for WLM. As Mike also said, listed alphabetically between Minimize and Open Program, I have New Mail Notification (and New Fax Notification, which Mike didn't mention), set to Windows Notify.wav. See the attached Snip. This may be one of the regressions in 0908, but since I've already replaced that one with 1212... RC -- R. C.
