Re: Add a wav to the Sounds

Windows Mail uses the default Windows sound for mail (except it doesn't
work).

You can copy your file to C:\Windows\media
then go to
Start - control Panel - Sound - Sounds

to change the sound file to play for the new mail event

Hi King Fish,

Save your sound file to the default "C:\Windows\Media", or where you want to keep it. Then change the sound event for "New Mail Notification". This tutorial will show you how.
