New Mail sound?

[jbray59]

I have checked all through the new MWP2010 and have the box checked for a sound to be played when new mail arrives but have yet to hear anything. Is there someway to change to my own sound file like I have set-up with Outlook Express or is it a default sound?

Currently MailWasher is hardcoded to play C:\Windows\media\notify.wav

We'll be adding very soon an option to play a custom sound though, hopefully by the end of the week

Also when new mail arrives the sound will not play if the MW window is selected, you need to click the desktop or another Window to get the sound to play.

This was done intentionally but it drives me to distraction since if I forget to click outside the MW window I don't get notified of new mail. I'm hoping it gets made optional at some point.

Thanks for the replies. Helped a lot!

Just to confirm the New Mail Sound issue will be fix shortly, it works well in the beta
