New Mail Sound

Typically I run PopFile to filter out a bunch of junk mail, which then
sends the mail to IE's inbox. IE then uses filters and immediately
moves the mail to a spam box -- along with various other filters.

My question is whether there's some way to tell IE to only sound the new
mail tones when there is something sitting in the inbox after IE applies
it's filters? The sound is useless when it goes off 20 times for spam
for every once it goes off for real mail. It would seem relatively easy
for IE to restrict the sound to when there's mail that actually passes
it's filter criteria.

Thanks...

It's the default folder name for where your new mail shows up in IE. At
least that's the default name when I installed IE.

Actually, IE (Internet Explorer) itselft doesn't have mail. Outlook Express,
however, does. (That is IE's counterpart.)

OE doesn't support what you request because it sends the new mail indicator
to Windows when mail arrives in the Inbox. Only after mail arrives in the
Inbox can OE work on it (run filters, etc.).
