I have just upgraded from MS Small Business for Windows XP
to MS Office 2003. In MS Office Outlook 2003
(11.5608.5703), I have a check in the "play sound" when
new mail arrives box, it works maybe one time out of 10.
I've been sending "test" emails to myself and it will work
but when I check email at the end of the day and have
several to receive, as they come in, no sound will be
played. Its been a "head scratcher". Thanks for any
help/direction!
 
Hi have you tried going into control panel and sounds and
devices, scroll down through the list until you find the
new mail notification, select the sound and apply it.

Sometimes the sound will not play if you have a lot of
emails recieved at one time

Hope this works
 
Yes, I've done the sounds and devices thing a bunch of
times...even using silly sounds and applying them to the
New Mail Notification sound file. Thanks for your
response! I was thinking of a registry hack for the New
Mail Notification sound. Wondering if there is a time
delay associated with it?
