[QUOTE="VegasGeorge, post: 980767, member: 21096"] OK - I got it working. I'm not sure what fixed it, but this is what I did. I gave up the idea of deleting the plist file, those Mail preferences include the Account/Server settings, and are just too much trouble to mess with. I ran all of the Onyx Automated maintenance routines. Still no sound. I set up a Mail Rule requiring an incoming mail sound. Still no sound. I went back and disabled Idle again. Now I got two sounds in succession. I went back and deleted my new Rule. Now I just have the one sound I want. It's working! :) Note: I had tried disabling Idle to begin with. It didn't work then. But now, after everything else I did, disabling Idle worked. Go figure! [/QUOTE]
