Trying to get AIFF sound bites for my IMac G5

[cooljoe815]

I thought it would be easy, I google , AOL, you got mail AIFF sound bite and nothing came up. I remember the old days of googling wav files and hundreds of web pages came up.

Anyone know how to get , you got mail, to put in my imac mail?

Also, while Im at it, I went to Expose and it says on top, all windows and function key, F9 is suppose to activate them and you see all the windows in your desktop. I pressed F9, F10 and nada.

What am I doing wrong? any help is greatly appreciated.

Here is your sound file that you were looking for: http://new.wavlist.com/event/001/youvegotmail.wav

In the prefs in Mail.app, in the General Tab, go to "new mail sound:" and go down to Add/Remove. And insert your sound file.

For exposé, go to system prefs, then Dashboard & Exposé, and look to see if in the Keyboard Shortcuts section that the shortcuts are set right, if they are, change them, exit out, then go back in and change them back to the default, the preference file might be corrupted, then try it again.
