Hi Paul,

This does not appear to be an OE issue. The mail truck sound is apparently
Web-based (sound arrives when opening the browser page when a new message is
available). I'm not familiar with the Earthlink software, but there may be a
local setting for the sound. Earthlink e-mail support should be able to
answer the question.

I hear the "mail truck" sound when I open a new IE window (which is set to
my earthlink.net home page), and a new e-mail has arrived. I never use the
web-based e-mail, I only use Outlook Express. I can't preview the new e-mail
sound because I removed the "speaker" icon next to "New Mail Notifivation".
Not only that, but I also set the sound to (None). And I created a new sound
scheme which should include the new setting of no sound for new e-mail. But
despite all that, I still am forced to listen to the irritating "mail truck"
when I open a new IE window, and another piece of spam has been sent to me.

Hi Pud,

The new mail notification sound works for POP3 e-mail received in Outlook
Express, not Internet Explorer. If you can clarify the circumstances of
when
the sound of the "mail truck" is heard it should be possible to direct you
to the right newsgroup for the question. Is your new mail sound heard when
using Web-based e-mail? When you went to the Sounds Control Panel did you
hear the "mail truck" when previewing the new mail sound?

Every time I open a new IE window, and another e-mail has arrived, usually
spam, I get surprised by the "mail truck" sound. I tried to find the sound
file and delete it, but I can't find it. I know I could turn my speakers
off, but that ruins other sounds I want to hear.

I went to Control Panel/Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices/Change the Sound
Scheme/Sounds/ went in the box and changed "New Mail Notification" to
where
is does not have a cartoon of a speaker next to it, changed the box below
that, where it says "Sounds" to (None), clicked "Apply", saved the sound
scheme in the highest box within the "Sound and Audio Devices Properties"
box and STILL I get that damn mail truck sound when I open IE and mail has
arrived. This is really frustrating.
