Re: [Evolution] New mail sound notification

[Mark Gordon <mtgordon ximian com>]

Two ways to get a sound when receiving email:

1) The generic approach: having the mail preferences, new mail
notification set to play a sound file.
2) The specific aproach: having a filter play a sound file when specific
criteria are met.  One could also use different sounds for different
filters.

To have a sound for just one folder, just turn off the generic mail
notification sound, and add a sound action to the filter that populates
that folder.  This assumes your folders get populated by Evolution
filters rather than by procmail or some other mechanism.  That wasn't
specified.
