Ok I thought I had this pegged earlier but am running into one problem. 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. What happens when that one folder is your Inbox? So I don't have a filter that populates it, what happens is that after every thing has been filtered by evolution on my inbox; from my mailing list subscriptions etc etc the mail that's left in my Inbox is the email I want the sound to be played on.

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. -Mark Gordon On Wed, 2003-03-26 at 12:53, Christopher Warner wrote:Is there anyway to not play a sound for the rest of my folders except for one? If I use the filter method for "Play Sound" and don't select anything I get the File does not exist dialog. I don't want a sound to play at all for these other folders the only way around it is to just play an empty wav file I guess.

The situation as it stands is that every time I get new mail in a sub folder of my inbox a sound is played. I only want sound to be played for a certain folder; my main inbox. My other folders I'll go through on the weekend or when I have free time. The frequency in which I receive mail in email lists such as this one and others makes for an annoying experience when it comes to the notification of new mail (playing a sound). Even if I only check for new mail every hour. Any info on this would be cool.. The way it looks from the user side of things Evolution will play the sound file on all new mail regardless of what it is. If that's the case I vote for "New Mail Notification" functionality =) Thanks a lot gals/guys, Christopher Warner_______________________________________________ evolution maillist - evolution lists ximian com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
