Can Evolution play a sound when mail is received?

fix

Yes, Evolution can play a sound when new mail is received. Try the following to ensure that sound is activated on your system: esdplay /usr/lib/games/xpat/audio/success.wav If the file plays coherently then sound is enabled and functioning properly. You'll need to configure the following in Evolution: Go to Tools-->Settings-->Mail Preferences-->New Mail Notification Check either the box that says "Beep when new mail arrives" or "Play sound file when new mail arrives" Next, go to Mail Accounts--> Highlight the E-mail account where you'd like sound to play--->click [Edit] --> Receiving Options and check the box that says "Apply Filters to new messages" Click [ OK ] Evolution should now play a sound when new mail arrives.
