Cannot turn off incoming mail sounds

I am running 10.8.1 on a new retina macbook.
I have tried every preference panel I can find and nothing seems to be able to turn off the incoming mail sound.
I am getting what I think is the "Basso" sound whenever a new mail message comes in.
I went to Mail Preferences and picked New Messages Sound>None.
Then I unchecked Play sounds for other mail actions
Still get the basso sound when new mail comes in.
I even rebooted to see if that would fix it. No luck.
Then I went and tried to change the sound to something else. That didn't work either. Stuck on basso!
Even checked Notifications Center and the Sound Preferences Panel. No luck there either.
I don't want to turn off sound entirely, just stop incoming mail sounds.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!
thanks

Hi Mikibee... Try this: Mail / Preferences setting, from this window you will see (new message sound), set it to " none". Let me know if it worked for you.
Thanks.

If you have a phone intended for sale in Japan, it's operating correctly. The mute switch does not disable the shutter sound. All phones in Japan, to the best of my knowledge, are hard coded to prevent the sound from being disabled for privacy reasons.

Wireless 3dTactic Rage - beeping sounds and cannot turn off . . .

For some weird reason i cannot turn off my headset anymore.
It doesn't work.
When i try, it simply looses connection with pc and reconnects. At least i'm guessing that's what's happening.
The USB transmitter is swithching between blinking and fixed light.
I've tried re-pairing it a few times now, that stops the connect/disconnect issue but i still can't turn off the power. . .
Unlike many others who are experiencing problems, i have NOT attempted to install any firmware updates, so i'm at a loss at what is happening here.
Any suggestions?

Setting incoming mail sounds

Good morning.
I have 3 email accounts set up via my mac mail. I wanted to assign a different sound to each to alert me when mail arrives.
I quickly realized the general settings in preferences for incoming mail sound is a global setting, not adjustable per account. So I created three rules: when to matches *this email address* play *this sound*.
That seems to work EXCEPT that the general setting *New Mail Sound* also occurs. If I set New Mail Sound to None in the General settings, all new mail sound is shut off--including the specific sounds I set in Rules.
Anyone know how to turn off the global new mail sound yet still hear the specific new mail sounds per different email accts?
Thanks for your help.

Open Mail preferences, click on the Accounts icon in the toolbar, click on the Advanced tab, uncheck the box labeled IDLE and see if that fixes things.

I sent a friend some photos and since then the email keeps coming up in recovered. every time I delete it it appears again in recovered. I cannot get any incoming mail either as the little circle just keeps spinning. its driving me mad!! I can get my emai

I sent a friend some photos, since then the email keeps appearing in recovered from my mac. Everytime I delete it it comes back. also I cannot get any incoming mail, the circle keeps on spinning, I can get mail on my ipad, Has anyone got a solution please.
thanks

Yes,ranchers, I did try that a bunch of times- thanks for trying.
I'm gonna list all the things I did (that I can can think of):
Tried to force close the app.
Turned on/off wiFi
Tried letting it just run on the screen it's stuck at for like 15 minutes
Ugh...my brain is turning off-I think it's frozen like my Sims! Cornball I know.
But I've tried everything I could think of which is a bunch more things than what I was able to list. And I'll do my best to answer any questions cause I know from looking all over on different forums that I'm not the only one this is happening to. It happened to a bunch of people who I think are still waiting for theirs to get fixed.

Turning off the Swooosh sound

Is there a way to turn off the swooosh sound everytime you send a text message?

The OP is asking about the sound for sending text messages. Turning the sound off for sent mail doesn't affect the sound for sent text messages.

Please help! I cannot turn off IPOD due to blocking message

Please help, dear Ipod Experts and better Ipod Users,
I cannot turn off the Ipod (when I click to the bottom ) anymore as following message appears:
"FireWire connections are not supported to transfer songs, connect to the USB cable provided"
Even resetting the Ipod the message appears again and again and I dont have the slightest idea what the IPOD is trying to tell me. I have regularly uploaded the songs via Itunes with the USB cable (Nothing else) and I use the official I-Fusion Sonic Impact to hear the songs in loud. Can there be the connection, because I remember that this message started appearing when the IPOD was connected to the I-Fusion.
In order to turn the IPOD I have to leave it on till it turns off due to battery deload...Very sad solution, isnt it?
Thanks so much for answers for a real desperate Ipod Fan

It sounds like you have reached the authorization limit of 5 computers. So if you need to authorize another one, either deauthorize any other computers have authorized in the past that you still have physical access to or use the Deauthorize All option as described in this article.

How to turn off camera shutter sound

how to turn off camera shutter sound on iphone5?

You're getting different answers because different countries have different rules. In some places Apple is allowed to turn off the camera sound when the device is put on mute. In others, because of privacy concerns, Apple is not allowed to do so. Whenther you can or not depends on where you are. If mute doesn;t do it for you, you probably cannot turn it off.

Turn off e-mail checking?

Is there a way to turn off the e-mail checking on the BB? I sit at my desk 90% of the time, right in front Outlook, so if an e-mail comes in I know it pretty quickly. There is really no need for my BB to receive the e-mail as well unless I leave my office. So, is there a way to turn off e-mail checking, then turn it back on when I leave my office (and shut down Outlook)?
Jesse

Again, an imperfect suggestion, but I just open my sound profile and turn off email notifications while I'm at work. Then back on again when I'm away from my computer. Messages still get delivered but it doesn't ring. To be honest, I always forget to turn the sound back on but I still seem to notice emails when I'm doing other things (phone calls, SMS, etc.).
Rgrds,

Washing machines are a great way to find out it's time for a new phone.

Yes, I have the option "NONE" on my phone but what happens is that I have the incoming text without any sound (selected in "none") but when I send a text, still happens! that annoying sound!

How to turn off Facebook Notification Sounds?

I just discovered that I cannot turn off Sounds for Facebook integration in Notification Centre on Mountain Lion.
All the other services I use - Photo Stream, Messages, Reminders, etc. - have three options to check off. "Show in Notification Centre," "Badge app icon," and "Play sound when receiving notifications." I have the third option unchecked for all services, but Facebook does not even display this option. Yet, in the sidebar, I can see that "Badges, Sounds, Banners" are enabled under Facebook.
Why does Facebook appear to offer more restricted integration options?

Have you looked in the settings and notifications and turned it off there?
