How do I change the incoming mail sound?

I have a funny south park .mp3 sound bite I want to use as a replacement to the bland/dull sound my Mac uses when notifying me of new e-mail. Is there an easy way to do this?

Did you put the sound in /Library/Sounds (you would have had to create that folder, since it doesn't exist by default), or ~/Library/Sounds (you might have had to create that folder, too)?
.wav, .aif, .aiff, and .snd are all files I've used and they all work perfectly, so I'm not sure what your problem may be. Did you try using Disk Utility to Repair Disk Permissions, or even removing your com.apple.mail.plist file from ~/Library/Preferences, and then restarting Mail and setting up your accounts again? If not, do those things in order, but Don't Empty the Trash.

  • HT4864 How do I directly change the incoming mail server for icloud in Mail?  It's grayed out.

    How do I directly change the incoming mail server for icloud in Mail?  It's grayed out.
    I ask this because I have suddenly stopped receiving most e-mails in Mail.  I've found that my incoming mail server (p01-imap.mail.me.com) is different from what the Apple mail setup assistant recommends (mail.me.com), but I cannot change it because it is grayed out.  Any ideas?

    I'm afraid that AFAIK you've gone through the card. You could try Support, though I don't know how helpful they are likely to be.
    To contact  iCloud Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
    You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
    If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee.

  • TS3988 I cannot change the incoming mail sever

    I recently set up two aliases through iCloud and then added them as new email accoutns to my email client on my computer. However, I cannot click on the field to change the incoming mail server. There is a generic greyed out 'mail.example.com', but I cannot change that on either account. I also have squiggly lines nest to the inboxes on the email client. When I click on those, I am asked to put in a password. The only password I know to put in is my iCloud Password, but that doesn't work, and it asks again.
    Can anyone please help?
    Thanks,
    Jeremy

    I am up against the same problem with a reticent Incoming Mail Server field as I attempt to set up IMAP accounts for my original mac.com alias addresses. I've tried deleting the incomplete account setups, then recreating an identical account using "imap.mail.me.com" without success. Nor have I found any improvement by changing the Account Type from an iCloud IMAP to a plain IMAP account…and back again.
    The field labeled Alias appears to offer a choice of Custom or Edit Aliases but attempts to make a different selection are futile…the setting remains on Custom.
    Curiously, however, my primary mac.com address appears to be operating correctly, though it requires an altogether different IMAP address — po3-imap.mail.me.com.  Presumably, a solution exists; however, it remains elusive and far from intuitive to this observer.  Any insight from more experienced users than I will be gratefully received! Thank you.
    n.b.:  a conversation with an AppleCare specialist left him equally perplexed and questioning whether a mac.com alias email address can, indeed, be set up in iCloud to work alongside ones primary mac.com address.

    The settings are not generic for all webmail accounts, only your office IT department would know what the server address is for their outgoing email server.  You'll have to ask them about it.

    How do I change the e-mail address default on the icloud without losing the contacts saved?

    Each iCloud account can only have a single iCloud email account.  As such, you can't have a different email account on your iPod if it is using the same iCloud account. 
    You can create additional alias email addresses within this iCloud account, but they will all receive email in the same inbox as the primary icloud email address.
