IMAP Account - Mail Sound doesn't work

Hi I'm a new user and I already checked in this forum if there was a solution about my problem, but I haven't found it.
If I set my account with IMAP protocol, incoming email sound doesn't work... if I set it with POP3 protocol, it works...
OS X ver. 10.6.7
Mail ver. 4.5 (1084)
Thanks!
PS sorry for my bad english...

I have used IMAP IDLE for years with no problem having new mail sound. However in the last few days the alert sound has stopped working. I guess its related to a software update we had recently.
Very annoying to loose the alert sound.

HT1657 I rented a movie and the sound doesn't work, how do I fix it?, who do I direct to for a complaint?

Hi, I rented warhorse HD, and the sound doesn't work, my itunes version is 10.6.1(7). How do I fix it or who do I direct to get my money back? Thank you

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

Mail server doesn't work after upgrading from SL to ML

My Mail server doesn't work after upgrading from SL to ML
Mail client connects with the Mail Server wich seems to run but then they can't receive any email...
the problem seems to be related with dovecot ... in my smtp log i get this:
relay=dovecot, delay=324, delays=324/0.02/0/0.01, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: pipe: fatal: pipe_command: execvp /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver: Permission denied
I have to say that in the usr/libexec there wasn't the dovecot directory so I just tried to create one but with no luck
Any Ideas?
Cheers

Hi Gwing17,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that all of your iPhone sounds are working as expected except for the Sent Mail sound. I understand that you have already changed the Sent Mail sound as well as reset your iPhone and the issue persists. In this situation, to isolate the issue, I would first recommend backing up your iPhone to either iTunes or iCloud.
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
After you have backed up, I would recommend restoring your iPhone and setting it up as new to test the Sent Mail sound. If the sound works as expected, try restoring from your backup and test the sound again. Please let me know if the issue returns or if the sound still does not work when you set up your iPhone as a new device.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
Cheers,
Joe

I have just updated my software to 10.8.2 and now my sound doesn't work. Any suggestions?

I used disk permission repair to try to resolve this as well as a 'soft' restart. Still have a grayed-out mute checkbox in the sound section of system preferences.

Sound doesn't work(only in firefox). why? sound doesn't work(only in firefox). why? (adobe flash player doesn't work even thought it's installed)

sound doesn't work (only in firefox). adobe flash player doesn't work correctly, thought it's installed. can't solve the problem. i need Sound.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== don't know

What does the Adobe test page say?
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")
See also [[No sound in Firefox]] and [[Video or audio does not play]]

There are numerous reports of this issue happening on iPhones. It may be a glitch that will need a new update. Some find that a full shut-down and restart fixes that problem, but not always.

OP should first go through the wiki page of ALSA to ensure that his ALSA setup is working correctly. There aren't many sound setups that do not work under ALSA. If OP is relying on another sound setup then he should follow the appropriate wiki and tell us so.
@otto88: It would also help if you would try to explain what your intentions were. I'm assuming you merely want to have sound working and not configure some fancy setup. In that case you should just stick to a basic setup and follow the wiki step by step (don't skip any line and if you don't understand something, you figure that out or you ask people, don't just ignore it).
For instance I don't even have those /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and /etc/modprobe.d/snd-hda-intel.conf even though I have 2 sound devices, while you seem to only have 1 sound device
otto88 wrote:cat /proc/asound/modules
0 snd_hda_intel
So your /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf in that case is totally unnecessary, let alone that you don't even have the snd_mia module loaded so why do you even configure alsa to load it at index 1. You aren't supposed to simply copy and paste the configurations from the wiki. Those configurations are merely there to give you an idea on how to make your own configuration.
When you have ensured that your sound is been set up correctly then you can start with the most basic mplayer configuration. You keep the /etc/mplayer/example.cong configuration file totally commented out (like you have atm) and your ~/.mplayer/config should only contain
ao=alsa

Hello Kiira Doon,
The troubleshooting steps detailed below may help get your iPhone's display to function.
Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?Contact Apple Support.

Mail app doesn't work

Mail app doesn't work after Yosemite OSX upgrade. At first it didn't check email and now it doesn't boot. I tried many times, but nothing happens

Ok after nearly going crazy I read something about someone having a problem with a program related to fonts not being installed. I started up font book and now my problem is miraculously resolved... This is good and bad. I don't know why having font book running would resolve my problem or know what font is causing the programs not to work. As far as I know I didn't disable any system fonts. And the problem doesn't happen when font book is running, which is confusing me.

Did you check the switch on the side, next to the volume controls? Is it set to turn off the sound in Settings/General/Side switch?
Can you hear sound if you change the settings for your ringtone for example?
