Is the another way to mute incoming mail sound?

My new iPad Air has an annoying issue that I can't seem to solve.
I'm not a new user, this is my 3rd iPad.
What happens is that I have put the incoming mail sound to none in the settings. But still the incoming mail sound can be heard.
If I mute the Ring and Alerts sound, it stops. But that is annoying because now I can't hear my alarm or my keyboard clicks or applications within apps, like for instance a video on Facebook or Google+ doesn't have sound either and neither do some games? But if I un-mute it there is the annoying mail sound again.
I want to use my alarm but it's hard to sleep with a incoming mail sound going the whole night.
My slide button on the side is set to lock rotation and the bell is muted in the control panel.
I tried switching those but that doesn't make a difference.
I have 2 mail accounts, a me.com and a gmail account.
I tried removing the gmail account, thought that might be the problem but it isn't.
I rebooted but the issue us still there.
Any of you have an idea what is causing my mail sound?
Thanks,
Christine

    When trying to update my Mail Account Mailbox Behaviours settings, after making the changes when I try to close the settings pane the following messages occur: Invalid Incoming Mail Server The “Incoming Mail Server” field cannot be empty. The incoming mail server box has in light grey colour: p02-imap.mail.me.com in it and I cannot edit its content. Any ideas what is going on and how to fix it?

    Hi all,
    Mattreichenbach is probably on the right track here with a reset of settings.  I think I've determined the issue has to do with cached account information and inconsistencies for the account name.  This seems to crop up when I've changed my password and it hasn't propagated fully to all the servers, devices, certificates, etc.
    Hopefully many here are on their way to restoration of service by now but it's clear that a lot of people are having the same issues.  Very frustrating and definitely something Apple needs to resolve:  incoming mail server field grayed out, incorrect autopopulation of different fields, other unanticipated behaviors.  If you're still having issues, though, here's what worked for me...
    First, head to the iCloud preferences pane in System Configuration and choose "Sign Out".  When I did this it prompted me with a number of "are you sure" type questions about retaining information on my local machine.  I chose to delete/remove the info each time simply because it should all be restored by the cloud and I didn't want to risk a massive duplication of my data... I will say, I'm back up and running with no issues so I suspect you can make the same delete/remove choices...  But use your own judgment.  I don't want you to lose any data (ie.. please use care as you do this because I cannot bear the thought of causing anyone to experience the pain of data loss).
    Once you've signed out of iCloud, restart your system.  When you get back in, head to the Mail, Contacts and Calendars section of your System Preferences and add your account back by choosing the brushed aluminum "iCloud" button.  When it asks for your account name, use your @iCloud.com email address.  I am all but certain my issue had started because one of my devices (iPhone or whatever) had been set up with an email alias specified instead of my @iCloud.com address.
    Apple, if you're reading through any of these issues (there are TONS of users having this same problem).  Take note, that your icloud service somewhat frequently is not responding and yet tells the user that the password is wrong and this prompts people to be changing their passwords unnecessarily.  This has happened to me on numerous occasions.  Also, I noticed that last week's outage corresponded to a VERY similar outage exactly one year ago to the day.  Sounds like planned maintenance to me and I think you could do a better job notifying folks so we're not wasting HUGE amounts of time troubleshooting a problem that we have no hope of fixing.
    Hope that helps some of you!

  • INCOMING MAIL SOUNDS DELAYED 2-3 MINUTES

    I am not receiving an INSTANTANEOUS incoming mail sound alert as I have the entire time I've owned the computer. Instead, it sound alerts me 2-3 minutes after the mail is laying in the box. I NEED the instantaneous alert for my competitive business. I was 10.4.11, then performed a clean installation of Snow Leopard.
    BTW, I first upgraded to Snow Leopard and had a variety of glitches. Then, I started from scratch installing a clean install. Snow Leopard is fantastic.
    HOWEVER - I need to fix this one glitch. Any ideas?

    Same here... but with a twist.
    Very weird. I have Mail.app set to play "new mail sound" as well as other mail-even sounds.
    I have some rules that route some mail to another folder (mail box). When mail comes for those, I get the sound. But for mail that stays in the inbox, no sound. The in-box is an IMAP box while the others are "local." I used to get the sound on Tiger on my old Mini.
    When mail comes into in-box it is "bold" (no-read) which is correct.
    I have "dock count" set for in-box only. Works fine.
    I get the "woosh" when sending mail.
    I've tried setting mail preferences for "play sounds" to other sounds. Same thing.
    I've tried it with the mail.app showing and with it hidden. Same thing.
    I've tried closing and opening mail. I've tried re-booting. Still no sound for "in-box" mail that is not "routed" to another mail box.
    This is a brand new iMac with SL. Anyone have any ideas of what is going on. Maybe there is a setting I missed somewhere?
    Thanks,

  • HT1430 INCOMING MAIL SOUND

    I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO CHANGE MY INCOMING MAIL SOUND TO ANOTHER SOUND BUT ORIGINAL SELECTION KEEPS RECURRING....ANY SUGGESTIONS?

    Just to check, is this where you changed the sound?
    Settings > Sounds > New Mail
    You selected a new sound or different sound yet your New Mail sound didn't change when you received new mail.
    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. Then attempt to change the sound again.

  • The best way to get 5.1 sound out of Mac Pro

    Hello. I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but could someone recommend me the best way to get 5.1 sound of a Mac Pro. Since I don't require hi-fi -level sound, just simple directional audio for gaming and such, I wouldn't like to pour a lot of money to this. As I see it, I'd need an external sound card, internal PCI-E soundcard or speakers that have an optical input. I would like for the cost to be in two digits, euro or dollar.
    Any suggestions about hardware?

    Once again, the issue of 5.1 w/Apple comes up.
    Here is the bottom line.
    You will only get 5.1 audio if the following conditions are true:
    - You are using the OPTICAL output on your Mac
    - You are playing a DVD with a 5.1 soundtrack
    That's it. The simple truth is, that even if you have a Z-5500 setup (like I do), you still will not get 5.1 surround in ///any/// applications other then while playing a DVD.
    There is no way to get 5.1 out of a game on a Mac Pro. No matter how much money you throw at it. The support simply is not there. It is not a software issue, it is not a driver issue. It is the game developer's issue (sort of), and it is a //lack of hardware// issue.
    The complex truth, and I will attempt to explain, isn't that simple.
    Your Mac Pro or Macbook only has a single line-out, that supports 2 channels at the maximum. Optical audio will only handle 2 channels as well- it's the same signal (in two channels) on a different medium, basically.
    All PC soundcards that support proper 5.1 (save for a select few) have //multiple// line-out jacks for Front Left/Right, Center/Sub, and Rear Left/Right (3 plugs total for 5.1). Since your Mac/Mac Pro doesn't have this, you can't hook up a 5.1 speaker set and expect true 5.1.
    You do have optical audio, however, this only works in 5.1 when a Dolby Digital signal is piped through the optical cable.
    Dolby Digital works by encoding a 5.1 signal as a data stream, sending it to a receiver, where it is decoded and played back as 5.1 stereo. DVD's have this audio pre-encoded on the disk.
    If you wanted 5.1 output from your games, they'd need to ether have the sound/audio data encoded as Dolby 5.1, or support encoding on the fly to take a 5.1 signal, encode it, and pipe it out the optical audio plug. Xbox360 does this, because they've licensed the technology from Dolby- as have the game developers.
    Unfortunately, none of the developers for Macintosh gaming have yet to include live Dolby 5.1 encoding (I think Doom 3 had a beta patch that did- I could be wrong).
    If the game doesn't support the above feature, then you only get basic 2 channel audio.
    *Do not buy a Fireface 800.*
    This is a professional audio interface (like an external soundcard). While it supports 5.1 output via 6 individual outputs, you need SPEAKERS that have +built in amplifiers+ (called a Studio Monitor). Not just one amplifier- all the speakers have it built in and take a balanced stereo input.
    You're looking at $1300 for the Fireface 800, and another $200 per speaker. This is not cheap, is not meant for gaming, and is not consumer grade equipment. It's pro audio, designed for Logic 8 and similar.
    Even if you did spend the money, trust me, I'd know... I have a 5.1 setup running through an Apogee Ensemble (a $2000 "soundcard"), and I do not get 5.1 support from Quake 4, C&C 3, or any other game. I only get 5.1 surround from my audio production in Logic 8.
    To recap, since this has been asked many times- and I don't want you wasting your money here (just trying to be helpful!)...
    *There is no simple or cost-efficient way to get 5.1 from your Mac, other then while playing a DVD movie.*
    I would highly recommend that you buy a very good pair of 2.1 speakers with a Sub woofer. Maybe even a pair that takes an optical input for audio. If you really want to spend the money to *watch a DVD in surround sound,* then you can... And it'll work wonderfully, but gaming will not give you surround sound at all.
    *Again- There are no games out that support 5.1. Just because you technically support Dolby 5.1, doesn't mean the applications are aware of it and can utilize the 5.1 surround.*
    Edit: I may have neglected to also mention that the Firewave unit will support 5.1 properly through 3 separate plugs (much like a PC soundcard does), however the only game I am aware of that supports this is Unreal Tournament 2003 for Mac (or was it 04?), with an experimental patch for 5.1 via OpenAL. Last I heard, it worked okay, but crashed occasionally.
    Most of the other games out there just don't support 5.1, period (probably due to the lack of hardware on the Mac computers from the factory).

  • Why doesn't my incoming mail sound work

    I am using Mail 3.3 and in the preferences I have a "new mail" sound .wav file in the general tab
    and the box is checked for the "play sounds for other mail actions". The "other mail actions" sounds are working, and when I recheck the .wav sound it plays fine in the sample mode. However, the sound doesn't play in regular receive mail mode. Anybody have a suggestion?

    This problem has been had since Tiger came out, there are so many posts about this, the one above is 5 pages long.
    I posted this post below on the 15th September 2007 -
    +At Least I Am Not The Only One+
    +It was good to hear the same problem I've had for ever.+
    +I was listening to Leo LaPorte's radio podcast and a lady rang in said her few months old iMac would only play the email arrive sound occasionally. She rang Apple but they couldn't fix the problem, so she rang Leo.+
    +At least I'm not the only one and Leo did not know how to fix it either, except to say to check System Preferences/Sound, and I know this makes no difference.+
    +I just hope Apple were listening and fix Mail some day.+
    I have asked here several times and on other forums and also reported to Apple, I have tried so many different ways to fix the problem including full format erase and new install, but all to no avail.
    Thunderbird works perfectly and will play any sound format, why not Apple Mail.
    I first thought Leopard would fix this, then the 10.5.5, but no.
    So disappointing.

  • 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.

  • No incoming mail sound

    10.5.6 always had an incoming mail sound, and since updating to 10.5.7 no sound. The preferences still show the sound. What gives?

    Bruce,
    Not sure about Mail Badger, but even in 10.5.6, the use of IDLE, at least with MobileMe, was known to inhibit the New Mail Alert -- this allows push mail, but impacts the sound.

  • 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.

  • Can we display only email address on the sender when receive external incoming mails

    Hello ALL Experts,
    Organization want to see only email addresses in the FROM field when receive External incoming emails from Any domains.
    I know for Sending emails out to the External domain we can control it in exchange with the help of Use Simple Display Name attribute.
    So want the same to the managed for external incoming emails as well, if possible with the help of Transport rule or some custom scripts
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Based on my knowledge, we can use simple display name as an external display name for outgoing messages, but I'm afraid there is no way to do this for incoming mails.
    Best regards,

  • What is the best way to send auto mail with excel(generated by query) attachment?

    Hello,
    Need to generate first data from stored procedure and the save it to an excel file and then send mail with the same excel file.
    So am searching for the best way so that i could do all process in a single task with daily or monthly schedule.
    As per my understanding, we could it via SSIS and by sql server using
    sp_send_dbmail.
    But i have to generate excel file first by stored procedure and then end it by mail.
    So please suggest the best way to accomplish all task in a single task.
    Thanks
    Ajay 

    Hi Ajay,
    As shown in the blog mentioned by Syed, to delete records from the Excel file, you need to use Update OpenRowset command to update the corresponding rows to blank.
    Alternatively, you can also use Derived Column Transformation or Conditional Split Transformation after the OLE DB Source so that you can replace the target rows with NULL before exporting to Excel destination or just redirect the expected records to the
    Excel destination.
    Then, in the Control Flow, you can add a Send Mail Task to send the Excel file by setting it as the attachment. The following screenshot is for your reference:

  • Most of the time Thunderbird only opens incoming mail with a double click in a new window which I find infuriating so is there a workaround or a fix for this?

    When Thunderbird starts, it opens incoming mail into the lower panel with a single click. But after an hour or two this no longer works and i have to double click to open the message which goes into a new window.

    sounds like a bad add-on to me. Restart holding the shift key and see if the issue arises again.
    </blockquote>
    Thanks for your response, Matt. I have now run for a fortnight without having to double click to see a new message. All add-ons are disabled and the trick will be to eliminate them one by one till I find the culprit.

  • Suddenly the only way to read my mail (Gmail account) is by pressing "reply" or "forward". With my other account I can simply open new mail and read it. How come?

    This happened when I restarted my computer. I did not update Firefox. The other way of reading mail is to open it via "message carbled"
    I have an Apple MacBook Pro.

    Possibly ...
    ''GMail entire message content missing (blank) after header title''
    In Firefox, if you have "Adblock Plus" extension.
    # "Ctrl+Shift+F" Preferences (or right click on ADP symbol, and choose preferences)
    # 'Filters' menu > "'''Update all subscriptions'''"

  • What's the best way to sync video and sound?

    If I'm going to make a music video with performance shots (lip-syncing) interspersed with story-line shots, what's the best way to line them up. I mean, I start with some video shot from a car while the song is playing, then transition to a shot of me singing. Say I get the singing clip lined up perfect, then when I add the transition, isn't that going to mess with the timing? And of course, I'll be doing this multiple times throughout the video. Say I get the first one right, then add some more storyline video and another performance clip and I lock that (second) clip to the audio. Isn't that going to shift my first performance clip when I add a transition? Am I making sense?

    First look at all your material ..'review' it.
    As you say so rightly: "..then when I add the transition, isn't that going to mess with the timing?.." ..yes; but only if you haven't allowed for the length of each transition when you first line up your clips.
    So watch your footage, think where you want to cut it, and then immediately think "what kind of transition there, and for how long?" ..Imagine it, in your head, so if you think "that would work best with a quick two-thirds of a second dissolve" jot down that you want to leave an extra two-thirds of a second at the start of the clip which you want to transition into.
    In the US of A, at 30 frames per second of NTSC video, two-thirds of a second is 20 frames. (..The frame counter gets up to 0:29 and then changes to 1:00, because the 30th frame changes it over to the next second..)
    In Europe the frame rate is 25 per second - so after 0:24 comes 1:00 - so two-thirds of a second is about 0:16.
    So when you start to cut your video clips, if you're going to have a two-thirds of a second dissolve between your first two, you'll need to leave an extra 20 (NTSC) or 16 (PAL) frames at the start of your second clip, before the action you want begins onscreen, so that those frames will be "eaten away" in the dissolve between the end of the previous clip and the start of the clip which follows it.
    If you definitely want to see the last few frames of "lip-sync" - for some reason - of the first (outgoing) clip, then leave the extra frames on the end of that clip, instead of at the start of the following clip, but it usually works best to ensure that the follow-on clip starts with those extra "sacrificial" frames.
    If you want to use any embedded audio that's in the video clips - and you're not simply matching up the video to external sound (..such as an iTunes track or your own material which you're pre-recorded..) then be sure to Extract the audio from your clips as soon as you've cut them, and before you apply any transitions. This keeps their audio safely "marooned" on an audio track, where you can edit it separately, and then match it to the edited video.
    So prepare all your video first, and cut it to have excess "tops and tails" which you can eat away during the transitions. (The only transition which doesn't eat away material is iMovie's "Overlap", which freezes the outgoing clip, and dissolves the incoming clip into that freeze-frame. But that - in my opinion -doesn't look to good with music videos, because it freezes the flow of the video, and makes it seem too pointlessly 'jerky'.)
