Sound when mail arrives?

When push mail arrives, a dialog pops up telling me mail arrived with a dismiss button. But there is no sound alert.
In Settings > Sounds > Ring the "New Mail" toggle is ON.
Is there anything else I need to do?
Thanks,
doug

I get a ding when new mail arrives and I'm already in Mail - and that is easy to hear.
I meant getting a sound alert when the popup "you have mail" dialog appears when you are outside of mail.
You are correct that Gmail doesn't appear to push. What was happening is that Mail on the iPhone automatically checks for new mail when you enter mail. Since I manually check for email on my Mac, I was confusing that behavior for push.
However, the Email(i) account received from my cell phone provider, Softbank here in Japan (the [email protected] that I mentioned in another thread) does push an alert about newly arrived mail and that is the popup dialog I was seeing.
But that message, unfortunately, apparently has no sound alert associated with it.

    Have you checked all the volume settings?  Look under sounds.  You also might want to try doing a soft reset.

    Same problem I just realized I had. using IMAP mobileme server. No new mail sound. All other sounds work fine. Obviously a problem on Apple's end in the way the new mobile me/imap & Mail app work.

  • C3-01: Turn off *PLING!* when mail arrive?

    Hi.
    My new C3-01 is driving me insane. Every time a mail arrives, it goes *PLING!*.
    It is only quiet, when I choose the silent mode. But I like the normal sound-mode (argh! the phones language is set to Danish). I've unchecked all sounds but incoming calls, but still the *PLING!* goes on.
    Can anyone help?
    Thx!

    How to get the swoosh sound back when mail gets sent?

  • Sound when email arrives

    How do I get my iphone 5 to make a discrete sound when an email arrives when I am listening to music with earphones? At the moment it vibrates but that is not always enough when it is in my coat pocket.

  • Special sound when emails arrives on a particular account/mailbox

    Hi,
    I have a email account where I'm receiving URGENT alarms.
    So, I'd need two things :
    1) To check this IMAP box more frequently than every 15mins
    2) I need to change the alarm-sound for this particular box
    Could somebody here suggest these type of things to developpers ?

    Ok, so, something in way of an update: Normal behaviour appears to be restored after Mail detects a piece of junk mail and puts it in the junk folder for this account (manual marking of junk doesn't do the trick). Then it works ok until I quit Mail.

  • How can I disable sorting in a folder? When mail arrived or move to a folder, I want that mail to show on top.

    This is mainly for my trash folder. Sometime when I accidentally deleted an email, going back to the trash folder to looking for it gives me headache. If it is on top, I know where to find it. Thanks.

    So you want the last thing that you placed in the trash to be on top no matter how new or old the message is? I am not sure how this could be done. Every window sorts on something. Maybe someone else will have a work around.
    If you notice right away you can select Edit-Undo from the menu bar or use the shortcut control+z. This will undo the last action. If you do something else before you notice it then this does not work.

  • Cannot get a sound when email arrives in mountain lion

  • I can't turn off sound alerts for mail arrival

    I have Mail in Lion configured to not play a sound when mail arrives. However, recently a sound started playing. It's still turned off in the config. I suspect a bug in a recent update to Lion. Has anyone else noticed this?

    No wonder nobody else had this problem. It wasn't until I turned the sound off on my Macbook Pro and still heard the sound announcing an arrival of an email that I twigged.  I realised that I had Mail open on my Mini to which I have speakers connected.  Normally I don't have Mail running on my Mini; hence my confusion.
    D'oh!

  • No Sound When New E-Mail Arrives in Mail

    I would like to hear a sound when a new e-mail arrives in my Mail's Inbox but I could not make it work. In Preferences, under General -> New messages sound, I selected New messages sound. When I selected it, I heard the sample beep. However, no sound comes out of the speakers when new mail arrives. Am I missing something or doing something wrong here? Thank you.

    There's some sort of problem but I do not know if this is a bug in OS X or a bug in Mail or a peculiarity in the way the IDLE feature works, but for some people if it's enable some or all of Mail's sounds do not work. I puzzled over this for a long time until someone told me about the problem with IDLE. I've passed it on to others who are just as bemused about why turning off IDLE fixes the problem. The problem has been reported to Apple, and one day it may get fixed. So basically I can't give you the reason.

  • New mail doesn't make the "new mail sound" when received

    Hi! I have a .mac email account, and I use two different aliases for the account. I want all the mail sent to one of the aliases to go into a designated mailbox. I've tried doing this with both a smart mailbox and using a rule to move the messages to a mailbox on my .mac account (not both at the same time, I've tried it separately both ways).
    Both of these options work, except that mail will not make the "new mail" sound when I get a new email for that mailbox. Even when I add to the rule that it should make a sound, it doesn't. Other mail (i.e., all of my other mail that is delivered normally to my inbox) is not affected--I still get the normal sound. Any ideas? Thanks! (And BTW, I always give points for helpful answers!)

    You’re welcome.
    Actually, I don’t participate here just to be helpful. I also do it to learn. I know WAY more about Mail now than I knew when I started helping people here... and without having experienced myself any of the problems I troubleshoot each and every day...
    I really wanted an answer.
    That’s precisely why you shouldn’t say in advance that you’ll give points. Nobody is going to assume you won’t, so there is no need to say you will. All you have to do is mark posts when appropriate (without saying in advance that you will). That makes everybody happy.
    don't you ever get frustrated by the number of people who don't
    mark helpful or solved answers as such?
    Not if the OP somehow lets me know whether the proposed solution worked or not. Sometimes I know for sure what the problem is and how to solve it, but others I don’t, and the user’s feedback is way more valuable to me than any points I could get.
    So yes, merely setting up a smart mailbox is enough to make Mail
    to quit making the sound.
    I’ve been unable to reproduce what you describe, but I’ve found something that could be related. Selecting an IMAP (or .Mac) mailbox causes Mail to check for changes made to that mailbox, including checking for new mail and applying rules as appropriate, just like it would do when automatically checking for mail according to your settings, except no sound is played if new mail arrived...
    Could that be what you’re observing, i.e. could it be that Mail is actually behaving as expected but it seems that it isn’t because you’re checking for new mail as a result of manually selecting the account’s Inbox or something like that?

  • Since ios7 i no longer hear the sound when i send mail

    I no longer hear any sound when I send mail. It worked perfectly before upgrading to IOS7 (swoosh)

    (A) Reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    (B) Make sure sound is not muted in Control Center; tap on the little bell. Swipe upwards from bottom of screen to launch Control Center
