Thumping sound when I get new mail

I get a thumping sound when I get new mail. How do I turn it off?
In mail preferences I selected none for new mail sound. And unchecked the Play sounds for other mail actions.

The thumping sound you hear is probably your computer's default "alert" sound that plays when you click something that really can't be clicked or try to make something happen that the computer can't do. It informs you with a little "alert" sound. So, when you get your mail, your computer is automatically doing something that generates an alert. Not sure what that can be. Perhaps checking mail on a second account that is set up incorrectly?
To see if the thump sound is indeed your computers alert sound, go into System Preferences and check on sound and choose your alert sound there.

  • My phone doesnt notify me when i get new mail

    For some reason my phone doesn't notify me when I get a new email with a ding sound like it used to 3 weeks ago, now I have to open the mail app wait for it to load and download all my new emails and then it makes the ding sound. I dont know why this has happened I didnt change anything in settings everything is still the same as it was 3 weeks ago. Push is ON then underneath that fetch it on hourly and in advance my icloud email and yahoo are both on push. And when I send an email to someone else I recieve the email I just sent and the other person recieves it aswell I dont know why it sends me a copy of the email I just sent. If anyone know anything on how to fix this problem please let me know.

    you said you have checked your notifications, just in case

  • Bouncing dock icon when I get New Mail??

    Is it possible to have the Mail icon in my dock to bounce up and down to alert me that new mail has arrived? I prefer to use dock hiding setting, and so it would be nice to see at quick glance if new mail has arrived when I return to my desk.
    This feature is available for Microsoft Entourage for Mac, but how about for Mail?

    You could set up a rule as follows:
    If {any/all} of the following conditions are met:
    {Every Message}
    Perform the following actions:
    {Bounce Icon in Dock}
    Such a rule would have a couple of drawbacks, though.
    One is that, once Mail starts bouncing, the only way to stop it is by making Mail the active application. It may seem no big deal... until you realize that it happens even if Mail is already the active application...
    Another problem is that, because the junk filter is evaluated after all the other rules, Mail will bounce in the Dock for newly arrived junk mail as well...

  • Help!! My galaxy s3 stopped making a sound when I get e-mails,texts.etc..

    When I first got my phone about  3 months ago everything worked fine. Now the notification  sound stopped working, I have checked and it is still on in the settings. Also, when people text, message, or leave a voice mail I don't get the notification for hours sometimes not until the next day. When I call someone they tell me that on the Caller ID it shows an out of state number that is not mine? I have taken it back to the store and they can't get it to work either. They told me to do a factory reset, but I needed to make sure I had saved to my SDcard. I really don't want to do a reset if possible, does anyone have any suggestions??
    Thanks

    Do the basic troubleshooting steps described in the User Guide, Appendix B:
    Restart phone
    Reset phone
    Restore in iTunes using a backup
    Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup
    If restoring as new doesn't help, there is a hardware problem that needs evaluation by Apple or whoever provides iPhone warranty service in your country.

    See:

  • Is there a way to make Mailbox automatically update as soon as you get new mail?

    I just got an iPhone 4, and I noticed that my mailbox only updates when I open it, even if I received new mail since I last checked. Is there a way to make it automatically update when I get new mail in my inbox? There's sort of no point to alerting me when I get new mail if I'm already in the inbox.
    I dunno if it matters, but my mail box is synced to a gmail account.
    I also don't really know what my operating system is, but I guess it's iOS 6 since it's a new phone? I don't know how to check.

    It depends on how you have mail checking your mail. You mention that you have a Gmail account. Did you set this up as an Exchange account to use Push? If you have mail set to only check manually, then that is what will happen, it will only update manually. If you have it set to one of the other time settings, it will update like that, as that will be the only time it will connect to the mail server, even with the application open.

  • I have a gmail account set up on my macbook pro. One mail I sent with photos continues to repeatedly downloaded in Recovery. At the same time my Gmail won't download new emails into Inbox when I press Get New Mail. Help

    I have a gmail account set up on my mac. A few days ago I sent an email with photos in it and this email now is continuosly being recovered. In the meantime my inbox has stopped downloading new messages, even when i press Get New Mail. How can I stop the repeated recovery of the email and how can I get my inbox to download again?

    OK, I persevered and used the Rebuild mailbox option on Mail, actually had to do it twice, but now when I boot up and Mail opens all the previously received iCloud messages I've read on iPhone/iPad are pushed through.
    Back to normal...

  • 700p suddenly gives invalid user/password message when trying to get new mail

    My Yahoo Mail Plus account is working fine. When I use versamail on the Palm Treo 700p to retrieve emails from my active Yahoo account, I get "-ERR(Auth)invalid user/password" message. I can access my Yahoo Mail account from the "Web" app on my treo.
    So it is definitely a VersaMail issue. This happened after it had been getting new mail (and sending) successfully.
    Can anyone help? 
    Post relates to: Treo 700p (Verizon)

    unfortunately Yahoo and their Branded contracts just don't work as advertised and neither the ISPs Nor Yahoo appear in the slightest bit interested.
    If you delete the popstate.dat file in the profile folder in the yahoo server directory, it will restart the download again from the top (Everything)
    You might also find that disabling email scanning in your anti virus program may be beneficial. (Could it be McAfee?)
    The majority of RETR complaints here are from ATT and BT users, both of whom get McAfee given in by their ISP.

  • For iPhone 4s, how do I change the sound when I get a new email?

    I have attempted to change the alert for new emails in Settings, under Sounds and Vibration Patterns, New Mail.   When I choose a new alert sound, it selects it and displays it next to New Mail.   However when I receive a new email, the old sound (Tri tone) plays though it is not selected.   Suggestions?

    Go into Notifications, Mail, check each of your mail accounts and see what sound is set there. You can set an individual sound for each account. While they should have picked up the default in Sounds, it is possible you need to change it in each of your accounts.
    See if this helps.

  • Mail app crashes when getting new mail

    Seems like it crashes while getting new mail. I had 'letterbox' plugin installed, thought that may be the problem, uninstalled it, but mail.app keeps crashing immediately after starting (while checking for mail). Any suggestions what the problem could be? Thanks!
    I can paste the error report if that helps (probably not sure if that contains secure information that's better not shared with the world).

  • "Include when checking for new mail" option not working

    Hi,
    I have 2 email accounts set up on mail, but I only want 1 of them to pull down mail (the other will only be used for sending). For the account I don't want to get mail I deselect the box "include when checking for new mail".
    However, Mail still pulls down messages from that account. When I put in the correct server settings for the incoming, it pulls all of my mail (in this case gmail), and when I put in bad settings (as a way of avoiding getting the mail) I get an annoying error message.
    Does anyone know of a way to make that function of Mail work?

    Hi feuerstein.
    How have you set up the Gmail account in Mail (POP, IMAP), and under which circumstances does Mail check for new mail on that account? More info, please.
    BTW, Mail doesn’t automatically check when launched every account if Include when automatically checking for new mail has been turned OFF. That happens with IMAP accounts only (and only if they’re “online”), not with POP accounts, but it isn’t clear at all whether that’s what you’re talking about...
