I no longer get an audible sound with my new mail alerts like I used to and I can't find the setting for this. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

Using the webmail notifier:
Click on the webmail notifier icon and click settings.
There is a tickbox "Play sound when message arrives" on the general tab.

For built-in email client:
Open the email application. Go to the menu, under Tools, Settings.
On the "Updating" tab, scroll to the bottom for the "Play sound when message arrives" tickbox.

For claws-mail application:
Go to Configuration, Preferences. Click the Mail Handling, Receiving section, scroll down for the "Play sound" tickbox.

Is there a way to change the sound for the webmail notifier, the default sound does not get my attention.

use emelfm2, go to /usr/share/sounds/ and replace the ui-new_email.wav , with whatever wav file you want...personally, i use the "pow" from the old yahoo messenger sounds, gets my attention even in another room. if youd like the .wav, just pm me and i can email it to ya. All other system sounds are located in this folder as well... i use a clip of the imperial march from star wars as my startup sound.

I have emelfm2 opened, two panels displayed, left panel showing the old ui-new_email.wav sound file and the right panel showing my new ui-new_email.wav in a different folder. I tryed to just drag the new file over to the left panel but the old file remains the same. Is the old file somehow protected? How can I do a copy and paste? Also, with this file manager can I somehow play the wave files? Thanks

sorry , my fault... you have to go into xterm, type sudo gainroot (assuming you have easyroot installed), then type emelfm2, this will launch emelfm2 with root priveleges and then make sure you have the big "H" icon taped in the corner so theres a red line through it then navigete to the folder and drag your file into where it belongs. It will pop up a confirmation dialog asking if you want to overwrite the older one, click yes , then you are all set.
