When an email
arrives in your mailbox, you probably want to know right away. Most
people find it convenient to simply use the default audio alert
for email notification. The default sound is a short .wav audio
file, which can be changed to any .wav file of your choice. If you
don't already have something you would like to use, free .wav files
are available online. Just google ".wav files", and you'll
find a bunch.
The audio file you choose can be located anywhere on your hard disk,
or on any network your computer is always able to access. If you
move the audio file from the current location, or if the file is
not accessible, the sound will not play when new mail arrives.
