Does anyone know how to put in a custom sound notification for incoming mail? I couldn't find anything in the preferences.

Thanks

Control Panel | Sounds ??

I have XP control panel in "classic view" though, cause I could never find anything in the other one...

HTH

Did you try going to Control Panel\Sound and changing the "New Mail Notification" sound? In XP, go to "Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices" then click "Change the sound scheme." In other Windows versions, it's similar, but I don't remember the exact way. As far as I know, any .wav file will work for the incoming sound.

Oh, sorry. I wasn't aware that Entourage was for Windows as well. I'm using a mac.

Oh Mac. Then NFI - sorry

Microsoft say: 1. On the Edit menu, point to Preferences, and then click General.
2. Click the Notification tab. In the Sounds dialog box, click the Sound Set list, and then click either Default, Random, or Microsoft Sound Set.
3. Click OK.
