I have been running some tests with the OP (Jon Kuo). I set up a
simple rule that looked for his email address in the from and then
sounded the Sosumi sound, since nothing else is using that sound on
my system and it is distinctive.
Jon has sent me several emails. The first one sounded just fine
right when it showed up in the INBOX (I am using IMAP with a Courier
IMAP server, probably old ancient version). However, later ones
only sounded when I sent a reply!!!! or 3-10 minutes after the
email showed up in the INBOX. Once after I had already read it but
not replied (8-9 minutes later), and once before I had read it at
all (about 3min later)
I have not programmed the OS X sound system but am guessing the bug
is in there somewhere. Just a WAG that it gets submitted but not
played immediately.
Here's a suggestion: I use zero spam-filtering software (other than
the Mail rules). Do you guys who see the sound failure happen to be
running any add-on packages like Spam Sieve or equivalent? Or any
other add-on packages to Mail?
