I don't see a way to do that. TF Unfortunately, you can do this only with a work-around. Don't use the TF Known filter, but create one manually that sends the mail to your TF Known folder and plays the soound. PM I guess it works the other way around, as I found no option to filter on PM address books when creating a new filter. I created a Known folder which PM allows me to select sound, and pointed the existing Known filter to it PM instead of the default Inbox-Known. So keep the filter, but create a new PM destination folder. :-) I tried following your advice but came up with a new problem. I hadn't realized that my sound file would be played for each and every email coming into that folder (duh!). It sounds awful when a half dozen emails get moved into the folder as it doesn't execute the sound file based on my pressing the get new mail button but rather based on items being moved into the folder.

Re: Re[2]: Using Sound Effectively
Joe I tried following your advice but came up with a new problem. I hadn't realized that my sound file would be played for each and every email coming into that folder (duh!). It sounds awful when a half dozen emails get moved into the folder as it doesn't execute the sound file based on my pressing the get new mail button but rather based on items being moved into the folder. You might want to try this: free utility Mailcall 2 (from PCMag) at: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,4149,353,00.asp It can be used to pre-scan mail while its still on the server and allows you to configure filters with a different WAV file played for each filter satisfied. If you make a couple of recordings you can have (forinstance): Personal mail for Alec - has Alec or Burgess in it Bounceback mail from Yahoo - from my address but to: any Yahoo-group Regular mail - everything else. You can also choose to have a pop-up showing headers and allowing viewing of details and headers only for certain classes of mail. All this gets done before TBat downloads mail from the server. Just make sure MailCall runs more frequently than TBat. It also displays a count of new mail received in the systray icon. Basic scheme: let Mailcall do a prelimanary analysis playing a sound as requested, then let TBat do the heavy lifting of executing any more detailed filtering. Regards ...
