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 ...

Using Sound Effectively
I would like to do something with a sound wav file for TB notification of new mail but I can't figure out how to do it. Most of the emails that I get are filtered into different folders. I would like to play a wav file if any new email ends up in the Inbox-Known folder. I don't see a way to do that. In addition (and I think this is not possible), I would like a sound notification whenever I end up with new email that is left in the inbox folder (after all filters are run). I suspect the solution to this latter problem would be to set up a filter at the end of all filter list that would move any remaining email to a specifically designated folder. Then, of course, I modify that last filter to play a sound. -- Joe Berry [EMAIL PROTECTED] AIM joe topshot Yahoo Msgr joetopshot Jabber [EMAIL PROTECTED] Baltimore, MD Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Then, of course, I modify that last filter to JB play a sound. I was working with sounds for folders a while ago. The way I got TB! to play sounds when things arrived in certain folders is by adding sounds to each individual folder. For personal folders, right click and select properties. There will then be a sound tab where you can chose your personal sound. I'm not sure about the Inbox-Known, as I don't use it. As for the inbox, I set this sound by going into account properties settings and then sound again. When messages are filtered, the folder sound will trigger at the end for all messages rather than each individual as will happen if you add sounds to the filter. Hope that helps, but give it a try!
