Thanks to the folks who suggested this approach. Unfortunately it has some difficulties, for the situation I am describing. One is that I receive many messages at once. If I have not picked up mail for awhile -- part of a day -- it could be several hundred messages. Imagine having lots of different sounds going off and then trying to figure out which folder to go to. The second is that the use I described is that I have, perhaps, 100-200 folders. Imagine trying to distinguish all those sounds. Although some folders are always important, others vary. They are important one day and not important the next. Hence I cannot simply have sounds for the 'important' folders, but no sounds for the rest. The third is that the style of use I described has me bouncing from one folder to another, with no consistent pattern. Hence, I need to be able to sit back and look at the full range of folders (in the Accounts Pane) and see which ones have New messages. Playing sounds does not permit this kind of repeated review. d/ -- Dave Crocker <mailto:dhc2@;dcrocker.net> TribalWise <http://www.tribalwise.com> ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
