Hi guys, after I couldn't make this work, here's my dirty workaround for the problem:
* Somewhere in your home directory (for me it's ~/Programs/) create a new file, for example: touch play_email_sound * Edit the file with your favourite editor and put this in (replace the path of course): #! /bin/bash aplay /full/path/to/soundfile.wav * Make the script executable: chmod a+x play_email_sound * Go to Evolution, create a new incoming mail rule, for example "Sound" - The criteria should be something like "fits all" (don't know what the English version will say), unless you want it to play sounds only for specific accounts or senders - The action for the rule should be "Run program" and pick your newly created script from the list (there's also a "Play sound" action, but since the Evolution one doesn't play, this one didn't work for me either) - Save the rule and put it on the very top of the rule list * Send a message to yourself and grab a beer until it comes in Cheers, Wojtek -- Evolution Mail Notification has no sound https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292585 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
