10.3: Change Mail.app notification sounds
Nov 02, '03 06:04:00PM • Contributed by: GerryA
I dislike the new 'no mail' sound in the version of Mail that ships with Panther ... so ... I found a sound I liked, called it No Mail.aiff, and replaced the existing file with that name inside the Resources folder within the Mail.app package (control-click on the Mail program and select "Show Package Contents." In the new window that opens, navigate into Contents then Resources). The other mail sounds in there are: New Mail.aiff, Mail Sent.aiff, and Mail Fetch Error.aiff.
[robg adds: Two things to note -- first, make a backup of Mail before you start, just in case you mess up somehow. Second, future Apple updates may very well write over your customized sounds, so keep the master copies around to re-apply in the (likely) event this happens.]
