10.5: Avoid Mail's 'no sound for new messages' bug
Authored by: scotty321 on May 11, '10 03:50:39PM

Another solution would be to install the <a href="http://growlinfo.com">GrowlMail plug-in</a>, which lets you set visual and audio notifications when new mail comes in, regardless of whether the new mail came in as a result of being "pulled in" by Mail or being "pushed in" by the IMAP Server through the IDLE command.

Then, you could turn off the new mail sound in Mail's preferences and just let Growl handle the audio notifications.

If you want Growl to use the exact same "New Mail Sound" that Mail uses, you'll need to make a copy of the "New Mail.aiff" file from Apple Mail (right-click on Apple Mail, choose "Show Package Contents", then go into the Resources folder), and place a copy of that "New Mail.aiff" file into your ~/Library/Sounds folder.
