How to Change the New Mail Sound for Gmail!

Do you want to make sure you don't miss any messages arriving in your Gmail account? Or do you just like the slick sheet that Gmail Notifier pops up when new mail arrives?

Anyway, here's how to add audible notification for your Gmail account or change the tune that's played.

Change the New Mail Sound for Gmail

To change the new mail sound in Gmail:

• Select Control Panel from the Windows Start menu.
• Choose Sounds and Audio Devices.
  • If you can't see this item, click Switch to Classic View in the left pane.
• Go to the Sounds tab.
• Select the desired sound for New Mail Notification.
  • To disable audio notification, choose (none).
• Click OK.

Since Gmail Notifier uses the default windows new mail event notification, the sound you choose for Gmail is also what you will hear when new mail arrives in Outlook Express or Outlook, for example.
