[SoCoSA/discuss] OE6 - chimes on *check*?

[Trevor Benson]

May not help at all, but I would start by checking control panel/sounds.
See if some custom scheme has been added, there is a spot for new mail
sound but I don't see anything specific for checking mail.

My biggest guess is the check operation is covered by one of the other
default sounds, but just not explained well that the check action
coincides.  When this happens I usually have to peruse the list playing
them until I find the matching sound, and change it before checking for
mail.  There are a couple in the sound system that are like this, they
relate to actions but there is no clear explanation as to what the
correlation is (or at least until you find it).
