I suppose it would be unlikely that you could convince them that
interrupting their work for every email that comes in is totally ridiculous
in the first place and that a much better way to manage their time
effectively would be to turn off the annoying chime entirely, possibly even
exit the mail client, and then deal with email on a scheduled basis, such as
once in the morning and once in the afternoon or every hour on the hour...

Here's a cute little article along those lines:

(sorry, no practical solutions, I don't know any of the MS email clients at
all...  it's *possible* it's a server-side issue tickling a client-side
issue, though...)
