Even the 'Test'-Button produces no sound nor a beep.My OS is SuSE-linux 8.1 and is running in non-root-mode. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
WFM - its beeping here, current trunk CVS, Linux. What are your settings for sounds in preferences? (Edit->Preferences->Mail & Newsgroups->Notifications) And where do you find that "Test" button..
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030327 Hasn't worked here for the last 3 or 4 days. I don't use sound so I can't comment on that but the visual notification is not working OS should be All
Hmmm, seems it works when Moz automatically checks for new mail (whether it automatically d/ls it or not) but it doesn't when you click Get Msgs
There appears to be a timer/timeout involved here. If I go offline for a while, then go back online and click Get Msgs I get notification the first time but not subsequently (until I go off then online again). I'll try and devise a reproducible scenario but in the meantime if anyone has any ideas/suggestions.....
I just installed: mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-1.4rc1-sea.tar.gz New mail sound does not quite work for me either. I configured a custom sound but keep hearing the ugly keyboard bell, whether a new mail arrived or I pressed the preview button.
I am also getting the same problem. Any workaround is there? I tried installing new. Renamed prefs.js file and did a new configuration, even then I did not get the mail notification sound.
This looks related to bug 177280 (fixed as of June 3).
