Not really. You are just the victim of bad user interface design.
MailMate allows you to configure 4 counters, one for each corner of
the dock icon. This is what is illustrated by the four dots in the
left side of the Counters preferences pane. You simply need to find
the counter with the ?Glass? sound and then change it to ?None?.
Originally, the Counters interface was a quick temporary solution. I
still plan to change how this works, but it is not yet a high
priority. I'll see if I can change the wording used below the dots to
be less ambiguous.
Ah, I see how it works now. I had assumed the settings in the right
side
of that preferences panel were independent of the positioning settings
on the left side. I see now that they are per position setting. I've
found the elusive "glass" notification and disabled it.
Wow, I just realized how completely I was misunderstanding this
preference. Thanks for this (very old) thread!
Note that MailMate also has a slot in the System pref pane
“Notifications”, which seems to be ignored. That’s where I first
went to turn the sound off.
