[MlMt] Silencing the beep when mail is checked
Greetings. I really dislike the frog-beep when MailMate checks my mail, and it disturbs those around me. I have already selected "None" for "Sound" in Preferences -> Counters, but I still hear the beep. Clues? --Paul Hoffman ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com http://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

There are 4 independent sets of settings there: one for each corner of the Dock icon a counter can appear in. Each has its own Sound option. You select which Counter you are dealing with by the unlabeled square of radio buttons on the left side, so even if a Counter isn't set to show on the dock icon, it is identified by where it would be if it was. ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com http://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

Hmm, mine's set to Glass, but I've unchecked Notifications on that screen. To avoid disturbing my neighbours (and of course my own peace and quiet) I have all OS X alerts disabled via System Preferences -> Sound -> Sound Effects. Alert Volume slider all the way to the left and the 2 checkboxes beneath unchecked. Is this suitable for you? ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com http://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

One for Benny: Is it possible to put your own custom sounds into MailMate? I've got a 'silence.aif' file here which I created for someone to use as a ringtone for unwanted calls on his iPhone.

In the Mailbox drop down menu (in the menu bar at the top of the screen), what do you see for Synchronization Schedule? I'm curious because you're saying you get an alert sound every 5-10 minutes, and those are choices for this parameter. Mine says Connected, which I presume means using the IMAP Idle function to get new mail. You have to look with input focus on the Viewer Window to see which option is checked. ビリー ヨーデルマん +1 310 839 7673 http://MIX.ORG/ ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com http://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

Re: [MlMt] Sync Problems with IMAP Server
Thanks Allie, That was the issue. MailMate caching the messages. After leaving MailMate alone for a day or so (I am on the end of a slow connection) MailMate is now working as I expected, with none of the spinning pinwheel behaviour. I'll give it another couple of days then upgrade from Trial to Buy. Thanks for the responses.
