Sound for Incoming Mail
Not a huge problem, but VERY FRUSTRATING! After years of reliable performance, my personalized incoming mail notification sound (wav format) suddenly stopped playing. The 'test' function in settings works fine, but NOTHING happens when actually downloading messages. I've tried EVERY possible FIX, but NO LUCK. Any suggestions? Thanks

have you tried one of the default sounds?
I just downloaded this file https://free-loops.com/3256-youve-got-mail.html set it to be used for getting mail and clicked play. Does either of your file, or the one at the link, work when you click play in settings?
I am just trying to narrow down the possibilities here.
Thanks for your response. Yes, I've tried the default sound, as well as .wav files from my own collection. For years, ANY SOUND I selected would reliably play with incoming mail. Suddenly, NOTHING will play when new mail arrives. However, the 'test' function in settings works fine.
I even uninstalled Thunderbird - and reinstalled it. Amazingly, that made no difference!
