Starting with, I think, the latest update of Thunderbird, it beeps when it shows me a new message. I do NOT like my computer pestering me with noises.

I went into Settings and turned off "Play a Sound" as shown in the attached screenshot. (Why it got turned on -- apparently as part of an update -- mystifies me.)

So why is Thunderbird still beeping at me?

Thanks in advance for advice anyone can offer on how to make it shut up. [g]
