The sound for Mail is handled under Mail > Settings > General > New Message Sound. The Notification settings at  > Notifications > Mail is used to select the type of Notification and when you want it. Not sure why it appears there if you create a new user before a Mail account is created, but you will have to adjust the sound in Mail settings.


Is there an issue with the sound not playing when you get a new message notification?
