How do I get sound notification when an email arrives.
When MSN messenger got taken away, I lost the sound I would get when an email arrived in my inbox. How do I get a sound now?

What program are you using now for email?
Mozilla Thunderbird lets you have a new mail notification sound - see https://support.mozillamessaging.com/kb/how-customize-new-mail-sound

hi Alice, firefox.
Firefox isn't a mail program. Are you using webmail?
oh. hotmail through firefox
Sorry, I don't know anything about hotmail and it's not one of the webmail programs that you can set up to open email links in Firefox (ref: Change the program used to open email links). It looks like you are asking about something unrelated to Mozilla.
I did a google search and found this, which seems to indicate that you must be using Windows Live Mail with hotmail to get a notification sound:
If no one here has better answer for you, you could also try the hotmail forum: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/forum/hotmail
ok thank you.
One thing more, I just thought of, you could look for a Firefox add-on. I found this one, for example, but it doesn't say that it gives you a new mail sound:
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/xnotifier/
X-notifier (for Gmail,Hotmail,Yahoo,AOL ...)]
thank you. I downloaded it, so I will let you know if it works.
It doesn't appear to have worked.
I've tried this now too.

Sorry.
The best I can suggest is to search addons.mozilla.org for another hotmail addon. Here is a search result:
You could also ask in the Hotmail forum at http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/forum/hotmail
thanks. i added hotmail watcher and it's worse now - not updating immediately.
You can remove the add-on from the Firefox Add-ons Manager. See Disable or remove Add-ons
thanks, done that. you are so helpful!
