New mail sound doesn't play most of the time
Most of the time the new mail sound does not play. I think (not 100% sure), that it does not play when a message is filtered moved.
The sound: - plays when I press the "Play" button in the Options-General. - plays when I send myself an e-mail (it is not filtered). - file is a small 46 KB wav file.
Windows 10 Pro 64 bit. Lots of memory & storage.
Chosen solution
I have long noticed that the notification sound works intermittently, and it's not due to my computer being overloaded or any other obvious reason. It's not a big concern, as I prefer the visual notification provided by Unread Badge.
You might have better luck by using an add-on like Mailbox Alert or FiltaQuilla to generate notification sounds that work consistently.

Hello there.
The other topic so that it is thought that a bug has arisen or was already there. Could be because settings from previous versions of Thunderbird may still be applicable due to incorrect completion. Just remove the thunderbird installation. This will be reinstalled. If necessary, also refresh your window installation.

I am convinced that there is no sound at all for this subject. Only what is set, it plays. There is an input field for this, only to receive it,s incoming e-mails to your e-mail box, for which there is a playable sound. So that to your e-mail box from Thunderbird.
I have said several times that this issue has to do with the new e-mail sound, ie. when a new e-mail is received, and that the sound has been set properly.
I don't know if this is a translation problem, or you just don't know what you are doing. Either way, you responses have not helped at all.
Matt & sfhowes have helped, and sfhowes has presented alternatives. I thank them.
