Set Custom Incoming Mail Sound

Everytime you have incoming message to your Mail, you will realize that there is a sound echoed by your Mail. This sound is set as New Mail Sound by your Mail default. The fun thing here is you can set this incoming Mail sound with custom sound.

Do you want to this setting custom Mail sound can be done?

Setting Custom Mail Sound

It's amazingly easy to set custom incoming Mail sound and I feel that I'm surprisingly careless that I've just spotted this trick after long time using Mac. Here are the simple steps you need to follow:

  1. Choose your sound and drag it into ~/Library/Sounds
    You can add any type of sounds here, from short sound effects to long songs. If I were you, I will use the former one.
  2. Open your Mail Preferences Pane (Command-Comma)

    Mail Preferences
  3. Go under General section
  4. Look for New mail sound pop-up menu and choose the sound you want Mail to use
    The test sound will be played. If you accidentally click on the wrong song, you cannot stop the song unless you quit Mail.

  5. Additional tip: if you only want the sound to be played on incoming Mail, you can untick the checkbox just below the pop-up menu.

You're My Honeybunch

Youtubing (my term to replace searching in YouTube) around, I found the original singer. No, this has no connection with setting your incoming Mail sound, but I cannot resist to mention her cuteness.

I am the 5,454,061st person to view her act, so everybody should agree that she is cute, isn't she?

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own weblog and was curious what all is required to get setup? I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I'm not very web smart so I'm not 100% sure. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Appreciate it
