Trouble Changing email notification Sound (Win 10)

[Da Mail Man]

Greetings All...

1)...Using a Lenovo IdeaPad S340 Laptop and windows 10 64bit...

2)...I have been trying for 2 days to change the e-mail notification sound and failed each time....

3)...I get into the area to change the sounds (add a different sound of my own) and when I tell the computer what WAV sound to use, hit "apply", and hit close and test same, I still get the same default sound!

4)...I send mail to that laptop and and it receives that nail, HOWEVER, the laptop stills notify s me with the Windows e-mail notification sound

5)....I watched a few vids on utube and am still failing.......WHAT AM I MISSING HERE?

Any assistance is welcome...

What email app are you using?

 

[Da Mail Man]

Not sure how to answer this....Using Firefox as a browser and web mail....(No "Outlook, Outlook Express, etc.)...*USING A COMPUTER, NOT PHONE)

Which web mail.

Geezzzz, How the hell did I mess this up!...grin...Thunderbird....Works well on my win 7 computer (re-sound notification) but, not on win 10...

Getting more confused with each post I make...I use "t-bird" in my "7" computer.......There is no real e-mail client on my "10" computer...I clearly see the "sounds" in my "10" and how to change things....And this is as far as I get...

You are using the settings via thunderbird right? And not windows itself?

Go to settings, general, then scroll down to incoming email and change the sound notification there.

No........Thunderbird does NOT play a roll in this.....using w10 settings in computer......I bring up my browser (Firefox) and sign into my e-mail...As far as settings go here are picts (look for red arrows)...I selected the WAV file and tried 2 different places to "store" it...Same results...

.I bring up my browser (Firefox) and sign into my e-mail..

which web mail? You said Thunderbird which wasn't right.

 

[Da Mail Man]

I open my browser which is firefox......and sign onto the web page I desire....Once there, I sign into my e-mail of which I can send and receive....

I have T-bird and Firefox...Is it Firefox that then controls the "sound"?

***EDIT!...Thunderbird is NOT installed on the laptop - I just noticed that, ONLY FIREFOX****
