Windows 10: Gmail setting at "notify me of all new emails", but no sound when they come in

I know this seems like an easy thing to fix, but there is nothing to setting the email notification.Went into settings, set it to Musicbox, and more, and then sent myself emails but there is noring telling me a new email came through on my desktop. Here are the settings. This should just work, but it does not.

Setting up audible sound to notify me of arrival of emails in my inbox

Hi,Steve,

Since Gmail doesn't natively support pushing sound notifications through your web browser, you must install a third-party program like Notifier for Gmail (a Chrome extension) or Gmail Notifier (a Windows program).

If you're using the Notifier for Gmail Chrome extension:

Right-click the extension icon next to Chrome's navigation bar, and choose Options.

Scroll down to the Notifications section and make sure Play alert sound for new emails is selected.

Change the sound using the drop-down menu.

Exit the window when you're done. The changes are saved automatically.

If you are using Gmail Notifier for Windows:

Right-click the program in the notification area and choose Preferences.

Make sure the Sound alert option is checked.

Click Select sound file to pick a notification sound for new Gmail messages.

Gmail Notifier only supports using WAV files for the sound. If you have an MP3 or some other type of audio file that you want to use for the Gmail notification sound, run it through a free audio file converter to save it in the WAV format. - Source Lifewire.com

 

Setting up audible sound to notify me of arrival of emails in my inbox

Hi,

I have Windows 10 on my laptop and went to "Settings" and "Notifications", but couldn't find a way to set up Windows 10 to notify me with audible sounds when a new email arrives in my Gmail inbox. I also checked settings in Gmail, but likewise didn't find
an audible notification setting. I would appreciate any help anyone can offer.

What Are the Gmail SMTP Server Settings?
Gmail SMTP
Gmail POP3 Settings

• Gmail POP server address: pop.gmail.com
• Gmail POP user name: Your full Gmail address (L: [email protected], for example)
• Gmail POP password: Your Gmail password
  • ​If you have enabled Gmail 2-step authentication, use an application-specific Gmail password.

• Gmail POP port: 995
• Gmail POP TLS/SSL required: yes

- I just did a couple of general internet searches for you.

I'm not sure that you can transfer emails from one server to another unless you have some offer to do that.

Consider using an email client such as Thunderbird, which can receive and store emails on your PC. I have emails going back many years.

(Of course, also back up your PC!)
