    Shut off email chime with Windows Live Mail?


    Folks,

    I'm totally fed up with getting a loud chime whenever an email drops into my inbox. How do I shut off this intrusive sound?

    I've looked in Settings/System/Notifications and Actions. There is no listing for my Windows Live Mail "app". So...that route is closed.

    The Mail app has a gear symbol which supposedly lets you shut off sounds. I don't use Mail. I use Windows Live Mail. WLM does not have a cute little gear symbol. So...that route is closed.

    How do I shut off this friggin' noise???

    Thanks,
    Ken

    Edited: Crap. I found it. It's in WLM/File/Options. Sigh. "File"? Really?

    :)

  2. Computer log-in results in chime going off after logging in

    A friend has a computer that has just been updated to Windows 10. When she enters her Microsoft password to enter Windows 10, the close chimes go off intermittently. It continues on and off until she shuts the computer off. It is really very strange
    and annoying. The chime is the same one as the close chime sound. Any idea what is happening? More importantly, what is the fix? Thank you for any ideas!

    In 8.1, whenever I received a new email a notification of it appeared on the top right-hand side of the page.

    Original Title - live email tile

    I recently upgraded to Windows 10 from 8.1.

    In 8.1, whenever I received a new email a notification of it appeared on the top right-hand side of the page, and a sound - a ding or a chime - was produced.

    Or a notification of a new email appeared in the email tile.

    In other words, the email tile in 8.1 was 'live'

    This is not the case in Windows 10, however.

    How can I get these email features to work also in Windows 10.

    Thank you for reading this message.
