I have found how to change the sound that plays when the system receives a new email. I have not been able to find how to get the sound to play only once. I was hoping someone could give me an idea or point me in the right direction.

by default, the sound play just one time

the sound is

/usr/share/sounds/ui-new_email.wav

you can edit this .wav file as your flavor

If you play the default sound you will find it is a single 'ching', new email produces a 'ching ching'.

Why not 3 ping pong
all is possible here...

but if you default make ''ching ching'' instead ''ching''...

Just take the sounds i said uphere (ui-new_email.wav)...open in audio editor like Audacity...and cut 2 ching for 1 ching (cut half time of entire default sound)...save it...and crush your old one file by this new hair cut one!

all for yours help

You are not understanding, so I will try and break it down. If you take the default 'new email sound' (ui-new_email.wav) an play it in an audio player like osso-mediaplayer or canola it produces a single 'ching'. That is to say, the audio file that is heard when you receive a new email is repeated once, producing a 'ching ching'. Are we clear?
