FYI, I use a separate rule effective on all Inboxes, “Inbox Date >2m + “Blow”. It does as described, waits 2 min after receipt of incoming mail to any (Source) Inbox to allow for the movement of spam by the drone machine in SpamSieve and plays the given sound effect for those conditions considerably after the spam has disappeared. It’s been very reliable. No dings with spam/junk email in real time. I considered reducing it to 1m delay, but see no reason for concern.
In MM Settings>Counters tab, on each instance of computer(s) running MM, the incoming sound therefore is set to None. And yes, it is working on 2.0(v6246), gives plenty of time for my drone installation of SpamSieve to operate. Respectfully, Henry Seiden - - Techworks Pro Co.
