Oops. Wrote too soon. Sorry.
It turns out that the only way for me to get the sound to play reliably is to
have the rule attached to the Inbox directly (and then it also plays for spam).
The reason for my confusion here was that I had tried the setup below, and left
it on, and reactivated the rule for the Inbox itself, so I had forgotten that
it didn’t work.
Since I already have a smart mailbox to apply a specific color to these
messages, for this smart mailbox, I’ve added a condition involving the
SpamSieve score to the rule that plays the sound. In other words, my rule for
that smart mailbox is:
If ALL conditions are true:
SpamSieve-Score does not exist
To Address is <the address for the account>
Actions:
Play Sound XXX
I added the other conditions because my address for the account is also a
catch-all address and therefore also gets spam sent to made-up addresses using
my domain name (which I own).
But the end result is that, if I disable my rule to play the sound for the
Inbox and only use the rule above, which is a rule for the smart inbox, then
the sound doesn’t play AT ALL.
Am I putting the conditions in the wrong place? Should I put them under
“Conditions for messages displayed” instead? (The distinction is not entirely
clear to me.)
Or do I need to create a different smart mailbox altogether?
Thanks (and thanks to Henry Seiden too, whose suggestion sounds interesting and
worth trying if this fails)!
