Hi, Bob:

Tonequilla looks like a very useful add-on, but it appears it's been
unsupported for some time, and new versions of Thunderbird have a different
API it won't work with.

The only suggestion I could find online was to consider "Mailbox Alert" (
https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/mailbox-alert/)

Mailbox Alert doesn't work the same way as Tonequilla, but it appears if
you wanted to set up filters to save specific email senders into their own
folders, Mailbox Alert would let you set up different sounds for them. That
might be a big disruption to your workflow.

Haven't tried it, just found the clues on the internet.

Hope that helps.
