Can't turn off new Mailmate notification sound

Reported by Karon MacLean | 2021-09-09 16:57:44 UTC

About 4 days ago, MailMate started making an additional (loud and very unpleasant) new-email notification sound. I have tried everything to turn it off and it's driving me nuts.
I have tried:
- turned off apple OS sounds related to email - Further, turned on another non-web-based email program (Apple Mail) to see if it generated an incoming-mail sound. It does not, further pointing the finger at MailMate). - turned off all counter-related sounds within MailMate (I know how to do this; and I've actually re-enabled then disabled all notifications of any kind within MM) - rebooted computer several times I'm running Version 1.13.2 (5673) on Catalina. No recent (in last 2-3 months) relevant updates on anything that I can recall. I've used MM (happily) for several years.
I have NOT tried uninstalling and reinstalling MM yet - reluctant as that will be a pain.
Any ideas?

Referencing ticket #493 (8 years old) where a similar problem was reported, but I don't see a way to re-open it.

    one further comment: if I turn a "regular" MM notification sound on, it plays first, then a couple of seconds later, this other unaccounted sound plays. But it does seem to be specific to MailMate.

    I was having the same issue but just figured it out. The issue was with SpamSieve. Open SpamSieve and remove the notification sounds.

    I had the same issue but it wasn't SpamSieve. Quitting that program still resulted in the sound.

    Turning off "Turn off user interface sound effects" in the Sound System Preference solved the issue for me but I realize that is not ideal for everyone.
