(Keywords: platform-parity)

For a new mail sound, it is currently impossible for a Mac OS user to choose any 
of the sounds which they usually have access to (and which they could choose from 
in 4.x). You can see a list of these sounds in the `Alerts' tab of the Sounds 
control panel.

Pinkerton tells me these sounds are stored in the System file.

this will become a dup of #64462
for the mac, I plan on implementing nsSound::PlaySystemSound() to play the 
internet config specified sound for when new mail arrives.

so this is a dup of #64462

this is fixed.

you can now use internet config to choose you mail sound, and that uses system
sounds.

Commercial build: 2001-11-09-06  Mac OS 9.1, Mac OS X 
I have dual boot on my Mac. Once I change the sound for biff on one of them in 
the internet config file it was the same on Mac OS X. The sound which you change 
on one would reflect on the other too.  
Also noticed that trying to open internet config on Mac OS X would launch 
Classic 9.1.  
You can select any sound from the internet config on Mac to play the sound when 
mail arrives.  Marking verified.
