No Notification Sound Incoming Mail on GMX

[Stephen]

Notification sounds suddenly stopped for a GMX account. The gmail accounts give sounds normally. GMX messages arrive 'unread.'
I understand there is 'per account silent notifications override'. I'm not sure about this I have tried the following.

Long press>special settings>message notification> ON>Enable notifications (checked)

Still no sound

Thanks. Vibration doesn't work and I'm using the same sound file as the gmail one.

That got it thanks. I'll remember this in future. Appreciated.

Just to clarify -- each checkbox on the "Special Settings" screen means "yes, use these settings for this account, not app level settings that apply to all accounts by default".

So when you want to override something -- let's say, notifications -- for a certain account, it's not enough to just enable the "message notifications" checkbox in special settings. It's also necessary to "click into" and set what those "special settings", for this account, are.

And by default, Aqua's notifications don't use any sound. Personal preference, really.
