Communication usually takes place via email today. Outlook under Windows has thus become an important program in email communication. Depending on the amount of emails we receive every day, it may make sense to hear a short tone or sound when we receive the email so that we are informed acoustically about the arrival of new messages.
With this acoustic signal , the Outlook inbox does not have to be observed all the time, but can simply be called up and viewed when the sound is heard.
In this short Outlook tutorial we would like to show you how you can activate this acoustic signal when you receive your inbox in Outlook . To do this, first open in Outlook
file
the Outlook menu and then select the option
Options
A new window opens, which contains all of the Outlook options. The desired Outlook tone function can be found in the left column in the area
We have shown you the window that then appears here below.
In the ” Message Inbox ” area you will then find the option for the acoustic signal at the inbox under
When new messages – Play a sound
As soon as you have set this option, Outlook should now play a sound when a new e-mail arrives.
Change Outlook sound settings
If you want to set a different sound or tone for the inbox , you have to do this in the sound settings . You can do this in the Windows 10 Start menu using the search term
Sounds
call.
Then you have the app
Change system sounds
call and then you will see the following window in the ” Sounds ” tab .
Here you have the option under the program event
