Since doing a clean install of Leopard, the new mail sound works only intermittently. The only changes I made was to switch the New Mail Sound to Glass in preferences. Is this a Leopard bug? Has anyone else experienced this? I did a forum search but did not find anything related to this particular problem.

I'll chime in as well and say it seems to only work sometimes. As well as the Mail activity pane in the bottom left, won't show anything going on but it's checking for new mail.

same here: sound works for sending, but no sound for receiving new email, and it doesn't matter if I do this manually or automatically.
