If you're using e-mail poppers or chat clients that notify you of new mail,then go the configuration options & modify the alert configuration.

it's not a question of Forcing... Yahoo mail simply doesn't have that feature.  Suggest it who knows they may put that in the next patch for yahoo.  If ya want something ya gotta ask or how will all the computer geeks at yahoo gonna know?\n\nThe only program i know of that does have the audio alerts is microsoft out look which comes with most computers you just have to set it up... and you can also set up your Outlook to check your yahoo mail :D

Yes, if you are running Yahoo Messenger http://messenger.yahoo.com you can get audio and pop-up alerts. ( more info at: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/messenger/messenger75/managingim/managingim-23.html )\n\nIf you are using Yahoo Toolbar http://toolbar.yahoo.com you can get an alert on the mail button of toolbar. ( more info at: http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/toolbar/toolbar-18.html )\n\nYou can also use a Yahoo Widget to check for new mail:\nhttp://widgets.yahoo.com/yahoomailchecker/

You should download some old Version of Yahoo! Messenger.  the older version like 4-5 do not have it. you can mail me and ask for it.

I think the most recent version is only 7.0.0.437, so you're not very far behind. \nThis version is a Beta version, but it's available at the messenger home page. \nJust go to yahoo.com and click the messenger icon. \nFrom the messenger home page, click either the Get it Now button for current 7.0 or the Try the New Beta button for that one.\n\nI've been on it since shortly after it was put out and have no sound issues with it.

1. Go to START - SETTINGS - CONTROL PANEL - SOUNDS & AUDIO DEVICES - SOUNDS\n\nScroll down until you see - MAIL NOTIFICATION - there you can choose your sound, either by browsing, or selecting one from the list. Make sure it is enabled, and of course your sound is on

First different mail service providers give different alert options like IM Alert, SMS alert\n\nBoth yahoo and gmail give out sms alerts for free\n\nand in yahoo im in your preferences, under Alerts\n\ncheck the option which says, notify for new mails..it should do it\n\nfor gmail, you can downlaod the gmail plugin from google\n\nso alerts depends on the mail service you want to use

I think refreshing and logging in should have solved the problem.  Try this:\n\nDelete your Temporary Internet Files\nClose your browser\nRe-boot the computer\nRe-install the mail program\nTest the SMTP connection\n\nNow you should see some new mail notices.

First thing is to check if your sound card is indeed working and you get sounds in other programs.\nThen (may differ in different programs) go to Tools> Options> general> Play sound when new messages arrive

Well. You have 2 options. \n1. If you have Outlook, Thunderbird, Eudora or any other email client, then you can set up Yahoo POP access. This way, if any new email comes the email client will either display a popup window or will play a music to notify you of new email. However, to obtain POP access on Yahoo you should be a Yahoo Mail Plus customer. Or you can try this software http://www.ypopsemail.com , I haven't tried it yet.\n\n2. The second option you have is to download Yahoo messenger from http://messenger.yahoo.com . Once you have messenger installed and when you log in to Yahoo Messenger, it'll play a sound and display a popup window saying you have mail. I use Yahoo Messenger.\n\nHope that answers your question.
