My Thunderbird just updated itself to 128.2.0esr, and now every time new mail arrives it plays a sound even though "Play a sound" is not checked in settings. I tried enabling the setting and then disabling it again, but to no avail.

Help!

Do you have 'Use the system notification' enabled in Settings?

Indeed I do, just as I always have (as far as I know). Together with "Play a sound" unchecked.

So, I unchecked "Use system notification', and that appears to have been the required magic.

Thank you very much!
