Hi There! I just wanted to know how can I customize notifications sounds in my mailspring. I’m new here. Thanks in advance.
Officially there’s no setting for this — Preferences > General lets you turn the new-mail sound on or off, but not change it, and the sound is played by Mailspring itself rather than through your OS’s notification sound settings. (Details: Configuring your notifications — Mailspring Documentation)
There is an unofficial way to do it, though. The new-mail sound is loaded from a bundled plugin at custom-sounds/CUSTOM_UI_NewMail_v1.ogg, and Mailspring checks your own packages folder for that path before its bundled copy. If you drop an OGG file of your own at:
- macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Mailspring/packages/custom-sounds/CUSTOM_UI_NewMail_v1.ogg - Windows:
%AppData%\Mailspring\packages\custom-sounds\CUSTOM_UI_NewMail_v1.ogg - Linux:
~/.config/Mailspring/packages/custom-sounds/CUSTOM_UI_NewMail_v1.ogg
…(create the folders if they don’t exist) and restart Mailspring, your file is played instead. Don’t put a package.json in that folder — just the .ogg. It has to be OGG (convert with Audacity or ffmpeg), and it’ll survive updates since it lives in your data folder rather than the app. The same works for the send sound (CUSTOM_UI_Send_v1.ogg).
