my mac gives a strange short notification sound every few minutes and i cant find out why

I know the subject topic was discussed and relpied, but i was not able to post my reply for it so decided to renew it as a new post. In short, the solusitons offered in the original post did not help in my case. Request for help, thanks

I think I know where the problem lies: i changed the setup the wasy it sounds the noification for VIP emails only and it makes more sense to me now as it was sounding the alarm for all new messages as the notificatoins was set to Inbox only,

i will post an update if it did not work



I would post an update if it did work..to appropriately close out this thread.
