Check Focus Mode

Focus Modes (formerly Do Not Disturb) are a frequent cause for missing sounds, as they can override app-specific sound settings.

Look in the Control Center (top right of your screen) for a crescent moon icon or a colored icon representing a Focus.

If a Focus Mode is active (like Personal, Work, or Do Not Disturb), try turning it off.

If turning it off works, you can adjust the Focus settings to allow Mail notifications/sounds specifically. Go to System Settings > Focus and click on your active Focus. Check the Apps section to see if Mail is configured to be silent.
