My problem is that I filter e-mail messages into at least ten different directories. One is for Verizon Text messages, 95% of those are from my daughter and son-in-law during the daytime and often require immediate attention so an audio alert for stuff arriving in that directory would be nice. Of course they can always call my cell phone but it has a feeble little ring that I may not hear if I don't have my hearing aids in!
That would be in addition to the Thunderbird sound [aplay /usr/share/sounds/purple/alert.wav] already produced whenever messages are downloaded.
I wasn't able to work with the computer today, tomorrow should be better, just a lot going on here today.

Bob,
I don't know if you have found an extension that would work for you. However, a quick search gave me ToneQuilla (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/9956/) which adds the option to play a sound to the filter actions menu.
There are other ones that do similar based on folders and such, but that was the only one I saw in my admittedly short search that did it straight from the filtering options and not some external preference pane.
Hope that helps, Steve
