Comment(by adot):

 really looking forward to this being implemented...
 ...sorry, I understand all the devs here are volunteers, but according to
 the posts here, this has been ready for implementation for over a year.  I
 would compile my own build but I hardly know the first thing about
 programming.

 Having this sound event would increase my productivity; I work from home
 and monitor my business email account using Pidgin and I have to turn on
 my LCD every hour or so to see whether a notification has popped up.
 Having the new mail sound event would allow me to continue working
 uninterrupted and simply be notified with the sound when I have a new
 email; it seems to be the point of a "notification" in the first place---
 to not have to constantly be looking.
