Hi when trying to follow the instructions below, it appears that everything is unchecked except for the sound, but I still get the notification what can I do? 4.11.3 Turning Off New Message Notifications
By default, whenever a new message arrives in your Inbox, your screenreader will announce the sender and subject. This may be distracting and can hinder your privacy if people nearby hear the announcement. To turn this off:
1. Press Alt F T to open the Options categories menu
2. In the Category list, Down arrow once to Mail (do not press Enter).
3. Tab several times to the Message arrival sound checkbox which is checked by default. I like to keep this one on. You will hear a ¡°boing¡± when messages arrive.
4. Tab to Show an envelope icon in the Taskbar checkbox and press the Spacebar to uncheck it.
5. Tab to the Display a desktop alert checkbox and press the Spacebar to uncheck it.
6. Shift + Tab back to the OK button and press the Spacebar. You could Tab instead, but this is an extremely lengthy dialog box. Shift + Tabbing is much faster.
