Audible Email Alert - PC browser
For those using a browser to access fastmail.
Has anyone setup things so they get an audible alert when an email arrives. It doesn't appear natively possible within fastmail. Although I have got the tiny visual alert setup. Is anyone aware of a browser extension that would add this ability? cheers |
Failing that is there a way to trigger (perhaps using sieve script) a separate generic email, to be sent to something like gmail as according to the internet that does have browser extensions for it that will give you an audible alert.
N.B I don't want the original email sent to gmail as I consider it insecure |

I don't think you need any extension. At least, not with Firefox.
In Windows settings (Settings > Notificaitons), you need to allow 'Allow notifications to play sounds'. In Windows settings again (Settings > Notifications > Firefox), you also need to set Firefox to 'Play a sound when a notification arrives'. In Fastmail Quick Settings (at the bottom) toggle 'Show notifications for new messages' on. |

A differerent way to approach this might be to use a screen automation package (eg AutoHotKey, or AutoIt) to run a script on your computer which continually (or, say, once every few seconds) looks for the visual notification you mentioned, in an active browser tab. |
