I have found and duplicated this on multiple new Windows 7 computers.  
Windows Live Mail with a single IMAP email account.  Biggest problem is that 
the New Mail sound does not work.  Yes I have the default sounds setup 
correctly in control panel.  (Also, if I configure a POP account, the sounds 
work on POP3).  This is crazy!  

Is this a known problem?  Is a fix planned?  Lots of folks are going to be 
using IMAP with Google accounts, and not being able to get a "ding" when you 
have new email is a problem. 

Thanks,

A "ding" with every new email would drive me bonkers, lol.
