Mail sound

It took mine awhile before it quit, give it time. However, every once and awhile it scares the crap out me cuz it will still do it on occasion, not very often, but still on occasion. Now I just leave my speakers turned off until I retrieve my mail.

plug your ears.

You might like what I did for mine.  Go to the mail tab, then click mail center.  Go to"mail settings customize your e-mail".  Then click "sounds, aol".  You cannot get rid of the you've got mail here, but you can customize it with one of your computer sounds, or you've got mail spoken by various celebrities.  Anyway, it' a place to play around in and maybe you'll find something better to use.  Hope it helps.
