This plugin is used to notify the user when a new mail arrives. There are
-several ways to do this. One is to play a sound (currently a WAV, SWF or MP3
-file) through the browser whenever the user has unseen messages flagged in the
-left window pane. There are options available (on the options page of course) to
-disable this feature for each user, and to select different media files from the
-users local computer. The default is that this is NOT enabled, so you'll need to
-go to the options menu to turn it on first! There are also options to show a
-popup window via JavaScript.
