I have setup 2 user profiles, but would like user A's email to play xyz.wav and when he gets email and user B's email to play pdq.wav when his profile is running and he gets mail.

Is there a way?

if not, can I have different notification sounds tied to the different email addresses within 1 profile?

if anyone else has the same problem, this is what I did:
1) shut off new mail notification in control panel> sounds
2) open outlook in profile 1
3) create a rule so that mail to those email accounts plays sound X
4) exit outlook
5) open outlook using profile 2
6) create a rule so that mail to those email accounts plays sound Y
7) exit

I also added an exception that only mail from those people in the address book plays a sound. other email to those email accounts (=spam) comes silently.
