A poster on macOSXHints offers a way to increase the relative volume of Mail.app’s new mail sound.

It is complicated. The tip involves digging around in Mail’s package, extracting the audio files, adjusting their volume in an audio editing app and then replacing them.

Rob Griffiths (macOSXHints editor) recommends the freeware Audacity for the editing; the original poster favours Peak (shareware — USD 599. Eeek! Lite edition only USD 129).
