M$XP and sounds

I have all sounds turned off in the control panel. I have the volume control muted. And yet MS Outlook is beeping at me every time an email message comes in. Where is the setting to turn that off? I want the little popup dialog, I do not want noises.

We hates noises coming out of our computer, we does.

ETA: Thanks all, I found it. Three dialogs down in the MS Outlook Tools/Options. :-/

You turned off the soundcard. The old school no soundcard required beeps are still there.

There's a spot in outlook (Tools Options something) for how you want to be notified of new mail. You have to set it there too, as well as the CPL.

I'm fairly certain that setting, like most I've found, is in a different place in every version of outlook.
