We use Entourage 2008 at work, and our desks are arranged in the typical cubicle environment, so I decided to customize my Entourage sounds to make it easier to know when it’s my email arriving and not one of the other Mac users sitting around me.

You’ll probably need to right-click the download link and save the zip file to your desktop.
