It’s for Wave 2 (WLM 8.5) but hopefully it works as well with 8.1.

I have Email notifications working with WLM 8.1 and Windows Live Mail. It uses the sound set in Windows for email notifications so for the original email sound you’ll have to set that in Windows

You’ll have to go into Windows’ sound settings (right-click on the speaker icon in the system tray and select “Sounds”). In the “Sounds” tab, locate the “Windows” sound scheme and there should be a “New Mail Notification” option. You can then change the sound file to anything you want after that and apply your changes.
