After digging around a bit I've found that I can't get mail-notification to display a notification icon at all. The notification I was seeing earlier was being displayed by the evolution-indicator plugin.
I can hear a sound when I recieve a new message, so the mail notification plugin is running, but it either does not display a notification message or it tries to and fails. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evolution in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/878941 Title: Mail Notification Plugin Doesn't Notify Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I am using Ubuntu 11.10 with gnome-shell. I am using the latest evolution with the mail notification plugin turned on. When I get mail I expect the mail notification plugin to present a popup and then leave a message in the notification tray. This does not always happen. One reproducible circumstance is if I leave evolution open on one desktop, move to another desktop and then leave my mouse focus on a window on the second monitor. (For gnome-shell the second monitor shared across all desktops by default). However, I've noticed the behavior in other instances.
