Is it only when an email matches a search criterion?

How does Ubuntu's notification menu know that new email has arrived? Is
it just displaying Evolution's notification?  If so, then look in Edit
-> Plugins -> Mail Notification and click on the configuration tab -
make sure that "Notify new messages for Inbox only" is ticked.

I can only answer for myself, but I find Ubuntu has the feel of a "toy"
operating system - as if it was designed for the hobbyist end of the
market. I also dislike some of the fundamental design decisions.  It has
its place, and I'm not flaming people for using it - it's up to the
individual and nothing is perfect.  I just personally prefer something
that is much more suited to the environment I work in.
