Firstly I have evolution 2.4.2, so I don't know if that makes a difference to the applet. I added a mailbox in the prefs window, using: "mailbox type" "Evolution" "mailbox name" "INBOX" "Folder" <selected my inbox folder from the evolution-style folder list> I also made these changes to the "Mail Summary Popup" - Enable mail summary popup - Automacitally close after 5s - Only Display recent mail looking at the mail-notification source (for gentoo) I see a patch applied called mail-notification-2.0-evolution-2.4.diff which looks like it changes the behaviour for evolution 2.4, so my settings may be useless to you! > I have Evolution 2.2.3.
