I just found this via Folder -> Properties. I checked it, because I
didn't realize this existed. I think that what I installed was a
separate plugin --- what it was called has long been forgotten, but it
was anoying*=10000. It was a minor reason I stopped using evolution.
(Right now, I've got evo running and am waiting for new mail ... so I
can pounce:)

Found it (Edit -> Plugins); found the notification string, and
configured
it. A few seconds later, the other evo plugin popped up for a couple
seconds, then vanished leaving a small envelope icon that kept blinking.
Do you--or anybody else--know what that plug in is called. I gotta get
rid of that one!
