Re: [Evolution] New Mail Notification - Not working?

[Anthony J Bogner <tbogner draper com>]

Ludo,

You didn't say which version of Evolution you are using.  If you are
using 1.2.2, the following formula worked for me.  

    Sound:
        
        To get a beep or play a sound when e-mail arrives, perform
        the following THREE steps:
    
        Tools-->Settings:
                "Mail Preferences"
                Under "New Mail Notification" select "Beep" or 
                "Play sound file when new mail arrives"
                
        Tools-->Settings:
                "Mail Accounts"
                Select your mail account and click "edit"
                Select "Receiving Options"
                Check "Apply filters to new messages in INBOX on this server"
        
        Restart Evolution!

I don't understand why the "Mail Preferences" setting wasn't enough. 
This was the same formula that I found on the ximian.com web site EXCEPT
for the "restart Evolution".

HTH.
