I can confirm that I get sounds from all gnome and kde apps that I run,
except for new mail notification on evolution.  Even clicking on the OK
for a meeting reminder generates a sound, but not new mail.

I have filters turned on for all my IMAP accounts.  This worked fine for
me until I updated to gnome 2.6 - which was a while ago.

I'm running Mandrake Cooker.

I think I'll create a POP account and see if that does mail
notification.
