Not sure about Ubuntu, but on Fedora you need to configure the Mail
Notification application once you have installed it.

On Fedora you do this by System Menu -> Preferences -> Mail
Notification.  You then need to fill in the relevant fields in the
resulting dialog box.  For example, add a new mailbox of type Evolution
and select you Inbox folder, switch to the Message Popups tab and enable
popups.  There are a number of different options you can experiment
with.

Once you've finished configuring you should be able to repeat you
experiment with minimising Evolution and sending an email from GMail.
