[Evolution] How do I rm irritating mail notification popup?

[Gary Kline <kline thought org>]

        Several months ago I wanted a way to determine if new mail had arrived
        and installed an app that worked with evolution.  It pops up a small 
        dialog that tells me I have new mail; the rectangle doesn't go away until
        I hit an [x] in the upper right corner; then a yellow icon keeps flashing
        at me.  It's annoying.  

        Q1: Is there a means of turning off the blinking/flashing? Q2: Are there
        other mail-notification apps that work with evo that would be more
        suitable: nothing that flashes, blinks, beeps.  Just something on the
        panel/bar/<whatever-it's called> that tells me I have a new message[s]
        waiting.

        tia, guys,
