I don't think that the fact that the icon does not appear, does not
depend on having Evo the focus; most of the time Evo sits in another of

focus, and the icon is not showing up;

In my 2.24 there is also Edit->Plugins->Mail Notification->tab Configuration
see screen http://www.unixarea.de/notify3.png
there is no right-click-action on the tab;

I have to use Exchange; do you know where to locate the bug report?
