I do not see that.  If it has been for several versions perhaps you have
a bad setting stuck somewhere.  Maybe look around in
org.gnome.evolution.mail with dconf-editor and see if anything looks
suspicious.

I believe evolution-tray does not work because there is no tray;  that
was a GNOME 2 thing. ??? Do you not get notifications via GNOME Shell's
notification from Evolution?  With GNOME 3.10 you can toggle
notifications on/off by application - perhaps it is just turned off.
