Re: [Evolution] Notification on new e-mail

Use Ubuntu 15.10 and PPAs from Gnome3-team and Gnome3-team staging.  All this works even on ancient PCs.  Have a backup PC that is an eight-year old hp/Compaq dx2200m.

Ah, I downloaded the version I have from Mint's software manager, which
currently hosts 3.10. Checking out Ubuntu's package listings (since Mint
is based off Ubuntu 14.04 LTS) it says that this is the latest version
available for 14.04 and that 3.18.x isn't supported until Xenial
(16.04). Is there any way I can get 3.18.x running on my machine?

(P.S. Cinnamon is based on Gnome 3 so it should be able to support Gnome
alerts.)
