For years, I've paid attention to the popup from Evolution which give

a

I wasn't aware of,  was the accompanying audio notification.   

So the question is ... How does one turn off the audio notification

and

leave

the visual notification?   

Evolution doesn't have a notification widget. I think what you are

seeing (and hearing) isn't coming from Evolution but from Gnome. Look

for 'notification' under Evo's Help. I don't use Gnome so I'm guessing

here.

It's in gnome-control-settings under notifications. From there you can

control whether sound is used for evolution notifications.

There's also "Mail Notification" under Plug-in Manager. From there you

can open the Open Gnome Notifications settings as well, which gets you

to the same place as above.

Finally there are dconf settings for it as well (which I presume is

what the above manipulates). Try something like

 dconf write /org/gnome/evolution/plugin/mail-notification/notify-sound-enabled false

Thanks for providing all the details needed for tracking down and eliminating the audio notification.
