I figured out the problem.  In mail-notification the mail-notification
applet only sends notifications if ubuntu is running a "stracciatella
gnome" session.  Stracciatella-gnome-session was a "vanilla" gnome
session with very little ubuntu.  Presumably mail-notification turns
itself off for the regular ubuntu gnome session because of the evolution
indicator.

However!  Now that ubuntu has moved to unity, the gnome-shell session
doesn't have the evolution-indicator conflict anymore and mail-
notification should be enabled.

The way to fix this would be to remove the  is_stracciatella portions of
the mail-notification plugin.

Title:
  Mail Notification Plugin Doesn't Notify

Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I am using Ubuntu 11.10 with gnome-shell.  I am using the latest
  evolution with the mail notification plugin turned on.

  When I get mail I expect the mail notification plugin to present a
  popup and then leave a message in the notification tray.  This does
  not always happen.  One reproducible circumstance is if I leave
  evolution open on one desktop, move to another desktop and then leave
  my mouse focus on a window on the second monitor.  (For gnome-shell
  the second monitor shared across all desktops by default).  However,
  I've noticed the behavior in other instances.
