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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/878941 Title: Mail Notification Plugin Doesn't Notify To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/878941/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
