I had tried closing and opening Evolution, and killing all Evolution processes, but neither fixed the problem. Not quite sure what the difference is. If anyone's interested, here's my current notify script: #!/bin/bash PID=$(ps -C zenity -o pid --no-heading) if [ -n "$PID" ]; then exit 0 else zenity --notification --window-icon="/usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/stock/net/stock_mail.png" --text="You have mail." fi exit 0 Note: Clicking the mail icon in the notification area makes it disappear. I'd like the click to give focus to Evolution if it's already running, or if it isn't, to start it. But, that's going to require a lot more coding (I suspect), so I'm leaving this as is.
