Anyone know?
I don't have a solution, I'm afraid, but I can confirm that I have the same problem with Evolution 1.2.1 on Mandrake 8.2. I can get filters to play a sound (which you say you can't) but I cannot get new mail notifications to work. I've filed a bug report about this, so it would be good if you added your comments to it.
