Thanks for your bug report.

The notification area isn't meant for minimizing applications. However there is currently a bounty for new mail notification. New mail events are notified
through dbus, but unfortunately there isn't a default gnome applet listening to those events. You should take a look at the mail-notification-daemon: 

http://www.nongnu.org/mailnotify/

It sits in the notification area and starts to blink when new mail arrives. It works with evolution as well as several other methods. You might want to
give it a try :)
