Description TJ 2008-07-24 07:47:50 UTC 
Using Ubuntu Hardy.

Evolution uses the Mail Notification plugin. It is set to report on new email in the "Inbox".

There are ~20 IMAP4 accounts configured each of which has its own Inbox. When a new email arrives to any of those accounts Mail Notification reports:

"You have new mail"

but doesn't report to which account(s). This means the user has to open/expand the account tree elements for each account to discover which account(s) have new email.

It would be a nice enhancement if there was a 'Details' button in Mail Notification or, better still, a list in the notification pop-up itself, listing the friendly account names that have new email.
