Well, although I don't use evolution or exchange, I find wmbiff [0] very handy
for mail notifications. It sits in the slit and counts the number of emails for
each mailbox configured. It'll check IMAP, POP3, /var/mail/foo & the output of
shell commands. You can configure different notifications for each mailbox too.
