[Evolution] Bug#341472: evolution: Indicate number of unread messages in INBOX(es) in Notification Area

[Patricio Rojo]

Package: evolution
Version: 2.2.3-5
Severity: wishlist

I think that it will be really nice to have the Notification Area applet 
of Gnome showing the number of unread emails in the INBOX or INBOXES.
In this way I  can be in any workspace and notice inmediately if there 
is a new message even if I don't have any audible signal.
Maybe have this as a plugin?

   Thank you!
