I believe this may be a duplicate of bug 355209 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355209). The workaround provided by IanW (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mail-notification/+bug/355209/comments/3) resolved this problem.

The problem is a simple version missmatch. You can confirm this by checking the version of the plugin directories for the following packages.

# dpkg -L mail-notification-evolution
...
/usr/lib/evolution/2.24/plugins
/usr/lib/evolution/2.24/plugins/org-jylefort-mail-notification.eplug
/usr/lib/evolution/2.24/plugins/liborg-jylefort-mail-notification.so

# dpkg -L evolution-plugins
...
/usr/lib/evolution/2.26
/usr/lib/evolution/2.26/plugins

However, after finally getting mail-notification to communicate with evolution, it still doesn't work as expected. If you use the "Evolution" mailbox type, mail-notification requires evolution to be running. I ended up adding the mailboxes into mail-notification, bypassing evolution for the notifications.

If this bug is about compiling mail-notification to work with evolution, then please ignore this post.
