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.

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-notificati on/+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-notificati on-evolution evolution/ 2.24/plugins evolution/ 2.24/plugins/ org-jylefort- mail-notificati on.eplug evolution/ 2.24/plugins/ liborg- jylefort- mail-notificati on.so
...
/usr/lib/
/usr/lib/
/usr/lib/
# dpkg -L evolution-plugins evolution/ 2.26 evolution/ 2.26/plugins
...
/usr/lib/
