Working 16.04 MATE solution is below.
In brief:
1. install indicator stuff (libindicate-gtk3, libindicate5, python-indicate, python-gnomekeyring, python-notify).
2. get old packages from Ubuntu 12.04 (python-support, libindicator-messages-status-provider1, indicator-messages, indicator-messages-gtk2).
3. test with Popper (https://launchpad.net/~ralf.hersel/+archive/ubuntu/rhersel-ppa).
Go to Applications -> Internet -> Popper (or launch popper-config).
Popper will work, check and indicate new e-mails as on Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS.
For 16.04 do not forget to set packages pin:
