Replying to myself: the filter started to work after I logged out and
back in.

I had tried closing and opening Evolution, and killing all Evolution
processes, but neither fixed the problem.  Not quite sure what the
difference is.

If anyone's interested, here's my current notify script:

#!/bin/bash

PID=$(ps -C zenity -o pid --no-heading)

if [ -n "$PID" ]; then
   exit 0
else
   zenity --notification
--window-icon="/usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/stock/net/stock_mail.png"
--text="You have mail."
fi

exit 0


Note: Clicking the mail icon in the notification area makes it
disappear.  I'd like the click to give focus to Evolution if it's
already running, or if it isn't, to start it.  But, that's going to
require a lot more coding (I suspect), so I'm leaving this as is. 

Regards,

Ranbir
