<title>Getting notified of new mail</title>

<p>Evolution always notifies you of new messages by adding a yellow star to the mailer icon in the window <link xref="change-switcher-appearance">switcher</link>.</p>
<!-- Translators: Please make sure that the screenshot does have the small yellow star in the Mail icon -->

<p>In order to also be notified of new messages in the GNOME Notification area at the bottom of the screen, make sure that <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Plugins</gui><gui>Mail Notification</gui></guiseq> is enabled and that you have set your preferred options in the <gui>Configuration</gui> tab.</p>
