I posted this a while ago on this list.

You can get mail-notification to work with a simple patch if you're
happy to compile it from source.  I have it working with 2.6 quite
nicely.

The patch was here
(http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/garnome/geektoys/mail-notification/files/), called 
mail-notification-2.0-evolution-2.6.diff however I notice now there is a 
mail-notification-2.0-evolution-2.8.diff instead.  It may or may not
work for 2.6, I haven't tried it.

If it doesn't work, let me know and I will post the 2.6 patch for you.

cya,
