Sure, this is it:



-- START SCRIPT --

if [ ! -e  $HOME/tmp/.newmail ]; then

	touch $HOME/tmp/.newmail

	zenity --notification
--window-icon=/usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/stock/net/stock_mail.png

--text="You have new mail"

	rm $HOME/tmp/.newmail

fi

-- END SCRIPT --



I have it as ~/bin/newmail.sh, the Evo filter points at this.



Make sure the zenity, --window icon and --text are on one line (mailers
tend to wrap it).



A word of explanation.

Touching ~/tmp/.newmail is done to avoid multiple icons when more then
one new mail comes in.  When you click the icon, .newmail gets removed,
so a new icon can appear.



You can use any icon, just replace the stock_mail.png file.



Enjoy.
