Evolution always notifies you of new messages by adding a yellow star to the mailer icon in the window switcher.
In order to also be notified of new messages in the GNOME Notification area at the bottom of the screen, make sure that Edit ▸ Plugins ▸ Mail Notification is enabled and that you have set your preferred options in the Configuration tab.
