In my experience, what happens is that with 'hide on autolaunch'  
enabled, you don't get notified (unless you have mail waiting at log  
in) until you open the mailbox at least once; after that you get  
notified even if you've re-hidden your mailbox.  This is on 2.1, and  
though I haven't systematically checked the pattern, it has held every  
time that I've remembered to look for it; your mileage may vary.

Ciao, Stefano
