I use KDE Plasma version 5.26.90. The KDE Frameworks version is
5.102.0.
I get pop-up notes from KDE that evolution has received new messages.
Possibly a secondary thing: no messages -> no popup.
But the messages don't appear in Evolution [...]
Since the thread is trying to derail into whether "safe upgrade"
is somehow safer or not (spoiler: sometimes, but here most probably

I have no clue with Evolution, but it might help those helping you
to tell us how Evolution is "getting" its mails.
My hunch would be that it is set up to fetch its mails from the
server (how? IMAP? POP3?).
Evolution is using imap to receive mail. I can read the messages on the server in Firefox. I can read the messages in Evolution if I run evolution in the messed-up bastardized Debian 10/11, but when I run a pure newly-installed Debian 11, thats when Evolution doesn't display the messages that KDE has announced have arrived.
My Evolution is set up to read several accounts. The same problem affects all of them.
I haven't tried Thunderbird.
It would be useful to try to debug this process. Again, I've never
touched Evolution in my life, but here [1] is a nice debugging guide
which might help getting things started.
Now let's hope to get back on topic and perhaps some Evolution guru
chimes in.
