Hi,

maybe it is not settings->notification what you want.
I use filters to automatically move emails into folders (each of my customers 
has one).
In some cases i have to check if these emails contain special subject 
information. and if so, i let popup a blocking windows that forces me to 
react (like critical conditions on machines that i care for).

to do so, i create a filter based on 'From' and 'Subject', add actions 'move 
to folder' and 'execute'. 'execute' starts
/usr/bin/kdialog --msgbox "Important message from Maschine X! Check 
immediately!"

hope it helps.
