There looks to be an feature in claws mail called filter rules that
suits your needs. To create a new rule right click an email from the
sender and select create filter rule->by from. Add a name for the
rule and select an action to notify you such as:
execute "notify-send \"new message from %f\""
enable filter messages on receiving in the account preferences->receive
tab. This will send a desktop notification when you receive a message
from the specified sender.
