So you use Thunderbird for the Digikam mailing list, and gmail (webmail?) for 
all other email. That makes me think you are using a separate email address 
for this list. (if you were using the same gmail address as for your other 
mail, you'd see the Digikam messages there as well)

If that's the case, I don't see how you could get notifications from the 
address you use here to the other address(es) you use, other than through the 
settings for your gmail account. But that's not a Digikam problem...

Same for the user interface, you'll probably get more/better answers on a 
platform dedicated to gmail (or try Google "gmail how to use"?"). Or, of 
course, you can use Thunderbird for the other mail as well...
