Okay, I do understand Sebastian in the way that he technically
wants the notification be send from the central backend and not from the 
frontend. 

But we all seem to agree that notification should be send
for all folders, don't we?

I believe that for each folder that gets presented to the user
a notification should be possible. For remote and local folders.

To me KMail is now the "Mail" component of "Kontact".
Technically there is the akonadi (backend), but it has part of the old KMail 
functionality. The new frontend is not usable without the backend.
I admit I have not yet tried alternative mail frontends. ;)
