This will associate an audible alert with filters but the problem is messages 
not managed by any filters cannot have an action associated with them in the 
current version of KMail, AFAIK.

The OP can't get regular new messages in the inbox to cause an alert and I had 
the same problem. Unless you describe a kind of messages (such as mailing 
list posts) with a filter, there is no way to associate an action with them.

Is there a workaround to this?
