No, but he wants to be alerted about new messages arriving, if I understand him correctly.
  Which I probably don't because there is even a hard to overlook configuration option to
start programs when an email arrives.

If he needs to "hear" those new emails together at a later time (the only other
interpretation I can think of), it still is better to use the configuration option or a
filter: Collect the email subjects in a file in the home dir and then later access this
file instead of scouring the messages itself.
