Oh, I should mention that this has been changed since (thanks a lot!). Now 
(KDE 4.4.4), the panel is not displayed any more, just the notification is 
shown (not at the bottom of the screen, but at the position where it would be 
with a visible panel, so it kind of floats).

So, at least an innocent notification does not display the panel any more, 
which is a great advance. 
However, if you then display the panel for some reason, it will not go away, 
until the mail notification has reached it visibility timeout.

Cheers,
Reinhold
