Honestly I think this would be just working around the problem; KMail
should just tell you "5 new emails" and not try to stuck everything in one
small popup. After all it should just tell you that you have new mail, not
try to be the mail client itself :)

That would be nicely solved by the SNIs - they would sit in your panel just
like on your android top toolbar, so you'd know you have some
notifications, I wouldn't like to keep them on screen forever.
