POP has to be triggered by KMail, because the resource itself does not own any 
collection that could be synchronized, It merely writes into a collection 
owned by a maildir/mbox resource. I think this is not the best way  to do it, 
but I guess it's not going to change any time soon.

If you are referring to "notifications without KMail running", that means that 
when a new email appears in a collection (like with IMAP autosync or IMAP 
IDLE), the notification will be shown, because it's dispatched by the agent 
which is running all the time in the background.
