[2] in TB, select the account and press Ctrl-T ("get new messages for this account")
--> message "A" arrives. 
--> New Mail notification popup announces "A".

Note: do not (yet) open or select message "A", just leave it as it is.

[3] send another message "B" to your account
[4] again, switch to TB and press Ctrl-T ("get new messages for this account")
--> message "B" arrives

Since the "new message arrived" notification is quite distractive for the user, it should display only a bare minimum of information. 

Repeatedly announcing that there still is unread mail (up to forcing the user to open the mail to make the messages go away) is clearly not helpful.
