I use a FIFO to pipe alpine's new mail alert to notifyd; not sure how clever that is, but it works for me.

Can you post the script? I'd love to use it.
Used to use my own wee C prog that just passed the alert unparsed to libnotify; currently using a modified version of this far superior shell script (which I can't take any credit for): https://github.com/Bruce-Connor/alpine-osd-notify/blob/maste... (You have to set newmail-fifo-path in your pinerc.)
