None of your settings has been changed. Notifications about new emails are now handled by a dedicated Akonadi agent instead of KMail, so your KMail notification settings is not used anymore. We have decided to enable the agent by default to better advertise this new feature.
The advantage of a dedicated notification agent is, that it can show notifications even when KMail is not running, you can configure to be notified only for certain folders (for instance for inbox, but not for mailing list folder) and the notifications are much nicer - when there's only one new email, the notification will show sender, subject and start of the text (and sender photo when available); when there are multiple new emails, the notifications is like "3 new emails in inbox, 1 new email in Fedora-KDE".
So Akonadi now takes it on itself to fetch mail from POP even when KMail is not running? So far, it had always been KMail which had triggered the POP fetch.
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.
