You can call a script for this, it could make use of sylpheed's
--status or --status-full [folder] (see --help) to watch a specific
folder and only raise an alert (sound, OSD, dialog, whatever) upon new
messages.

Show us the filter rule? And the script? But you'd better use the
"Execute command when new messages arrived" hook that is invoked once
per retrieval, instead of a filter rule that is called once per
retrieved email.
