for my icedove mail.biff.show_alert has a true value and the
notifications works
But the problem is a regression. On a modern desktop environment any
notification are showed on a centralized manager. Older version of
Iceweasel (and Icedove <= 17) do this.
I don't know the details but on new versions of mozilla software lack
the libnotify support.
this bug affect also thunderbird on ubuntu

Trying to fade any doubt: when you say "The notification works here on
Gnome 3 and KDE." you mean that the notification of a new mail arrived
is showed, on KDE, in the same position and with same style like a
notification of completed copy of a big file on the filesystem ?
On my machine the answer is no. Icedove 24 (unlike 17 and 10) shows in
autonomous way its notifications.
