If you don't want the messages to go away after 30 seconds then disable 
automatic hiding of the pop-up (via the Notification Settings in the 
context menu of the notification icon).

Moreover, if you want to have real dialogs then configure the 
notifications (e.g. via Settings->Configure Notifications in KMail) to 
run the command
  kdialog --error "some error message"
