Thunderbird setup

First, and possibly most importantly, you need to change your Thunderbird prefs.

To fix, Preferences -> Advanced -> General tab -> Config Editor. Change the mail.check_all_imap_folders_for_new to TRUE.

Filters

Nagios

Nagios is useful but only if the alerts are humanly parsable. I'd rather know about something than not know, but the deluge of emails is too much, causing me to want to just delete them all.

Instead, I'm filtering. All Nagios filters search on the From field for the string "nagios". I split these up into separate folders:

Name	additional filter rule	destination mail folder
nagios - netapp	Subject contains "netapp"	nagios/netapp/
nagios - xserve	Subject contains "xserve"	nagios/osx/
nagios - win32	Subject contains "win32"	nagios/win32/
nagios - surf	Subject contains "surf"	nagios/linux/
nagios - misc		nagios/

All bugmail will be from bugzilla-daemon@mozilla.org. In addition,
