Well, no. There are some automated messages that I want to get, like a server 
going down.

Then there are the messages from mailing lists like this, Informix, Derby, 
etc... that just aren't urgent....

Since I don't have a BES running, I'm using my cell provider to pull from my 
server using IMAP over an SSL. So the crackberry gets everything in my inbox.

My only mail server is Postfix. (Sorry I'm running a small consulting 
company.)

I was thinking of creating mail aliases for support, dovecot, bills, etc ...

I guess it is almost like creating folders and having dovecot or something 
automatically filter the mail to a specific folder. Then I could subscribe 
only to a single folder.

Can I do this easily within Dovecot?

TIA!

PS. If you haven't guessed, I'm really open to all suggestions and I'm still a 
newbie with dovecot so I don't know all of their filtering capabilities.
