I've been been using mutt + offlineimap for great justice ... except for
filtering.

I've previously relied on procmail for local rules management. While
Gmail's rules are reasonably decent, not all IMAP providers are as
blessed.

I'd also like to trigger libnotify messages on certain messages as well.

Hrm ... imapfilter according to the Consilience blog:

What are others using for this, and/or set up the bomb?

Hi, I use a script based on the perl module Email::Filter.
Email::Filter's syntax is much better than procmail,
even allowing for Perl's much-maligned syntax.

You could place that in a .forward file.

I combined Email::Filter with an IMAP client library, and published
the code at https://github.com/bolangi/imapget .
Although it works for me, it needs work and should
be considered alpha code.

cheers,

Does that work with offlineimap? Note that I'm not getting mail
delivered through a local MTA/MDA, but directly to my mail folder(s).

'offlineimap' doesn't appear to provide any hooks for
influencing local delivery.

The imapget script gets messages from an IMAP mailbox
'INBOX', ignoring already downloaded messages.
You could point it toward a local IMAP mail server
and "download" from there.
