Step 12Configure: Email notifications with Thunderbird
Now that you have a USB controlled bell, you'll want to configure it to be used for something! Any program that'll let you run the ding.exe program as a method of notification will work.
For Thunderbird users, here are some instructions:
1. Download the FiltaQuilla extension, this will give you access to new filter options, including launching an application
2. Go to Tools>Message Filters
3. Create a new filter to match "Status is New" (and maybe also "Not Junk" would be helpful)
4. Set the perform actions to "Run file" (made available by the FiltaQuilla extension), and set the file to the ding.exe application.
5. Also remove the "@SUBJECT@,@MESSAGEID@" part that gets appended to the end of the ding.exe location
6. Repeat for other mail accounts if necessary
7. Sit back, and start sending yourself emails
