How to automatically organize a lot of mail aliases in Thunderbird?

I have a self-hosted mail server. So I have setup an alias like so



@foo.bar root@foo.bar


Means every email sent to [alias]@foo.bar will be redirected to the inbox of root@foo.bar.



I use it to have a mail account for each service I use.




  • stackexchange@foo.bar

  • github@foo.bar

  • ...


I set up sieve and automatically moved emails to the folder INBOX.${alias}. I really like that solution. But there is one drawback: It's not a viable solution when I want to get push notifications for received emails. I'd have to establish a connection for each folder. That's a lot of connections - and my phone can't deal with it. It opens tons of connections but there are so many missed notifications.



I don't want to rely on poll - I want to use push. I also don't want to copy emails because that gets messy fast.



I tried to setup an All Mails folder - just like gmail does for example. But that didn't work.



I'm using a simple postfix + dovecot stack.



Any recommendations?
