Configuring the email and filters help needed

[Alan87i]

I'm running 1.22.3 on Ubuntu 8.04 .
I'm totally lost when it comes to setting up the filters and the email event client.
for now I want to have it email a picture of what triggered the event.
Later if possible I hope to be able to have it send an IM to a msn account .
Is there a tutorial page with screen shots I can use as a guide.
I'm taking a week off in a few days and would like to get something going before I leave.
Thanks
Allan

Have you had a look at the documentation section of the wiki?

Not sure if it covers setting up mails, but there's a fairly comprehensive section on filtering.

[Edit] Forgot to say that there's also the user manual which may be worth a look if you haven't already found it:-
