I am looking for something similar, to integrate with some backup jobs 
that run as a script and then upload to a cloud service. Mainly because 
we have the alert, acknowledge, resolve (or escalate) and all the 
contacts etc setup in nagios by chef.


You could modify one of the pop3 or IMAP checks to login to an account 
and parse the results... for example..

Cheers,
