Bingo!, and thanks! I always have an xterm open, tailing the log time, and I use bsd-mailx for local mail. The reason I want to do this is I am concentrating on a lot of things at the moment and I've managed to miss a few log entries that I wanted to investigate further. So I figured the Icedove popup might catch my attention a bit better. BTW, for anyone else following this, the movemail account type is found by going to: Edit -> Account Settings Then click on Account Actions and choose Add Other Account I had searched the Mozilla community site, but could not find anything even remotely similar to this.
