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.
