Yes, but both KDE and Gnome have "biff" programs that (if I recall correctly) handle multiple mailboxes and multiple protocols. The default X client xbiff(1) is more limited, but available on *every* X installation. There are other clients for this sort of thing, as well. There are currently 8 hits on "ls -d /usr/ports/mail/*biff*". To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
