Hi, How do you get new mail notification for the other mailboxes? If you use, for instance xbiff or xmailbox then you need to add the -file your-mailbox to it. For example (in my .xsession): xmailbox -file $HOME/Mail/maillists -geometry 75x68+1215+115 & xbiff -file $HOME/Mail/postmaster -fg lightyellow -bg black -geometry 75x68+1197+97 & Of course, this will not take care of the mail beying delivered to $HOME/Mail/maillists or $HOME/Mail/postmaster. Procmail should do that according to your $HOME/.procmailrc file. If you use rclock then you can either use the $MAIL variable or use the -mailfile mailfile option. I hope this helps. Ionel
