I'm using fetchmail/procmail to filter my email. Since there is movemail support
in unix mozilla, it would be nice, to enable it on MacOS.

Attachment: Patch v1

This change enables building of the Movemail code on Mac OS X. Javier has built
and tested this code on his Mac machine and says it is working properly.

Patch v1

Movemail works well on Mac OS X.  The only thing I had to do was (as suggested)
change the permissions on the /var/mail directory.

Juhuu! Great!

Patch checked in. After all of the Tinderboxes clear, I'd like to add this to
the Mac packager files so the defaults/isp/movemail.rdf and
defaults/isp/US/movemail.rdf files are shipped with the default builds.

Checking in configure.in;
/cvsroot/mozilla/configure.in,v  <--  configure.in
new revision: 1.1413; previous revision: 1.1412
done

Actually it looks like there are no package files to update to ship this on the
Mac. Marking bug as fixed.

What about Thunderbird? Is this fixed in Tb as well now,  or is a separate
check-in needed there?

This should be enabled in Thunderbird on Mac as well, but I don't have a machine
to build on to test that.

I just built Thunderbird and can confirm that it now has movemail support.
