How do I set up a MOVEMAIL account on Unix/Linux?

There is no possibility to set up a MOVEMAIL account over the user interface yet. To have MOVEMAIL support in SeaMonkey, set up the MOVEMAIL account as a POP3 server. Then open prefs.js in your Profile Directory and look for the pop3 server:
user_pref("mail.server.server1.type", "pop3");
and change it to
user_pref("mail.server.server1.type", "movemail");

Please note that the server number (server1) may be different on your system, depending on the number of servers you added. Please be careful not accidentally changing an actual POP3 server.
