Okay, since I can use it now, a few notes on problems.

        * Once I've opened the Addressbook I can't get
          rid of the bloody thing. If I kill it, it
          instantly re-incarnates when I click on the
          main window again.

        * You might want to integrate the port usage
          with the iptables people. I had to add
          separate rules for port 538 and for the 
          proxy it sets up. (I firewall lo for
          anti-trojan defense).

        * is there some place to drop in my 
          .NeXT/mailalias file so I can use my
          old Address book?

        * Mailboxes doesn't seem to want to let
          me add a new mailbox path. When I try
          it tells me You Must Select A Valid Root
          Where to Create This Mailbox, but it
          doesn't seem to give me an option for
          giving it that root.

          Reason? I want to add links to my old
          NeXT mailboxes. 

Here are a few of the error messages I get:
