Yeah, if you  set the variable rmail-inbox-list  to a list of strings,
each string designating a file to check for new mail.  The file can be
in either Babyl, UNIX or any other format  RMAIL  can translate.  This
variable has to be set in your rmail-mode-hook, though.


On a somewhat different note, is  there anyway to  detect, on a Sun/3,
when the Emacstool is opened  and trigger RMAIL to automatically "get"
new mail?  Pretty handy...
