Edit the appropriate commands into /etc/rc.d/rc.local. This is the last
script that is run by the OS at boot time. If a particular computer or
service is not available at the time, it will time out, so your boot will
be noticably slower. You could run that as a background task, but I am
leary of doing so.

Mutt has a reasonable email address aliasing system, but not a full blown
address book.
What is Adora? A Eudora clone? If so where do I find it? Thanks.
