If the OP is running multiple instances of SM with different user

Yeah, that might be a partial solution, but it still doesn't give me the
information of whether it's just a backup notification or whether a
server has just eaten its motherboard and the client is currently
getting CPR while waiting for me to reply. And then there's the whole
issue of running multiple instances/profiles as a workaround. I've only
got 6GB RAM and already find the system paging out to the swap file
regularly. Running 8 instances of SeaMonkey will quickly suck up RAM in
similar fashion as black holes consume matter.

Growl made this all so simple. A quick glance at the notification bubble
gave me the account name and sender of the incoming mail.

Thanks for a helpful suggestion, though! :)

Trane, have you looked at Edit->Preferences->Mail & Newsgroups->Notifications??

If you set it up to show the three selectable items, it would be the same for all accounts, but at least, if you're at the computer, you might have half a clue which Mail Account the new mail is in!!

(These settings are from Linux SeaMonkey .... hopefully, the Mac SeaMonkey has similar settings)
