NAME
       icedove - Mail User Agent (MUA) and newsgroup/RSS client for X11 derived from the Mozilla Thunderbird.

SYNOPSIS
       icedove [OPTIONS] [URL]

       /usr/lib/icedove/icedove-bin [OPTIONS] [URL]

DESCRIPTION
       Icedove provides IMAP/POP support, a built-in RSS reader, support for HTML mail, powerful quick search, saved search folders, advanced mes-
       sage filtering, junk mail controls, message grouping, labels, return receipts, smart address book, LDAP address	completion,  import  tools
       and the ability to manage multiple identities in email and newsgroup accounts.

       Icedove provides enterprise and government grade security such as S/MIME, digital signing, message encryption, and support for certificates
       and security devices.

USAGE
       icedove is a simple shell script that will set up the environment for the actual executable, icedove-bin.  If  there  is  an  Icedove  mail
       client already running, icedove will arrange for it to create a new mail client window; otherwise it will start the Icedove application.
