This feature is too specific to be of general interest.

I would like to deploy mail-notification to our employees (700 of them), but need a method to build an account on the command line with everything except the password which the user would be prompted for. This would only happen the first time they launch mail-notification.

The user community will not have the skills or ability to add their own accounts, but they can do the password.

So I need something like:

mail-notification --on-empty-add-imap="$USER|128.222.30.30|"

(where possibly pipes would be used to break apart fields required to build a basic account).

This would be a BIG help for us. Right now what I'll have to do is put in a set of files into their home directory on first launch and then use sed to change the lines related to their user account name and it will give them a flashing icon on the sys tray until they enter the password.
