This is the relevant line from my .fvwmrc:

        Style "*" IconBox 0 +0 +90 +880

So, you could have different places for different icons. This line defines
a region where all my icons wil go to, its the top left of my screen,
down the side (if you see what I mean).

Read the 'man' page for more info.

I have just decided that I'll move all my mail windows to a different icon
box and was poking about when your mail arrived, good timing!
