You'll see a warning yellow triangle with exclamation point in the bottom
right of the main window. Double-click it, or press cmd-8, or select Error
Log in the Window menu, to open the Error Log. You'll see all the errors,
date-stamped. Double-click the most recent item to get the full error
description - such as it is. Theses are usually server errors, and the
server doesn't tell you much.

Correct.

No. A running application cannot be removed from the dock. How about hiding
the dock? cmd-opt-D. Even when I turn on "Animate" nothing bounces when the
dock is hidden - I haven't got a mail error yet but I imagine it will be the
same. Just press cmd-opt-D, or hover at the edge of the screen (better). In
Panther - much more fun - try cmd-tab.
