Is there any way to setup Icedove to automatically send out a monthly
message.
System:
Debian Sqeeze
KDE Desktop
Icedove mail client
I have tried to setup Exim several times with no success. I don't want
to go there.

I don't think there is since you have to click on the send button to send mail.

Did you try some lighter solutions like http://wiki.debian.org/sSMTP ?
I successfully used it some time ago to send mails without Exim.

You have tried

dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config

to bend exim to your will? Then you would have exim+mail+cron.

Otherwise, you could try sendemail.
