biff was a specific form of mail notification that actually resulted in a daemon (comsat) writing a one-line summary of new messages to your terminal. That's *probably* not what you used to be using. Most people nowadays use the mail notification features built into their shell. Try searching the manpage for your shell (man ksh, man csh, etc) for 'mail' to get info on the hook for you.
