If you are usng bash, you can have the shell tell you about new mail.
from the bash manpage:
MAILPATH
A colon-separated list of file names to be checked
for mail. The message to be printed when mail
arrives in a particular file may be specified by
separating the file name from the message with a
`?'. When used in the text of the message, $_
expands to the name of the current mailfile. Exam
ple:
MAILPATH='/var/mail/bfox?"You have
mail":~/shell-mail?"$_ has mail!"'
Bash supplies a default value for this variable,
but the location of the user mail files that it
uses is system dependent (e.g., /var/mail/$USER).
