bash is a little strange about this sometimes. You should also look at the
MAILCHECK variable. Mine is set for 60 seconds. What I have seen is that
this is not an immediate response. You have to have your session open
long enough for the mailcheck to take place, AND it displays only after
you do something (e.g. hit return, ls, whatever). It's not perfect, but
it's better than nothing.
