all this has nothing to do with mutt!! :


i just want to change my default mailbox from '/var/spool/mail/username'
to '~/mbox'
but when i put the command "MAIL=~/mbox" in the .bashrc, when i log in,
he still looks in the false mailbox. 
i suppose this is because the .bashrc file is executed after he looks in
my mail box. 

so how can i change the MAIL path BEFORE he looks in it??

or if this does not work : is there a bash command to look if i have got
new mail. so that i can put this command in the .bashrc file ....


thanks a lot!
