Re: Automatically checking mail



I've been using zsh MAILPATH to check various files for quite some
time now, and have had no problems with it.  Here is the relevant
portion of my .zprofile file:

# How often to check for mail, and where to check.
MAIL=$HOME/Mail/inbox/mbox
MAILCHECK=120
MAILPATH="$MAIL?You have new mail"
MAILPATH="$MAILPATH:/usr/mail/?Someone has mail in /usr/mail/"
MAILPATH="$MAILPATH:$HOME/dead.letter?You have a dead letter"
MAILPATH="$MAILPATH:/tmp/post.messages?You have a post note"
