It's a feature of the shell you're using. For mine I'm using bash so doing a "man bash" gives MAILPATH='/usr/spool/mail/bfox?"You have mail"' which is a colon-separated list of file names to be checked for mail. So if you want to be prompted about new mails just do this: MAILPATH='/usr/spool/mail/bfox?"You have mail":/home/bfox/Mail/Inbox?"You have mail in Mail/Inbox"' and it'll inform you of which mailbox has new mails right from the shell prompt. Another thing you have to check out are procmail recipes. I find this website to be helpful: http://www.ii.com/internet/robots/procmail/qs/ HTH. -- +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+--+-+-+-+-+-+ Key fingerprint = 9DE1 5825 77B4 FF45 7485 D3EB DCCF DE48 09B6 4426 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+--+-+-+-+-+-+ Who's watching the watchmen?
