Segnalo le seguenti variabili d'ambiente, dorebbero fare al caso tuo.
MAILCHECK
    How often (in seconds) that the shell should check for mail in the
	files specified in the MAILPATH or MAIL variables. The default is
	60 seconds. When it is time to check for mail, the shell does so
	before displaying the primary prompt. If this variable is unset,
	or set to a value that is not a number greater than or equal to
	zero, the shell disables mail checking.


MAIL
    If this parameter is set to a filename and the MAILPATH variable
	is not set, Bash informs the user of the arrival of mail in the
	specified file.

MAILPATH
    A colon-separated list of filenames which the shell
	periodically checks for new mail. Each list entry can specify
	the message that is printed when new mail arrives in the mail
	file 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 mail file.
