I still get those whenever I log on to the shell or upon exiting of a long running program during which new mail has come in. The default for my "unfiltered inbox mail" is to go right back into /var/spool/mail/steve (in my case) so the shell detects its presence. I do remember from past filtering experiences if I have all mail filtered into other local mail folders, the shell will know nothing about it thus no new mail notification. I do recall an option that can be used to tell the shell where to look for new mail; I think it is an environment variable. On the other side, my shell tells me I have mail (not new mail) whenever there is any old mail in my inbox. Unfortunately, Pine likes to keep a "dummy" message in there so the shell will tell me that I still have mail even though a normal pine user will see that there is no mail (empty) inbox. I wish Pine didn't need that dummy message to do its thing. Small nuisence - certainly not a show-stopper nor something to get me to quit using Pine.
