As I recall, instead of spinning in a tight loop stat() ing a
mail file, you can set up file monitoring events under NeXTStep.
Being presently at Microsoft, I don't have my NeXT docs right
here, but for a quick hack solution (or a quick hack with a
good UI, for that matter) you might look at this feature in the
OS.
