Summary: Biff works also

Well, the 'biff' command also works.  In your .login or .profile,
try:
biff y
That should arrive you when mail arrives.  The only thing is that it will
even tell you if you're in vi or something like that.  The thing about it
is that it will tell you who the mail is from in addition to just saying
"Hey!  You got some new mail!"
