Very Computer

I have never been able to figure out how to get
csh to notify me of received mail.  Setting the
the "mail" variable to a number doesn't seem to turn
it on.

I would appreciate any help.

From the csh man page:

     mail              A list of files where the C  shell  checks
                       for  mail.  If the first word of the value
                       is a number, it specifies a mail  checking
                       interval in seconds (default 5 minutes).

say

  set mail = ( 300 $MAIL )
