Synopsis: set mail [<0|1|2>] Description: This setting affects how the client checks for new mail. When set to 0 (zero), mail checking is disabled. When set to 1 (one), the client will periodically report how many new messages have arrived since the last check, and the total message count. When set to 2 (two), the client shows the sender and subject of each new message as well. See Also: on(5) mail; set(4) status_mail Other Notes: The client will only search for new mail in the user's mail spool. The mail spool directory location is hardcoded into the client at compile time.
