"you have mail" and maildir (courier)

[dick hoogendijk]

After installing courier (w/ QMail maildirs) I lost my notification on
'new mail' on logon. Can anybody explain to me how I get this back. What
and where do I change 'the options' I'm trying the same thing on my
linux server (debai woody) and have no luck there either. It's said I
have to define QMAILDIR=./Maildir in /etc/login.defs (on debian linux!)
but nothing works.

How is this done on FreeBSD. Do I unset MAIL=/var/mail/user? What do I
define instead? Or do I need some kind of utility (outside the
basesystem)? It's a small thing, but I'm sure it can be solved ;)
