I've been having trouble getting zsh 2.5.03 to automatically check my mail folders. I've set MAILCHECK to various values, and set mailpath to a colon-delimited list of various files and directories (I use MH, but I tried with some normal files, too.) I've also set MAIL to my system mailbox (in my case ~/.mail). But I can't get it to do anything. Is there some trick to this, or something obvious I'm missing? I just wrote to the old list address, but I checked the archive here and din't think my message got through. But if it did, and this is a repeat, my apologies. -Dan Eisenbud
