Hi,
I got the same prob. All mail checkers seem to work with the spool
file, so they only check if the file is == 0. But you need a proggie
that checks if the size of the mailbox or mailfolder has changed.
You could easily do a shell script that checks the sizes and in case
of a change of the mailbox size plays a sound.
... or do something graphical like the clockmail applett
