use the mailboxes directive to turn on notifications for mailboxes.  here's mine...

mailboxes `echo $HOME/mail/* | tr " " "\n" | grep -Ev "sent" | tr "\n" " "` 
/var/spool/mail/graffix

that allows notifications for "/var/spool/mail/graffix" and everythig in "$HOME/mail/" 
except for the sent folder.
