In the older Debian versions' bash, it used to do that when I was in its command prompt. Now, it just checks when I log into bash.

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

make sure you have "biff" installed (otherwise # apt install biff)
and make sure you have "biff y" in your .profile.

Thanks. Hmm, I don't get anything in my bash prompt when I get new local e-mails.
