In my .bashrc
If I  export $MAIL=$HOME/Mail/inbox/'
whenever the directory $HOME/Mail/inbox/new have file or not, mode-line will always display
have new mail. It ignore display-time-mail-directory

And I set $MAIL=/var/mail/$USER or $MAIL=xxxxxx(do not exit). In .emacs add "(setq display-time-mail-directory "~/Mail/inbox/new/")"
everything work fine.

WHY?
