I notice emacs is checking mailbox every minute,
but I'm not using gnus/mew/rmail ...

strace log:

19154 stat64("/var/mail/root", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
19154 readlink("/var/mail/root", 0x862acc0, 100) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid
argument)
19154 lstat64("/var/mail/root", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=0, ...}) = 0

Did you turn on display-time-mode?  It by default checks your mailbox
and displays an icon if you do have mail.  There are customization
variables to disable the mail checking and still display the time.

Cool,

(setq display-time-mail-file t)

display-time-mail-file's value is t

Documentation:
File name of mail inbox file, for indicating existence of new mail.
Non-nil and not a string means don't check for mail; nil means use
default, which is system-dependent, and is the same as used by Rmail.


thanks!
