Re: bash's mail-checking values

The question is:
how/where does bash keep trace of *timestamp and size* of /var/mail/
$USER it checks to tell there's mail.

Not what are the variables that locate the mail file|directory, and
that specify the delay between checkings.

Those are the answers to your questions. Hint: think about access times
and modification times and do some experiments with 'touch'.
