Comment 5 for bug 1872053

Well, my approach was very simple : mail notification in terminal has worked for decades, I used in the 2000s, so why not use it again if it suits me ?
It is not mandatory to "reinvent the wheel" for an old need.

Anyway, I already tried to use /var/mail/$USER in my graphical email client (Thunderbird) : trust me it's very buggy. (Mail is only checked at start, sometimes "read-only", sometimes it becomes duplicated)

But I will gladly examine any other graphical solution, provided it's (almost) as lightweight as the terminal one :)
