Or you could simply modify the mail server to trigger a script when a message is delivered, rather than having to poll each directory/file. A procmail/maildrop filter would be one way to implement it easily (allowing you to filter for messages from specific people, to certain folders, etc.)

To be honest, this is an ancient idea.  grep comsat /etc/services

New mail notification has been around since the dawn of mail itself.

Look for comsat in 'man procmail' and review 'man comsat' and biff, etc.
