I had this problem before within my xterms and what did was setup my
.login file to execute a "biff n" command which shuts off the mail
notifications. I usually use a csh or tcsh shell and they can be
configured to check for mail. I found it very irritating when fetchmail
pulled down new mail and all of my xterm windows beeped.
