-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-.PP
-The pam_mail PAM module provides the "you have new mail" service to the user\&. It can be plugged into any application that has credential or session hooks\&. It gives a single message indicating the
-\fInewness\fR
-of any mail it finds in the user\*(Aqs mail folder\&. This module also sets the PAM environment variable,
-\fBMAIL\fR, to the user\*(Aqs mail directory\&.
-.PP
-If the mail spool file (be it
-/var/mail/$USER
-or a pathname given with the
-\fBdir=\fR
-parameter) is a directory then pam_mail assumes it is in the
-\fIMaildir\fR
-format\&.
