Every once in awhile myself or one of the other analysts will be
in some software package (usually informix), and upon exiting we
will get a message that says "you have mail".  When we then fire
up our mail package, it says "No mail.".

In looking through our /usr/mail que there are no files, even of
0 length, for that person.

We are running Unix 5.2 on a Zilog Model 130.  For mail we are
using mail, mailx and elm.  The Informix version is 3.30.12.  

Questions:  Is this caused by informix or the OS?  After that,
how do we stop this?

Larry Taborek,
Doris Scottow
