This is the fault of the csh (assuming that's the shell you use).  The csh
is pretty dumb about how it decides when you have new mail.  Since the
mailbox has been updated since the last time it issued a prompt, it tells
you that you have new mail.  You can always "unset mail" and/or ignore the
problem...
