I assume there must exist solution for my problem in the emacs world.

I'm looking for a emacs code which displays (possibly in the subject line
of the emacs) if some new mail for me has coming in.

At my workstation with X-windows "xbiff" does this nicely.
However, at home I have only a PC, running a remote emacs. 
In this case I find it quite boring looking every other hour
if there is any new mail.

Thanks

wolf
