>Is there a way to have nn alert me of incoming mail like rn does?

Yes.  Put this in your .nn/init file:

set mail /usr/mail/fox

In place of /usr/mail/fox, put the full pathname of your mail spool
file.  NN should look by default in the location /usr/spool/mail/user,
but if your mail file is not located there, NN will not find it.
