I guess we need to start with a definition of "mail".

SBBSecho only deals with FidoNet mail, or more specifically, FidoNet netmail
and echomail. Is the kind of "mail" you're referring to? SBBSecho creates the
telegrams to users, notifying them of received netmail and echomail, when it
tosses the mail. SBBSecho doesn't need to run during logon to do this as the
telegrams created when SBBSecho does run just sit there until they are
displayed to the user and then automatically deleted.

If you're just interested in displaying the number of personal email messages
waiting for a user, you can use the MAILW @-code to display this value.
